Green’s Discount Beer & Wine

I have to admit Green’s has never been my favorite place to buy liquor. I have yet to go there and anyone was nice or helpful to me. Well yesterday was no exception. I did not want to travel to Total Wine and stopped here, I wish I had gone to Total.
The item that I purchased was about $ 2.50 more than the Total Wine price.

Green’s is a good place to check out if you are in the mood to peruse their large selection of beer, wine, and spirits. I don’t really know how «discount» it is, especially if paying by credit card, but you might be hard-​pressed not to find something you like here.
In the tradition of places in this state that sell beer, wine, and liquor, the liquor is partitioned into its own section. The organization is a little strange and bottles can get a little hard to find on both sides. Beware of the mark-​up for using a card; however (at least on the beer & wine side), you can get the cash price when using debit, which is nice. I don’t really know if the cash prices are that much cheaper than the ABC, but they certainly have a bigger selection than other ABCs I’ve stopped at.
On the beer and wine side, they do carry some rare beers and wine, which is cool. I’ve been able to find some rare imports that I cannot find everywhere. Overall, I give this place 3.5 stars.

Came here cause I was bored and I wanted to see if there was anything that I can’t get back home and there certainly was. Some dude helped me pick out two 22oz bottles of something from the local area, The selection is huge and has same things that a number of places don’t typically have such as sour ales. If you pay with credit you pay a 3% mark up, what gives so I paid cashola. I would think that you would drive business away with that method of operation. When I question the clerk about it she sort of got wise with me even though it was an honest question. Her parting response was «welcome to South Carolina.»

I seem to be having good luck with random wine shops down South.
Stopped by here on my way back from Greenville today after taking (and passing) my certified exam for the Court of Master Sommeliers. Fantastic selection, separate cellar area with some real gems. ’78 Pichon-​Lalande, plenty of Gaja, multiple vintages of Haut-​Brion and Mouton. ’94 Dominus, couple of vintages of d’Yquem (a ’99 was sold out for $ 100), Barolos, Cote Roties, great sparkling section… also pleased to see some Ken Wright pinots here as well– love the quality Willamette representation. Ended up leaving with an ’03 Louis Latour Corton-​Grancey Grand Cru for $ 49, marked down from $ 90 and a .375 of 1990 Guiraud Sauternes for $ 49. Wine steward was knowledgeable and friendly.
As a side note, how come all the liquor/​wine stores here in South Carolina have completely separate sides for the hard alcohol and beer/​wine? And whats with the whole 3 red dots thing on the signs outdoors?

As a Californian it’s weird to me to not be able to get liquor in a grocery store, but given that’s the way it is in South Carolina, this is a great spot to get some.
Cost to worth it ratio: 3
Highlights:
— Size of store: pretty large warehouse style completely stocked and segmented into aisles marked with liquor type. Ah the wonderful world of liquor – like willy wonka’s for adults.
— Variety: I only perused the vodka section – my liquor of choice – but the options were plentiful. Probably about the same as BevMo, but the difference seems to be the option of large Costco sizes with handles for most items. We had to look a bit but was happy to find my firefly sweet tea on the bottom shelf.
Lowlights:
— If you want beer, wine or mixers, it’s on the other side so you have to exit the store and re-​enter over there.
— Cash prices: kinda like the gas station deal, but seems like only about a dollar per bottle, so it’s not worth it to me.
If Firefly still isn’t distributed to Cali before our next visit, we’ll be back to stock up.

I don’t drink liquor so I can’t put too much input on that matter but the beer selection is kinda weak. I want beer that I can’t find at supermarkets. I don’t need Becks and I don’t care about Kirin — I can find those with relative ease at any-​o places. I want west coast microbeers not Italian watered down beers. Oh by the way, the wine selection is great. Overall, the one in Atlanta has far better choices.
