The very best wine shop in Alabama. Great service and fantastic selection. If can not find it at this store then you will probably have to order it. read more

The praise for this shop is certainly warranted! I came in with a kind of strange and specific request - my doctor told me to start drinking preservative-free (usually European) wine. Katie didn't give me any weird looks but helped me find several varieties of preservative-free wine suited to my tastes (I like sweeter wine). They have wines from the US and all over Europe and elsewhere. I have heard great things about their wine tastings and would love to go to one, but I hear they fill up fast! read more

They are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. N

I stopped by because I was looking for the wine that I had when I went to Charleston. They didn't have it in stock but was able to order for it and said it will come the next day. I'm trying to give it as well birthday gift. The lady did tell me that they have wine tastings and should stop by. This place is very nice inside and I'll definitely try other wines when I visit. This place was a life saver because I thought Birmingham wouldn't have my new favorite wine lol. read more

If you you like wine and haven't visited The Vintage Wine Shoppe yet, this place is a MUST! I attend a monthly wine tasting with a women's group I belong to and from the first time, I was incredibly impressed. Their selection of wines from all over the world and all regions is impressive! Whether you want from Italian, French, California, Spain, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, etc. they will probably have it! AND... their prices are surprisingly reasonable! I admit, I purchase a lot of wine at Costco because of their selection and prices, but The Vintage Wine Shoppe's prices are pretty close to the big box warehouse's. I was truly surprised when I compared prices of some of my favorite wines. I love that when I shop here I support a local business. The store is also surprisingly large, consisting of 4 rooms/sections. They carry many interesting wine supplies and tools like openers, carafes, wine glasses, decanters, etc. along with other home decor and great gift items. When I attend our monthly wine tastings, they give our group an additional 10% off our purchase which is GREAT! They also have FREE wine tastings on a pretty regular basis. You can join their email list to find out about the tastings as well as sales. And the STAFF... any time I am looking for something specific, they blow me away with their knowledge and recommendations. So don't be intimidated to ask questions or ask for suggestions. If you have a price range in mind, they can help you find something you will love within that price range. read more

This company Is so well versed in their wine. I wanted try a few new kinds and based off what I told them I liked they picked out this incredible bottle. They're genuinely not trying to push expensive bottles on you. I was fitted with a $6 incredible sparkling Riesling and came back to buy six more. The whole feel of the place is cozy and I could spend hours in there looking at their vast connection. Before Covid they were doing wine tastings in groups and would go into detail and teach you about new wines they had. Better than a random winery tasting and that is saying a lot coming from someone who grew up an hour from Napa CA. read more

Here's what I always tell my friends about this place. I say, "if you can think of a bottle of wine, they can find it for you". Huge selection, expert staff, and most importantly, the ability to get whatever you can think of somehow magically shipped there by the next morning. So you went to a restaurant and had a bottle of something and your friend wants to have it again but you can't find it? Call them and they'll get it, usually by tomorrow. I honestly don't know how they do this, but they've done it 3 out of 3 times when I made such requests. Absolutely outstanding. I actually won a bet with a friend once and he had to buy me a bottle because they had in stock something he thought no one would have. He called around looking and we just drove there and picked it up. Besides the amazing selection, incredible service and expert staff, they also may be having a random tasting when you walk in and you could very well end up spontaneously having a few glasses in the middle of the day. There may be a winemaker there on site autographing bottles, there may be a selection of cheeses for you to munch on. Need wine-related equipment? Openers? Special devices that allow you to recork or seal the rest up for tomorrow? They've got em. Chillers? Fancy gifts for mom? They've got em. I just can't think of any negative to bring up regarding this place. Wine drinkers of the city....if you haven't been here you're missing out. Get down there now. read more

Vintage Wine Shoppe is everything like Hop City but sells only wine only and requires a little more 'formal' than stumbling in with pajamas like I did. There's no dress code but standing in my PJs amongst businessmen stopping by to pick up something after work made me feel out of place. Fortunately, none of the staff makes you feel that way. You never ever sense they act like they know more than you. Even while one employee shares their favorite selection, another employee will chime in and strike up a conversation with you. I love how they also facilitate conversations between customers so you end up talking to 3 people at a time. Vintage Wine is located in a plaza that can clearly be seen on your drive down Hwy 280. It was a lovely discovery on my part amongst all the chain businesses established on this route. I also can't stress enough that this is one place a wine snob would reluctantly give a nod of respect as a result of their extensive wine selection, Auburn and Alabama paraphernalia, and twice weekly free wine tastings. The infrastructure of this place is gorgeous consisting of wine bottles stacked on wine bottles stacked on wine bottles. The walls are basically a library of wine bottles. I left with 2 bottles of respectable wine without breaking my wallet. The best part was the staff made made me excited to return for their future events. It helps they seem to remember you on every visit. read more

We can always find what we like here. They have an amazing selection and reasonable prices. The workers are always friendly and very helpful. read more

First time visiting this week and was very impressed. My company is doing a virtual wine tasting night for our customers and they had no trouble getting in what we needed. My coworkers in other states had trouble sourcing some of the wines but everything we asked about, they were able to get in quickly if it wasn't already in stock.Extremely helpful and friendly service! Was also impressed at the selection of non-wine items they had to make the perfect gift. read more

No issues of concern. Huge selection of reds and whites, very expensive (check out their wine cave... bottles for $500+!!) and modest, as well as a few discounts. There are various knick-knacks throughout the store like aprons, t-shirts, wine totes, etc. You won't find discounts on brands like Santa Margherita, but it's a fun place to go if you have a specific question about wine or want a specific type of wine. It's worth the visit and the owners/employees are genuinely nice. read more

This is a great wine store. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I used to work near the store and would attend the Friday tastings every week and I was never disappointed. I encourage anyone to stop by and they'll take good care of you. John Ware read more

This has become my go to wine store in Birmingham. They have frequent tastings, with as many as 20 wines to choose from at many tastings so you are able to discover new wines often. The best thing about the store is the customer service. Nobody takes care of you like Patty and her staff. They genuinely appreciate your business. Great deals to be had too! read more

Beautiful and vast selection of wines. Staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!

Patty and crew know their wine, and they're happy to help, whether you're new to wine or looking for something exotic.

By far the best wine prices in town and if that doesn't get you to come in, there extremely friendly and knowledgable staff will! Give them your price point and what you are eating and they will give you an excellent wine and you will walk away extremely satisfied. Will never buy wine anywhere else! read more

Nice store. Great selection. Everytime I go in there is an employee and/or owner sitting at the counter eating. Just really bugs me and is very rude. Where do you go to any business where people are sitting in the middle of the store eating. read more

Best selection of fine wines. Don't forget to see the cellar.

Really great little store if you're looking to discover something new! They have lots of gifts for the wine lover in your life too! The staff is always very very helpful and friendly. Make sure to grab a newsletter when you're there to see upcoming special events and tastings! Note they are not able to sell wine on Sunday as they are just inside Shelby county. This place is worth the visit! read more

I have been to wine stores all over the country, and nowhere will you find a better combination of selection, staff knowledge, and sincere "we're glad you are here" customer service. Patty and her staff are resources to both novices and experienced consumers. It seems like every time I go in there is a new, interesting tasting available, and the wine classes are fun, informative, and either free or nominally priced. Vintage is definitely, "Best in Class". read more
