Since I pretty much only drink beer, I can't really comment on the wine and liquor selection, but the shelves seem pretty full of different options to me :) Prices are OK - maybe a tiny bit higher than larger stores, but nothing crazy. The aisles are kind of tight and you can end up having to wait for a second to avoid creating a traffic jam with other customers, but not a big deal. Service is friendly and effective. Overall, I will continue to shop here when I'm lazy and don't want to make the trip to larger liquor stores in the area :)

I too am close to being a fan of this very nice liquor store, literally steps away from my…read moreneighborhood. I am probably more snobby in my alcohol consumption than many folks. And it's just in the selection here that keeps me from being a true fan. That being said I can see myself stopping by, or maybe even stumbling in without a car if ever the need arises;) My first impressions were promising. Wide open aisles without case stack displays everywhere. Leading off the first aisle is local NJ wines, for the most part sweet ones but with a few decent dry also. Prices were pretty much inline with other local retailers. There is overhead and floor signage to find specific sections easier. The French offerings are pretty sparse, but you have a few $20 ish and slightly higher options. Regrettably I skipped the Italian section completing so that will be in my list for the next visit. I did see 2 higher end Barolos in a glass display that housed other more expensive bottles. The California offerings were slightly better, here you will find a few bottles over $30 from know growers. But I noticed a few more widely known items were a buck or 2 higher than other local shops. In the spirit category, there are decent selections in Scotch and possibly tequila, less so for bourbons. But the catch is you have to chose from available choices, not necessarily what you came in looking for. That could mean finding a new fav. Or something you'll end up using as a mixer.... The beer and lighter drink section left me wanting for more. There were a few interesting brands I've not heard of, but really no sours or ciders to speak of. I eventually made my way to the back of the store where there is a non refrigerated section of less mainstream items. Here I noticed a few local brews and ciders, and my eventual purchase, Rodenbach in euro pint cans. I've never seen them before so yes, I did find something I wasn't expecting here! Customer service was friendly by all 3 employees I encountered, I was even asked if I needed any help. I have a few items in mind I saw there that I may have to come back for too. Great option for Hamilton residents not wanting to go to large box stores. This one was not too small and crowded, nor too big and imposing. 3.5 stars and counting

After picking up our Covid-19 take out celebratory dinner across the road at Szechuan House, we…read morestopped in at Wine Republic for a 12 box of beer to enjoy with our spicy Chinese feast. Put on my mask and gloves and walked in for the first time. It is a big warehouse style store, with good prices and friendly staff. I found my way to the rear where the cases of pilsner were piled up on wood pallets. The large display of Corona caught my attention and the irony was inescapable. Modelo Cervesaria has stopped production of this line due to its name association with the pandemic, but that didn't mean they weren't going to allow their distributors to sell what was already in stock. Why not? After all, it isn't labeled "COVID LIGHT". That might give me pause. So, I pulled a box from the stack and proceeded to the cashier. In another time my appearance with mask, gloves and black hat would have set off alarm in the employees, and maybe even a sawed off from under the counter. In this new reality I was met with a smile and gratitude for stopping in. Their wine and whiskey aisles seemed to lack much variety compared to the big boys, but it was more than adequate for a quick booze purchase. I would certainly visit again when in the vicinity.

Look, unless you're an obnoxiously hard to please oenophile who will only tolerate some obscure vintage from the Loire Valley then Wegmans selection is to be considered vast and more than adequate for 99.9% of your drinking needs. Most important, they are staffed with knowledgeable pros who can keep your wanderings to a minimum. A vast improvement over their overcrowded digs previously. See you on the Dark Side of the Moon.
