You would walk by this place dozens of times and not realize what gems it holds. Hell, I've walked…read moreby it tons of times and paid no attention. Then one day I walked in and realized that I'd been cheating myself out of quality liquors. Varsity Liquors isn't much aesthetically, but like the name implies, it holds an excellent "variety" of just about all spirits. Being that I'm a rum snob, I was thrilled to see they carried some of my favorite high end rums, and at normal prices. They also have an excellent wine and champagne selection. You can have your "variety" of everything from regional wines, to great choices of rose champagne. Everything is well laid out and easy to find given the small size of the store. Aside from the higher end stuff, they also have all the beer basics, mixers and bar snacks you would find at a half decent liquor store. Great spot!

They also have a large selection of THC beverages which is always a plus in a Jersey liquor store too. The cashier was really nice and packed everything neatly in a box to make my life easier.

The store has removed all of the things that made Joe Canal's a decent place to shop - including competitive pricing. Lastly, be sure to watch the price charged at the register - they've tried to overcharge me twice. There are definitely better liquor stores!

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.

The shelves are thoughtfully…read morecurated--full of small-producer gems and global varieties--and every bottle feels hand-selected with care. What truly sets the shop apart is the team: the staff are warm, knowledgeable, and eager to guide you to the perfect pairing, whether you arrive with a detailed brief or just tonight's dinner menu. Laurent, the owner, leads by example. His genuine passion for wine and hospitality creates an inviting atmosphere where you never feel rushed or out of your depth. Talking with him is like getting a mini masterclass, and his recommendations consistently impress. The store doesn't always have every bottle back in stock, but you can always discover an equally exciting alternative for your meal or occasion. My only request is for the city to convert the permanent parking spots directly in front of the shop into a 5-10-minute loading zone reserved for Princeton Corkscrew customers.

A WINE SHOP THAT SELLS NO BAD WINE!…read more One of the mottos we wine drinkers have frequently heard is "Life is too short to drink bad wine!" This is the credo of the Princeton Corkscrew. This well researched and mindfully assembled "wine library" has best representatives of even the tiniest microclimate where wines of note are produced. The associates working beside the owner Laurent Chapuis are well-studied connaisseurs who can talk intelligently about every bottle in the shop. Before a new bottle is placed in the racks it has been tasted and discussed by members of the team. Laurent, himself, visits the winemakers and the terroirs to select only the best examples and best vintages for his shelves. Open tastings invite we consumers to meet the makers and taste their wines including vertical samplings which educate us. I've never visited a better educated shop than the Princeton Corkscrew. And I have never bought a wine that didn't live up to its portrayal. Good advice. Good information. Good pricing. GREAT WINE! Merci Laurent!

Their prices are very reasonable and I really like the fact that if you pay cash your products will be even cheaper. The staff I've encountered there are good, they keep everything well stocked and I'm sure they get a lot of customers especially during the holidays. We all need something to drink when hosting a family gathering, visiting the extended family or maybe you just want to enjoy yourself and have a drink after a long day at work. So if you are ever in the area and you want good alcohol for affordable prices plus cash discounts then this is place for you. Sometimes I have seen better prices there than at the local winery or brewery so it definitely doesn't hurt to check them out!
