My fiancé and I had a delightful experience at Wines and Wares. The staff is very knowledgeable about the products they sell. I shared a taste of some wine I made last year, which was a somewhat dry red muscadine and ask if they had something close to that. They did! It was on POINT! Thanks Joe and thank you for extending yourself for my artistic endeavor. read more

This is a great place! Tonight they had an Italian wine tasting.. like a moscato but just hint of sweet.. they give you opportunities to try new things and have a wide variety of beer, wine , ciders, meads etc.. the staff are very welcoming and friendly if you need help finding something they will find it or see if they can order it for you. There's a bar up front and one in back when tastings are going on. Lots of great gift ideas and things to pair with holiday meals! Worth a stop in to grab something for weekend night or something pair with meal.. read more

Great wine and beer selection. Knowledgeable and personable staff. Will definitely come back.

If you are looking for great selections of craft beers and wine in the Jacksonville area, this is the place to come! They have a lot to choose from. For the beers, they have a section where you can create your own six packs at a reasonable price. Also sold are six packs and bomber bottles. Wines are categorized by varietal.. section for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec/Syrah/Petite Syrah, Sparkling, Whites. This store is very well organized/clean, a section to sit and enjoy your wines, and the staff is ready to assist if you have any questions. They do have wine tastings on Friday and Saturday. Besides Wine and Beer, they do sell wine accessories, gift ideas (you can create your own basket) and chocolates. I was truly impressed and highly recommend you come here. read more

They have a great selection and the gentleman working was very knowledgeable and helpful when I asked for help selecting a wine.

This is the absolute best beer and wine bottle shop in all of Jacksonville, NC! Great selection, great prices, everything is easy to find, and their staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I'd been here once years ago, and being back in town for a week, of course I had to stop by again, this time with my wife. It was even better than I'd remembered. They had lots of great wines, all arranged by varietal, easy to find. Their beer selection included something for every level of beer geek and then some, including single serves for those who wanna create their own six pack. They also have beer and wine accessories and cool gift ideas as well as gourmet chocolates. Needless to say, my lady and I left with a few very nice beer and wine selections. Truly the best bottle shop in Jacksonville! A must visit for beer geeks and wine connoisseurs in the area. Stop by and get yourself some! read more

Great selection of wines and good prices. The store is well organised and feels like a winery store with a rustic feel.

Nicely organized space by price and type. Nice selection of wines from different wine areas some known some I didn't know. There was a beer area towards the back that I understand are from small brewers. If in the area or need something special I will be back. read more

I love this place. The only place near Jacksonville that has craft beer. And I'm talking a good selection. They can even special order beers for ya. They also sell wine. This is my go to spot for beer. read more

Love love love!! I love this store!! Neil is awesome and I used to come here all the time before we moved in 2008-09 and then we moved back Military. I was excited to see this gem was still here!! Whew inside you'll find all sorts of wines , beers and even little chocolates. Not only that all sorts of barware too! If you are not from the area and you are looking for beer or even wine trust me you'll find it here! This is my go too for beers etc that are impossible in the regular stores. Ciders from different countries and that also applies to beers! Best part is that if you are having a dinner , cookout etc you can always stop by as you'll find some already cold and waiting to take home. If they don't have something all you have to do is ask and they'll see if they can get it for you. I wanted some Magners cider when we got back here and Neil made sure he ordered some and I was so excited! I can't even begin to tell you how awesome this little gem is so go check it out for yourself you'll see!! read more

LOVE THIS STORE! Great selection of wines, and the staff know their stuff. Everyone we've talked to there has been exceptionally friendly, and will definitely take their time to help you if you have any questions. Be sure to check out the tastings on Friday/Saturday. I cannot wait for them to open up the "bar" area to really have a chance to relax with a nice glass of wine (or two). Don't forget the case discount! read more

100% echo the reviews below (especially "thank God Jacksonville has this store")! There's a reason they have so many 5 star reviews. The staff are friendly without being in your space and when we have asked for tips they have nailed it every time. Don't be afraid to get a bit adventurous - while some of what they carry is unique I haven't been disappointed yet. A+ on the single can/bottle selection for those of us who want to try a wide variety of flavors without committing our wallets/livers to a rough night. read more

Great selection and staff! They have always helped us find something delicious to try- beer and wine tastings on Fri & Sat 4-7

Thank god Jacksonville has this store! Not a large building but good selection of wines and craft beers. They also do wine pairings and tastings and have excellent staff and customer service so if you have any questions or are looking for recommendations you are in capable hands. read more

I had a little trouble finding the place as I live out of town but once I found it, I was happy. The guy running the place was pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. Plus they had some wine I've been unable to find elsewhere. I'll go back. read more

Incredible selection of craft beers on par or better than any place I've ever been. Friendly, knowledgable staff who appreciates their customers. Having recently moved from the D.C. area, I've been searching for a high end beer seller, and Wines & Wares definitely delivers. Deserves 10 stars! read more

Without a doubt the best place to get great bottles of wine and craft beer. The staff is friendly and willing to help you find just what your looking for. read more

I. LOVE. THIS. WINE SHOP! Seriously, it's my favorite place in Jacksonville. Not just because I am a wino, but because the staff is hilarious and friendly, the selection is amazing and it's just a cute store. I stop in here at least once a week to get a bottle of wine. For a wine snob like myself, this is the only place you should consider even getting your wine at. There is also an amazing beer section too. If you're looking for some cheap Miller Light, go to Food Lion or WalMart, this place only carries the specialty beers that you probably have never heard of but need to try. When the rare occasion that I'm in a beer mood happens, I still only come here to get one. As far as budget goes, don't let the fact that it's a fancy little wine store scare you off, they have something for you whatever your budget is. They are always doing tastings and pairings so you should stop in to try out the new beers and wines they are always bringing in. For example it was recently a Maple Honey Bacon ale. Yes, please. read more

This place is excellent. My husband and I always want to try new beers and the staff is always there to give us recommendations. We love making our own six-packs and sharing beers. Plus, if you bring your previous receipt to your next visit they'll give you a discount! Definitely the best place to go for quality brews. read more

We loved this place!! I didn't have any idea what I was looking for. Barbara who worked there was so awesome that I now have two new favorite wines!! Unfortunately running low already, guess we will be back sooner than we thought!!! read more

Love this place! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. If they dont have the specific beer or wine you are looking for, they can look it up and see if the company will ship to them. Or if they happen to be out of something, they will call you when they get more in. Huge selection of craft beers and wine. And if you bring your reciept back from your previous purchase, you'll get 10% off! Very clean and welcoming. Recommend everyone to try this place out! read more

This place is awesome. They have a great selection of wines and beers. In fact I asked if they could potentially get some more beers from a specific brewery in Asheville that they didn't carry. They took the time to research and called me the next day informing me. I'll be back again and again. read more

Quiet, private and relaxing. New sitting area where you can order beer and wine by the glass, and we have it all to ourselves. Please do not come here. That way it will be our private hang out. read more

This is the place to go if you're looking for your "specific" wine or microbrew! They have it!! And if for some crazy reason they don't, they'll get it for you!! The staff is awesome and super helpful. Go on Saturdays at 4pm for a FREE wine tasting!! :) LOVE IT! read more

A- mazing!!! I stop by on my way home and pick my hubby up a mix and match selection now and then. I believe the owner is the one who helps me each time. As I don't drink, I have no clue what to get. He is SO nice and SO helpful. Lovvveeee!!!! And so does my husband. :) read more

this store is awesome, first time there and had a great time. The guy working there knew a lot about wine and helped me pick out a good Valentine gift basket. will be going back there more often read more

Great place to get wine! They have a wide selection and the owner, Joe, is so helpful and amazing. They even carry my personal favorite wine from back home miles away! Love this place. read more

I was very excited to find a great place to purchase craft beers here in Jacksonville. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Their beer selection was pretty good as well. They even had a beer from New York that I've had to special order from beer stores in Raleigh/Apex area. All in all a great experience and my husband and I will be back. read more

Great selection! The staff is very knowledgable and happy to help! They also carry some brands that can be hard to find.

Wines & Wares has one of the best selections of wine in the Jacksonville area! Wines are separated in the store by the grape used and wine type. The wines available range from popular brands to select wineries. If wine is not necessarily your forte, Wines & Wares also has specialty bottled beers and ciders available for purchase by the bottle or pack. The store is clean, well labeled, organized, and has friendly staff who are able to give you pointers on pairing, suggested breathe time for a heavy Cab Franc, and specialty craft beer brews. Wines & Wares offers specialty events and dinners as well! We will definitely be returning for a bottle before our next date night! read more

Great place to find wines that you can't get anywhere here. Only bad thing is that it is kinda pricey, other than that it's the best wine place I have stumbled across so far! read more

While I don't drink beer, my husband does and this place has a lot of great craft beers. They even helped me locate my husband's favorite beer, which we found out is only sold in ONE place in all of North Carolina. Amazing staff, great customer service. read more

They have a great selection of beers and wines here! I was a little disappointed however that the prices seemed a bit high. I'm sure my husband and I will return as we are always trying new beers when possible and do not really care how much they cost if we are getting what we want. Just to put the price difference in perspective I got a bomber of ballast points Wahoo wheat as we just came from San Diego and it is my favorite, we were paying 4.50 at the brewery and slightly less than that purchasing it on base in San Diego and here it cost 6.90! read more

My GF and I didn't know much about wine and went in with a makeshift list of wines we liked and didn't like. They were friendly, helpful and educational. When explaining why we might like one wine over another we didn't feel talked down to or anything. We are now regular customers and this is one of our favorite businesses in town. read more

They were open on Xmas eve until 10pm and for that I love them. The staff was super friendly.

Little pricey but u do pay for the convince and they have wines and beers that I never see anywhere else!! They personally ordered a wine that I rly like!! read more

What a gem! The staff was warm and knowledgeable. The wine selection superb. Make sure to check this place out. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more
