There are a lot of places to buy Wine and spirits here in the Villages. I like great service, friendly faces, good prices, and even delivery. Who is your favorite considering what I've mentioned?

We buy our wine from Aldi's.

Other than friendly when ringing up our order that is about it. We do enjoy their moscatos and our daughter likes their reds.

Understand Total Wine will be opening here soon but not very familiar with the chain.

We would love to buy more from Trader Joes but apparently closest store is over an hour away.

I'll buy spirits it a Walgreens, Publix or ABC...they're usually all the same price

but when it comes to wines, we order the specific wines that we enjoy online from: 'wine.com' and 'Gambino Winery' in Sicily... occasionally we'll order from 'getwinesonline.com' if wine.com doesn't carry a specific vintage that we're looking for.

the wine arrives quickly via UPS or FedEx

Now when "Total Wine" finally opens near TV we'll shop there for wines (and the spirits) as they offer a nice variety, and we'll still order from Wine.com and Gambino

The best thing to do is to develop a taste for wine like I have. The cheaper the better.

Once in a while we go big & go for a $12 bottle.

Default Liquor stores

ABC has a very good selection of quality wines. I prefer Total Wine which will be opening on 441 in Lady Lake. Excellent wine, beer and spirit selections.

Mich Ultra and Truly hard seltzer from either Publix or Winn Dixie works for me.

Willing to bet alcohol sales around here are up substantially. We have never had such a full wine rack before.
