Total Wine

4.4

(24)

"Total wine is the best liquor store for any occasion, and it’s not close."

"Total Wine"

"Total Wine blows everyone else out of the water."

"Can never go wrong with Total Wine or Specs"

"Total Wine on Rochester Rd and Avon SW corner."

"Total Wine hands down."

"Has literally everything you can think of."

"They have everything and if they don’t have usually no one else does."

"I’d strongly recommend coming to total wine in westbury(you can stock up for the year) if you have some time"

"Now I generally go to Total Wine, the Mike's on 85th and Wornall, or Gomers on 103rd."

Costco

4.3

(12)

"Costco has some really good Kirkland brands too that can really bring price down."

"I’ve had the best luck at Costco and Liquor Barn."

"Costco."

"Costco **in Ohio** might be worth the trip."

"Costco. No membership required if you only buy alcohol."

"You can buy at Costco without a membership."

"The big chains usually have better pricing than the small mom & pop’s. Costco often has the best pricing, but very limited selection."

"You can also look into the Costco liquor store. You don't need a membership to enter."

"Costco is worth checking out for their Kirkland scotch."

"Has a scotch sampler pack right now for $30."

Astor Wines

Vodka

4.0

(7)

"I’d get high proof Vodka"

"Vodka and pure grain alcohol (essentially 190 proof vodka) would probably be the best."

"Vodka and Everclear."

"Probably vodka. You can make a ton of drinks with vodka like screwdrivers, daiquiris, etc."

"I stock cheap vodka"

"The basics would be vodka, rum, scotch, bourbon and gin."

"Vodka"

Specs

4.7

(6)

"Specs and Total Wine are first choices for 'low' cost."

"Find the nearest Specs or Total Wine. Because they're large chains, they're going to beat pretty much everything else in the area in price."

"Specs, Twin Liquors, Docs are pretty much where I go."

"Specs hands down."

"Specs."

"For a better price Specs is your best option."

Everclear

3.0

(9)

"Everclear or cheap vodka, as recommended by the good folks over at r/vegetablegardening."

"Everclear. You can make vanilla extract with it too."

"Everclear, whiskey, bourbon, and vodka. You need all four."

"Everclear. Or some high proof gin"

"I stock three types: 1. Everclear -Usual uses of fuel, disinfectant, etc."

"Everclear with mixers, as always"

"Everclear."

"It tastes awful and is so high proof you have to cut it way down to avoid alcohol poisoning."

"Everclear is probably the best thing you can find at a liquor store for sterilizing and being flammable."
