Ours comes from wineries, when release dates allow. Everyday wine can be A Sterling cab.
We have a wine system that allows us to keep 4 bottles of wine for months after open. But they never last that long |

If you;re looking for the equivalent of Trader Joe's 2 Buck Chuck, really anyplace will do. You'll see jug wines and BOGOs for ten bucks all over the place. I find ABC marginally better, but the staff not very friendly or helpful (speaking of the one on 466A Tradewinds). I've shopped a small independent store .. Kindred Spirits.. but I must emphasize small.
Absent any small specialty store that can obtain hard to find wines and spirits, I am a proponent of Total Wine and look forward to their opening on 441/27. I shopped Total Wine extensively in Atlanta, and have taken an easy ride to the Millenial Mall in Orlando twice so far (it;s right around the corner from Costco, so I kill two birds with one stone (drive)). They have great selections of domestic, French and italian Wines, and some decent ones from South America, Spain and other countries as well. Regarding spirits, the staff is knowledgeable and the selection much better than the above locals. A wide range of price points for bourbons, tequilas, vodka and scotch .. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but they have a long aisle dedicated to craft beers, with many available in quantities of one .. I think it will do well here. |

Since the time Total Wines was highly recommended to me by several people, I occasionally buy online and go pick up at Daytona Beach. It is an amazing store and I usually end up walking out with more than I ordered. I am looking forward to them opening up here. But I also love the local ABC liquors. They have been consistently helpful throughout the 15 years we have been here, both in recommending wines they thought we might like, and getting us wines they didn’t have in stock right now. I will continue to support both stores.

Abc
I feel they have the whitest selection of beer and wine and the best prices.
Walmart would be your next option. I think Publix pricing is high |

Total Wine is a great store once it opens, huge selection, samplings and excellent prices. For hard liquor hard to beat Sams liquor store and the wine selection inside the main store is very good !

In NY (Queens), the local liquor store lobby put the kibosh on a Total Wines store that was planning on opening in an empty Toys R Us store location.
Lots of people were looking forward to Total Wines coming in for the variety and pricing, but the liquor stores raised a stink and the politicians who had originally approved of it turned around and squashed it. Florida is a bit different, of course, with wine sold in grocery stores. That doesn't happen in NY. As a matter of fact, even the Total Wines store that was hoping to open couldn't sell beer and wine in the same location. A separate store (and license) would have been needed for the beer. |

can't wait for Total Wine to open. I currently buy different wines at different stores, Winn Dixie and Sam's mostly.

Sam's has a limited, but reasonably priced, selection of wines and beer. Same for their liqour store. We sometimes shop ABC at both locations as one carries different wines from the other. Our favorite wine store is total wine where they have a fantastic selection wines. However, that currently requires a trip to Orlando's Millinean Mall area. It is relatively easy to get to off the turnpike and I-4. Soon we'll have our own store over by Miller Ale and we can't wait. For example, I love Angeline Pinot Noir & Cabernet which is are fantastic California wines that you can only find at Total Wine.

One of the highest rated wine clubs (delivers by FEDEX) is First Leaf - Firstleaf.com. I've been very happy with their selection. You rate your wines so that they can modify your next shipment to suit.
