The place to get wine in Boston…read more It's rare to find a store with well done curations, most shops these days are filled with yellow tail, Josh, and veuve. Social wines is different, they excel in having interesting stuff, much of which comes from small growers around the world. I've had a a number of natural wines here that were particularly excellent, namely this Austrian one that I can never remember the name of. The staff are also great, they have consistently made excellent recommendations. Not just the most expensive bottles either, just flat out good recommendations. TLDR it's just a really fun gem in Boston. Always look forward to finding a new bottle here.

Went here with a friend to do a wine tasting they were having and it was pretty great. The lady…read morerunning it was super knowledgeable and talked us through everything. The order was also on point with the funkier, spicier wines coming later. Afterwards we looked around to check out what they had and was impressed with not only their selection but how much they prioritized local. Always love when places do that; if I wanted generic national brands I'd go to giant supermarkets.

A spin on an (almost) classic: I dedicate this review to all the real lushes in the world, and all the faux lushes too. Baby, they got our money. Don't you worry, say pay. Baby, they got our money. Immaculate, no sketch factor, respectable beer choices, something is always on sale, and the employees can be brusque, but under their stern exterior, they're helpful and sweet albeit slightly awkward fellows. Gan bei, slainte, nazdravi, cheers, salut and all that!

Makes for a convenient stop when you are grocery shopping at stop n shop or getting meds and stuff at Rite Aid. The Packie is reasonably organized for its size. Beer cases at the very back. Wines right in the middle. And everything else pretty much everywhere else. They definitely have no deals if you are the kind who seeks discounted liquor. You will have to go someplace else for the best of prices. But you can be certain you will find the basics - nothing fancy. Also - they have lottery tickets at the checkout. I am always amused to see some regulars standing at the counter - playing their numbers. It's probably their thing and a bottle of Mickeys. The Southie way I guess. Good deal.

The beer selection isn't as solid as Al's but the wine deals are worth it. There are bins of wine going 2 bottles for 12 bucks and a bin that is smaller 2 bottles for 10 bucks. Its awesome. If I can get drunk fr 12 bucks, you've made a regular out of me. I second the lady behind the counter being pretty much the cutest thing ever.

WINE UP I wanted to…read moregrab a couple bottles of wine for my hotel room. I first went to the Trader Joe's down the street. It was really small and carried no wine at all. Shame on you Trader Joe! I then decided to check out the neighborhood and found this cute place. I loved how the store was visible from the street and down a staircase. The degree of difficulty was awesome, if you had pre-cocktail'd! I recommend you use the hand rail going down. Ha! When I walked in, the two guys behind the counter were very friendly. I wasn't sure if they were always like that or just seeing if my intentions were to really shop. Hey it's Boston and tnese guys don't take any chances. I walked around the store to check out the selection. One guy followed me to the back of the store. He asked if I needed help. Yeah they still had their eye on me. Ha! Near the front door, there were a few shelves of discounted wines. This was a great deal. Buy two two bottles, mix and match varieties for only $13. That's a great deal considering Eataly across the street can't touch that price. I found two fantastic white wines. One was from Yugoslavia. It was really good. I had no idea Yugoslavia make wine. I thought they only made that little car called the Yugo. Where's the Yugo? Personally I'd stick to making wine over cars. I would totally buy this wine again. The store had a ton of foot traffic. I loved how the taxes were all built into the prices of the alcohol. There a single beer cooler in the back where you can select beers from the broken cases. They have signs about not breaking six packs in the fridge. That's so old school. In the old days you could always break six packs but don't do it here. You've been warned. This is a great stop to stock up your hotel room with cheers, especially if you're working at the convention center. Don't pay the high prices of the hotels. I got two bottles for less then one glass of wine. Now that's a deal. Thanks for wining me up in Boston.

I wouldn't say that the people who work here are super knowledgeable and helpful so don't come here without having an idea of what you want. This is a great place for a quick grab and go (pay first of course!). They do have the occasional homeless person hanging about which can be a bit seedy but it can't be helped. This places serves its purpose, just don't come here expecting incredible serving or a very large selection.
