Yankee Spirits is a wine & spirits store that opened in Sturbridge, Massachusetts in 1971. The…read moreliquor superstore is one of the largest in New England and carries a wide selection of wine, spirits, beer, hard cider, and mead at very competitive prices. As of 2026, there are additional locations in Attleboro, Norwood, and Swansea. I recently made a trip to Yankee Spirits while I was passing through the Sturbridge area. I have visited before, but this was my first visit in about six years or so. They have an absolutely enormous selection of alcoholic beverages, but I was only interested in exploring their very impressive selection of craft beer. I don't make it to this area very often, so I was most looking forward to see if they carried anything that's either hard to find or just totally unavailable in my home area of New Haven, Connecticut. I spent maybe a half hour just walking down the aisles and seeing what all of the options were. Afterwards, I was ready to begin shopping. I ended up purchasing a pretty sizable haul which should keep my refrigerator full for a while. Most of the beers I grabbed were rare barrel-aged stouts, but I also picked out a few IPAs and other various styles that no longer get distribution in my home area. If you're looking for a serious selection of excellent craft beer, wine, or spirts in New England then look no further than Yankee Spirits!

I don't even know why I bother going anywhere else for libations. Seriously every time I come here…read moreI say that. They have EVERYTHING. An obscure cider brand from Michigan you tried once on a vacation? Not only do they have it they have a variety from that same brand. Want a wine you can only describe in flavor and maybe to e color of the label? They got someone that can hunt it down for you. Don't know how to host a tasting event? They created the PhD on the subject. It's actually not a good place if you get overwhelmed easily as the store has about 800% inventory at all times and they span from the basics to absolute top shelf temp/humidly controlled storage for basically anything you can drink. Staff is so helpful they make shopping pleasant - I went in looking for Marsala wine to make a chicken dish and after talking to a wine person there I had 3 more dish ideas and left with something completely different than Marsala wine - and it was incredible. Perfect recommendation. The most selection of liquor , the largest variety of cider and microbrews and a staggering selection of wine, again I can't see a reason to go elsewhere anymore.

In high school, we'd often stop there in the mornings to stock up on Jolt cola and other necessities. I have very fond memories of this litle store. I stopped in to pick up some booze on my way to my parent's house for a visit. I hadn't been in there in years and I was greeted by a bright, clean, modern-looking space. A major upgrade from the dingy decor of yesteryear. However, and maybe it's just because there's more space now, the store looked practically empty to me. There was only one or two of everything on the shelves which just made it look depressing. And, any store that calls itself a package store should have a decent booze selection, which sadly, this place did not. I wanted red zinfandel for me and blue curacao to make my mom "that magic blue drink you made me this summer" as she called it and neither were to be found. Sooooooo, 2 stars for the less than adequate selection of booze and an extra star for the upgrades to the store.

My girlfriend and I went out for music bingo last night. We had a great time, the atmosphere was fantastic and the energy is amazing. However, the apps we odd we're just not good! Well over cooked chicken tenders for starters. They appeared to be double fried, like they got tossed back in for a warm up or something. They were so dry and so extra crispy. The chicken quesadilla was a little better but still only finished two of the four slices. Oh well, we don't go for the food though. We go for the atmosphere, for the great bartenders, and the beautiful lake views!

I'm surprised this store doesn't have a higher Yelp rating. They have a massive selection, and…read moretheir service has been great. Most of the time I use their delivery service which is only $5.99 (plus a tip for the driver). In some instances, especially when shopping for gifts, I visit this store. I found their prices to be much more competitive than grocery stores or local liquor stores. They offer 10% discounts on quantity wine purchases and have occasional flash sales providing a 15% discount. They offer classes and wine tastings here, and have a good rewards program which earns $5 credits among other perks. They have a large humidor and offer many non-alcoholic gift items. Returns have been easy on the rare occasions needed, and on two occasions when my delivery order was incorrect, the Total Wine customer service team immediately credited me for the incorrect items. Their delivery has always been on time, within the one-hour window provided. Their text updates make it easy to track the delivery.
