Boston Wine Exchange

It’s floor to ceiling wines here of all shapes, sizes and kinds, literally over a thousand bottles. You’re certain to find whatever you are looking for here. They have beer and hard liquors in the back and mixers and cordials as well. An assortment of cheeses, meats, and chocolates make this a good one stop shop if you’re gift hunting in the area, as well or need some add ons for your bottle.

I highly recommend this shop. It has a great selection of… everything.
This is my goto place for beer when I run an event. They have a wide selection of local brewers. They also carry cans of my favorite brands, including the baxter pack.
I have attended some of their tastings and always learn a thing or two about wine, hard liqour, and the local distilleries/​brewwers.

Just went in here looking for something specific and the guy working Justin was very nice and knowledgable. Their selection was awesome and I’ll definitely be back here.

Boston wine exchange is the worst liquor store I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. The staff is rude and offensive. The selection is uninspired at best. Prices are unreasonable also. While I was attempting to make my decision from their limited options, I was informed that they would be closing at 9 pm — even though there was still 7 minutes to spare. I am disgusted by the superior attitude and downright laziness and disrespect I encountered from the personnel. Don’t waste your money at this terrible establishment.

The more I go there, the more books and crannies I find new craft beers. Location is great (across the road from my office), and they have great hours compared to most places in the financial district, making it easy to grab a six pack or bottle of wine on your way home after a long day at the office. The employees are really friendly and very knowledge about wine and beer. A real hidden gem!

Great liquor store which I only discovered via a Unilocal search (of course). Even though I stay nearby multiple times a year I probably never would have discovered it otherwise. I rushed in just before closing to get a few bottles to bring for Easter dinner. Usually arriving just before closing results in grouchy service, or worse, the doors closed because they want to go home. Instead, I was greeted warmly and got great service – even suggested a bottle on sale. Since I didn’t want to wear out my welcome I didn’t browse too much, but their prices seemed reasonable and looked to be a respectable selection. Will definitely come back when I’m in town.

This place is awesome. The beer selection is amazing, and the prices are comparable to liquor stores outside the city, which was surprising. More importantly — I like to get recommendations for new beers, from people who know beer. So, I asked for someone to make some suggestions, and one of the employees was eager to help, and gave me a rundown of all the beers I might like, based on what I told him I typically drink. I just left with a couple of bottles he recommended, so I don’t know how they are just yet, and I would have purchased more if I didn’t have to lug my stash back to the office and onto the commuter rail, but I will be back!

Super overpriced, coupled with unfriendly staff. I used to go here at least once a week, but now go out of my way to boycott his place. When asking the staff questions, I noticed that they will provide me answers, but in a defensive and arrogant way. They have a great beer and wine selection, but I would rather support other local liquor stores that provide you friendly service and can actually carry on enjoyable conversations.

The wine tasting stations are a great compliment to this eclectic boutique wine store. Craft beers, liquor selection and a limited assortment of wines. I was in and bought one of the wines at the free tasting station. It was good.
Many of the wines were new, I’d have to come back to know which taste the buyer prefers. I also didn’t speak to the staff for suggestions.
The gentlemen at the free wine tasting station described the wines. Wine tasting is fascinating. Every one has a different description of what they taste on their palette and expectations. He said sweet, I thought smooth. He said hardy but I tasted more tannins and earthiness. Obviously the smoother reds are my preference and bolder hardier Reds were his. It’s all in the interpretation of meaning when picking a wine store and working with staff to find a new wine.
They also have wine tasting stations with machine operated calculated pours. You pay by credit card. It’s fun, I’ve tried it before but not here so I can’t tell you if the pour is worth the price. Next time!
It’s a great place to grab something on the way home of for a local gathering.
Cheers to good wine stores!

I’m staying nearby and wandered in last night, asking the guy behind the counter about local ciders. We talked a while about the sort of ciders I did and didn’t like, and he pointed me to three excellent options. I feel like I paid a bit more than I should have for the drinks, but the premium advice justified the cost.

so your telling me…
I can walk across the street from my job, peruse a seriously good beer selection (local crafts, hard to find Belgians, IPA’s, etc.), stock up on some high end snacks, maybe sneak in a taste of a new wine via their wine tasting machine and be back in my office in less than 15 minutes?
done.
they also offer delivery, have a great staff (that isn’t hounding you over every bottle or shelf you look at) and located only a few blocks from DTX
done, done and done.

Great wine shop! I really like that they have a great selection of affordable to higher priced wines. Several that I have not found elsewhere.
Great beer selection too — and they knew just where to direct me for gluten free beer/​cider options. Really helpful and friendly. The only thing that could make it better is an even larger wine selection.

There’s a reasonably priced, next level packie in DTX, and BWX be thy name.
Wall-​to-​wall bottles, featuring specialty bourbons, couture apertifs and liqueurs, craft beers and maaaaaybe a bottle of wine or two (ok, there’s a entire room dedicated), Boston Wine Exchange is definitely a one-​stop-​fits-​all type of booze barn.
Do they take advantage of prime (ish) real estate to charge an arm and a leg for Blanton’s, Bulleitt or Branca (of the Fernet clan)? No, no they do not. And if you go waltzing in searching for a tough to find bottle of Rombauer they don’t currently carry, they’ll order it for your grape hole. Case discounts? That too.
These guys are hip to the scene, too, throwing down artisan jerky, cheeses, cured meats and pickles for your bar snack repertoire. Kudos for having a whole wall dedicated to trendy cordials and bitter backbones for modern mixologists. I pulled four bottles to toy with, none of which broke the $ 15 mark. Because that’s how they Aperol.
Get up inside them.

Boston Wine Exchange is awesome! They have everything from low-​end to high-​end beer and wine. They offer delivery, which is even better when you have to order a bunch of alcohol for the office.
When doing a delivery, they typically ask for 24 hours in advance and I was unaware of this, so I did 2 – 3 hours in advance and they were very accommodating and I was so happy they were able to help me out!
Thank you!

Amazing craft beer selections and interesting spirits. What sealed the deal for me was that we found Andechs beer (Kloster Andechs from Munich) here and have never seen it in the U.S. We ended up buying a variety of different beers. It was worth the trip to Boston just for BWE!

So I was visiting Boston for a few days and I wanted to bring back some east coast beer. Specifically, I wanted some Night Shift… plus whatever was available and good. Unfortunately, I my schedule was rather tight and I didn’t have time to grab some bottles at the brewery.
Luckily, I was in the area with 20 minutes to kill so I checked Unilocal and noticed that Boston Wine Exchange had a selection of craft beer. I hurried over in hopes of grabbing snagging a few bottles.
The selection was rather respectable. They didn’t have anymore warlock (no surprise there) but I did grab several bottles from Night Shift as well as some glassware!
Employees were rather nice and helped me make some selections since I was unfamiliar with some of the breweries. Thanks for all the help, btw!
Anyway, I was very pleased with BWX and I look forward to returning on my next trip to Boston.

Came in here to grab a chianti on my way home, and was really impressed with the beer selection! I wish I had more time to browse. I was able to get a nice unoaked chianti for about $ 9 which is not bad at all for this area. I saw behind the counter they carry a lot of local liquor brands as well, which I adore. Many others expressed employees jumping to help them but although several employees were around, no one approached me. I just happened to find what I was looking for right off the bat. I will have to come back and check out some more options.

My experience here was totally disappointing. I was in there for over 15 minutes just wandering around and was never greeted by any of the 4 staff working there. I’m pretty sure eye contact was adverted at least twice. The craft beer selection looked good and I was definitely in the market for a pretty decently priced bottle of wine but I will never give this place a single dime of my money.
CORRECTION: I was warmly greeted by a liquor rep. She was the only one interested in gaining my business.

If you are working downtown, and you get one of those days where you just cant seem to get it right, this is the place that will instantly brighten your day on your way home…
I’m a beer guy, and they have real goo selection of stuff in here. From Alagash, to PBR, to Laguantis to Grolsh… for christ sakes, GROLSH! I think you can only buy that stuff in like 6 bars in Boston, and one recently went under… Overall, they have an excellent selection of beer, and more surprisingly about this place, is that it doesn’t cost you a small fortune for it either.
That alone, I think is the best part about this place. I mean, they aren’t catering towards the residential folks at all, b/​c literally nobody lives in the financial district, and its location is prime time downtown. I just assume its all business folks that come in for beers for the office or people heading home sort of thing, so I don’t know how they aren’t price gouging — but they don’t, which is amazing. I can’t comment on the wine, but from what it looks like, they have a whole ton of stuff. They even have some sort of whine and cheese thing off to the side in the other side of the store.
Been here a few time, will return as it is the «go to» when you are downtown.

Bless me Unilocal,for I have sinned. It’s been over a month since my last review. I offer this one as penance and promise to do better in the future. I can be good, I swear!
BWX is amazing, especially given the fun-​starved wasteland that is the Financial District. Every time my office hosts happy hour I volunteer to pick up the drinks so I can peruse the well-​stocked shelves and dally over lager vs. IPA.
The high-​end snack selection is excellent as well. They have these delicious tomato-​infused crackers my coworkers are obsessed with, and the pre-​sliced prosciutto and salami go perfectly with their cheeses. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to assist with recommendations should you need some gentle steering.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my Thirsty Thursday errands. Stay classy, BWX.
