Typical Total Wine, but with an added snob layer. Not really sure why; most likely because it is considered "Meyers Park" area. The people that work here were pretty nice, but the people shopping are snobby. If it rained in the store, there would be many drowning deaths. The selection is good, typical of any Total Wine in Charlotte. Duckworth’s is close by for some draft beer if you are interested.

This Total Wine location is similar to others I’ve visited. However, this location has a better selection of hard to find brews like Founder’s Breakfast Stout. One con would be no growler station that I’ve seen but I was so busy finding rare gems I may have overlooked. Possibly the best thing about this location is it is right beside the best bar I’ve ever been to Duckworth’s.

Typical Total Wine. Large selection. Nothing really rare, but a large selection with lots of singles. Couple of brews I have not seen before. Good place to pick up a mixed sixer.

More upscale than most Total Wine locations, but still with the typical layout. Seems like the selection of singles is a little lighter than other locations. They do have a little cafe and some taps, though I’m not sure how many. Customer service bordered on surly.

This is a pretty typical Total Wine: a giant warehouse with lots of beer. They actually had less beer than I was expecting, they seemed to stock almost everything available rather than stocking each and every beer possible. There were some beers available that I have never before seen in the southeast: Flying Fish and some other random New England beers. Prices are good, but not particularly lower than Brawley’s which is very close by. This would be an alright stop, but it would be better to just go to Brawley’s which has a better rotation of beers and certainly superior beer knowledge.

Stopped by for the first time the other day. The place is definately geared more toward wine, but that is expected given the name. They seem to have a fairly decent selection of the more mainstream craft beers. Not the best place if you are looking for rare beers or one offs. The presentation of the beer is well maintained, seems to be sorted by country, and the prices are clearly visible. I like the fact that you can build mixed sixers. The pricing is pretty well on par with most other establishments in the area.

Nothing special here. Brawley’s is across the street, so I’d always choose Brawley’s.

Why give them your money if you can go to vintners or brawleys and get some true beer expert help.

For the record when you have seen one of these you have seen them all from an aesthetic stand point. However this is not a bad thing. They are clean and well organized. The staff is always at least minimally knowledgeable on most alcohol related questions and getting boxes and carts is easy. The selection is always good. They always have lots of beers. However most of the beers are easy to find just not in one place. This store had a slightly better than average selection for a Total Wine. So, the selection was very good. I am never disappointed when I go into one of these store because I always know they have singles and the prices will be reasonable. This is a great place to buy anything alcohol related.

Mostly have readily available micro, large micro and macro brews. Guarantee they will have something good, just not much hard to find. At least they do the make your own size pack at a slight discount. Staff has always been willing enough to help. For the real beer conisuer though, you won’t need much help.
