Total Wine & More

I’m promise I’m not going to wiiiinnneeeeeee about it. I will say this place has a great selection of wines. I also noticed they had a small walk in humidor that of course the guys had to check out. The cigar selection was a 3 star. The boys really enjoy their cigars and we drive to Keller just for cigars. The samples offered every few aisles was a nice treat. ;) I noticed they have wine and beer tastings offered on certain days. I enjoy tastings. We definitely will be back when in the area.

I would have to correctly guess that I have been to every liquor store in the 817, a feat I do not state with absolute certainty, although my voice does not shake, like a McDonalds at 3AM. If there is anyone in this general area who would be the end-​all Absolut (vodka pun) of liquor store knowledge he would surely tell you I’m pretty good at this whole thing too. I’ve done my research.
The first thing you notice upon arrival is a plethora of wine. As someone tryna turn up I ain’t got no time for that, but I appreciate the fleeting feeling of sophistication as I make my way to the strong water located in the back. Your eyes will become engulfed within the aisles of ornate wooden cabinetry that I assume to be mahogany, West Indian mahogany if I had to guess, although I admit my knowledge of non-​NW US wood selections is lacking at best. Unique to this liquor store is the fact that Total Wine realizes humans are not cold blooded and are not adapted to exist in subarctic conditions. Ambient temperature is ideal for a Texas establishment.
Selection of whiskey is top notch (RIP Pimp C) and arranged in a logical manner to help those who do their research before heading to the store. As a person who loves things that everyone hates (not like hipsters though) I appreciate the fact that there is a separate section specifically for Rye Whiskey. It’s lit. The overwhelming majority of the liquor I buy is seen to be more expensive at other establishments with employees much less accommodating who feel the need to follow me around the store. Not sure if this is due to stereotypes or my Tom Ford cologne; probably both.
I will admit my ignorance in regards to the white liquors, although my plethora of female friends who I do not love assure me that the selection is adequate and the prices very reasonable. I take this observation with a grain of salt because these girls ain’t loyal.
Selection of beer is above average, with the main contenders being present in exceptional variety, much to the ire of the aforementioned hipsters who prefer regional microbrew that doesn’t exist. The grand majority of the beer is not refrigerated, but you should plan ahead anyway. You’re an adult.
I’m always mildly inconvenienced by the fact that the expensive cognacs are locked up and require me to actually talk to another human being to acquire, but this inconvenience is very mild considering the fact that youngins really outchea wylin. I’ll allow it.
A cigar room is located in the corner across from the entrance and checkout, unfortunately I have no funds to spend on such extravagant expenditures because all my gars get gutted.
I fully appreciate the fact that they are aware of their location in the hierarchy of liquor stores. While they do not have bars on the windows, the glass does not appear to be bulletproof, and the selection of 40s is lacking, they are situated next to a Burlington Coat Factory that I assume is a portal to another dimension or a housing facility for secret Illuminati meetings because I’ve never heard of anyone ever going there; but I digress. I also appreciate the fact that they don’t feel the need to interview everyone one of my Benjamins with a pen and light when I buy the previously mentioned expensive cognac, as if I didn’t pull up in a Porsche, and will not pull off in a Wraith.
They always have an adequate number of cashiers (pay attention Wal-​Mart) and the only time the wait has been unacceptable was when a broke boy was in front of me wondering why his card wouldn’t go through when he «just got paid». Go be lame somewhere else.
Overall, this is a very well run establishment that realizes you ain’t gotta tax to double up, with encyclopedia minded employees who understand they don’t have to hover over customers as they walked around indecisively musing over the nectar of the Gods.

Very knowledgeable and helpful, but not overbearing staff. Huge selection of wine, beer, and alcohol. Barware, gift shop, olives, nuts, etc… Everything you need to make a fantastic cocktail, have a wine tasting; you can even attend a tasting if you like! :)

Really upset to say because I really did like this place before I went a month ago.
My boyfriend and I ran an errand for my mom to get some wine! I told her all about total wine and how great it is and left to go and get the alcohol.
As soon as I got there there was a crowd coming in with me and an older woman looks at my boyfriend and I and frowns. I needed to know where this alcohol is and proceeded to ask her and she cuts me off saying «Where is your ID?!» I pulled it out and showed her and then she looks at my boyfriend and asks him to show his ID. He didn’t have his so she told us we both had to leave because he looked like he could be my baby brother! Excuse me? This was my boyfriend, and that comment was not necessary. So she goes to the automatic doors and YANKS them open and tells us to leave. It was SOO humiliating I was infuriated.
My boyfriend got his ID and we went back to get the alcohol. There wasn’t a place for a while so that’s why I went back here to get it. I walk in and she’s no where in sight and I ask a man where this alcohol is. He shows us and we walk to it. A man comes over to us and asks us for our ID and says I’m sure you know what I’m here for! So we show him and try not to be bothered by it. Then he says next time bring your ID and we won’t have to go through this problem. We just hold our tongue and try to just get out the store!
Then when we get to the counter they ask for both of our ID’s again and what’s crazy is she only scanned his ID. Acting like he would bring in a fake ID she only checks HIS to see if it’s fake. Then a woman manager comes over and checks it AGAIN. And at that point I said «I will definitely be talking to HR about this»
I am really upset because there were young people of other races coming in the store just as we were and as friendly as I was she as well as other associates decided to humiliate us. The way she yanked the door open was not necessary. I really used to like this place but I will never be back if they don’t appreciate the service of ALL RACES!

I cant say enough good about this place! I had originally scheduled a wine tasting at Spec’s to make my selection for my wedding… but that went horribly wrong and i cancelled at the last minute due to poor customer service. So with an hours notice total wine was able to accommodate me and 4 others for our wine tasting. They selected wine in our price range, had it chilled, and were ready for us upon arrival. We worked with Kat, WOW! She was so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, she had the best attitude! She taught us how to properly taste and enjoy the wine and accommodated each request we had. We tasted a great variety and were never pushed to purchase something outside our price range. We ended up purchasing about 85 bottles of wine plus 4 kegs for our wedding once all was said and done. I highly suggest using Total Wine for any needs especially big events!

I mostly come here for craft beer and they’ve got a good selection, more stuff to pick from than almost any other place in Fort Worth. The store is beautiful, well air-​conditioned, and best of all it feels spotlessly clean, unlike that traditional icky feel so many liquor stores have. I feel like they might go a little too heavy on Texas/​Local brewers at the expense of some other great US breweries not being represented. I find it really annoying that they’ve got about 15 different brews from Real Ale and enough stock of each to take up an entire endcap, but many other breweries are MIA. The employees are all super friendly and willing to help. Unfortunately every single time someone’s asked me if I needed help finding anything in the beer section, I’ve told them a beer that I found online in the store inventory, they look it up on the computer, and then were completely unable to help me find it. This has happened on five separate occasions, I’m not sure why people are always offering help with beer if they don’t know the beer section, plus the inventory computer is just flat wrong a lot of the time. Despite these minor issues, it’s still by far my favorite place in town for beer runs.

cheers up!
I mean great selection on all their products; wine, alcohol, cigars and beers. I bit pricey but they do have sales and/​or deals that make me keep coming back and trying others than my usual. lol
One of the things that’s great is making your own 6 pack, beers from here Texas, Mexico, Australia, Sweden, and other places. also the specialty alcohol bottles. They also keep the mini bottles like you find in airplanes. You just need to experience it.

This place reminds me of Specs in Houston except there’s more wine. Everytime I come here I’m surprised at the variety of items here. You’ve got your wine of course but you also have your scotch, bourbon, tequila, vodka. Make your 6 pack of craft beer. You name it, they’ve got it. You want a only a pint? There’s a whole back shelf with pints and small bottles. Not hidden behind the register where you can’t see (looking at you Specs) You want the big girl tequila bottle? They have that too.
I have been for about 3 of their wine and beer tasting classes. Awesome! If you get the opportunity to attend one of their classes, definitely worth the 10 – 20 bucks. Very informative and always great snacks to go along with it. Did I mention they have an actual classroom in the back? Set up like a kind of bar for their classes. Check their website for the tasting classes. Specs is right across the street from me but I go out of my way to come here. Gets no better than this

I had my first experience at Total Wine over the weekend and I know where I’m getting my alcohol from now on! It’s just like a Specs or Goody Goody but a little better. Huge selection. Nice employees. I even saw an area where I think they have wine tastings or some classes? I’m not sure what they do in that room but it looks interesting.

Great selection, but poor customer service. Had to hunt down an employee willing to help. I pointed out to the manager that some of their signage was wrong. He stated «I can’t do anything about it, that is decided at corporate» and «maybe the supplier changed it at canning». There was no effort to make me feel comfortable that I could trust their advertising. I left, the sign stayed. Picture posted.

Wow, an amazing selection of wines! The prices were reasonable and the employees were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We came in looking for ingredients to make sangria but didn’t have our recipe and one of the employees found a recipe, printed it out and helped us find all the wines we needed. We were also looking for a variety of different wines that we had not tried before and they helped us find some good ones in the price range we wanted.
PLEASE open a store in the Houston/​Sugar Land area!!!

TOTAL disappointment… Whiskey selection has dropped off, no select Bourbons in their case, wanted to but multiple of a beer and was only allowed a single 12 oz bottle because ‘there’s not much to sell’- what happened to first come? Apparently my money is no longer good here, which is exceptionally sad as I regularly recommend ppl here from my work and but a lot of wine monthly here. Time to look elsewhere, poor service– even got the shoulder shrug that there was nothing they could do.

Can you say kid in a candy store? Ok maybe a wino in a liquor store. Although this is a liquor store it’s not like any other one I’ve been to. Total Wine is more of an experience.
Total Wine is not the traditional liquor store with just straight white metal rows of booze. The shelves are more like dark wood cabinetry giving the place a classy atmosphere.
They have several areas for samples from wine, liquor, or beer. We’ve tasted some great products there and have bought many of them.
Now the important part, the prices. They are the lowest cost of the stores I’ve checked prices on. For liquor, my favorite 12yo Scotch Whisky their price $ 29.99 vs. $ 41.57 at two local chains in the area. Just for that one bottle that’s $ 11.58 per bottle savings. I’ve checked the prices on several other bottles and they are in the same price savings.
As for wine, I’m a firm believer that a bottle of wine should not cost more than $ 10. They have a huge select of wines from all over the world in my price range but if you want the higher dollar stuff they have that too.
The selections are HUGE. From Wine to Scotch you have more choices than you can imagine.
Oh and I forgot to mention the beers. You just gotta see for yourself.

Fantastic selection. Great staff. Great prices. Sooooo muuuuuuch wiiiiine!!!
It’s basically my favorite place in Fort Worth.

Wow! wine and beer overload– that’s a good thing though! I have never been in store with such a large selection of wine! I thought Goody Goody was great until I visited Total Wine. The prices were great as well as the samples that were around each corner.
I have found a new favorite beverage stop!
Oh, and it looks like there is wine bar in the back of the store. I just peeked my head in and saw that it looked really nice and clean.

Even though this location and liquor spot is the one that I primary go to for convenience I’m NOT sold on their varieties and prices.
Being a big and I mean big connoisseur of Moscato they have a great selection of the many kinds of whites and reds. And the ultimate convenience is the monthly sampling stations.
Signup for their newsletter to be in-​the-​know of all the good promotions and in-​store events. Remember to always drank and act your responsible age. Cheers!

My new go-​to spot for beer, wine, liquor AND cigars! Total Wine has for some time been a victim in my eyes of its name and signage. The Hulen Street location does not face the street, so all I have seen while passing it was the «Total Wine» name and a grape bunch logo. I had assumed the store was a wine boutique, and pretty much put it out of my mind. Then an associate at work who overheard me criticizing my assistant’s taste in beer («Really? Would you drink Coors Light if it had no alcohol? Just because it tastes good??») suggested I give them a try. I did, and now there is no looking back.
First off, well-​stocked walk-​in humidor with cigars priced about 3 $ below going rates per-​cigar. Saves me an extra trip to the cigar store AND saves me money! A beer section that rivals any store I have been to. Liquor at cut rate prices. And a wine selection second to none. It was hard for me to see any downside on my first visit. They also sell mixers, craft sodas, bar glassware, you name it — and all at amazing prices! And their staff were both eager and knowledgeable, and made some excellent recommendations for me.
So don’t make my mistake and pass this store buy thinking they are some one-​trick pony. Drop in to Total Wine and get some great drinks at some great prices!

I like any place that I walk in and they hand me a beer! Free sample of one of the summer ales I was wanting to try started off my first trip to Total Wine right. Everyone was friendly, and I had more than one person ask if I needed help, so that was nice. They had a huge selection, but I was looking for a particular thing. Though I was a little late in the season I wanted to try the Woodchuck seasonal spring hard cider. I was thinking a «wine» place probably wouldn’t have it, but I hadn’t found it at any of the other liquor stores nearby so I thought might as well look. The store is well organized and well lit. In just a quick once around I found the cider! I was happy as I picked it up, until I saw the summer version next to it! Man, if only I could try them both! …Then I looked up! SINGLES, and with a handy «make your own six pack» carrier. Yes, this I like. I got to try not only the spring and summer hard ciders but some of the seasonal beers too boot. Awesome.

Wine out the wazoo. I was overwhelmed by the choices! But I came in looking for something specific and hard to find — they had it. Well enough on the selection of liquor and craft beer. A nice guy in the vodka isle showed me the new Esmé vodka line they are peddling. With some new liquor stores popping up closer to my home I think I’ll just be going here for specialty wine requests.

Wow!!! this is a great store. I would call it a upscale liquor store. A very large wine selection which I love. The store has a wide variety of beer, and liquor as will.
The day we went they had tasting. The staff are very helpful and willing to give suggestions. Check out Total Wine. We stayed almost 2 hours.
