Wine Works

I periodically stop in at Wine Works to pick up a bottle of wine or a six-​pack of beer. The store has a huge selection of wines and beers. It’s fun to see the pictures on the bottles.
I was in the store on Sat, May 21, 2016 for a group wine tasting and had a great time. Our facilitator selected three cabernet sauvignons:
2014 Château Les Vallees Bordeaux, a cabernet
2013 Koonara Coonawarra Angel’s Peak
2013 Marques Casa Concha
We had an interactive discussion about the wines and wine factoids. The group favorite was the Koonara.

Well, that’s weird. I really feel like I reviewed this Wine Works at some point in the past. Apparently not!
I’ve been coming here longer than any other liquor store in the area, believe it or not from the check ins! Prior to becoming nutty about the suds, I was in love with New Jersey wines. Wine Works was my standard spot for Valenzano, Heritage, Sharrott, etc.
I stopped in yesterday afternoon since it was right on my way home from the shore area. All the usual vino suspects are still well-​stocked on the shelves, but I headed straight for the beer.
First off: Check the dates. Some of the beers are dusty, and that’s a bit disconcerting depending on the style.
Second: Make your own six-​pack. I do this whenever possible in general, and they do have a nice selection here. Much larger than Wegmans, smaller than Total Wine, and maybe on par with Canal’s, depending on the location.
Also check out their large format bottles. I was surprised to find Transmitter Brewing in stock. Transmitter is a tiny brewery on Long Island City. Like, super tiny. Like, only a few people can comfortably fit in their tasting area at a time. Definitely try their stuff if you see it and like your beer on the funky side.
Check out is always efficient. Obviously be prepared to present your ID if you’re anything like me and could pass for a 19-​year-​old.
Probably the best part of Wine Works? Very reasonable prices. My 6-​pack of pretty good stuff came out to $ 14…aka the price I’ve paid for one beer on draft on a few occasions.

Wine Works is impressive, a great place to browse. They will deliver. Lots of craft beer selections, and they even have a make your own 6 pack going on. Wine tasting memberships available. For a real treat, try the cheese counter. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff.

IMO this place beats the Wine Legend and Canals… because they deliver! Or if you choose you can pick up your online order at the store. This is such a convenient service especially if time is of the essence. Their website is superb. I’m not a wine connoisseur at all but i do know what i like and don’t like and able to search their inventory online without having to make a call or go in person and waste your time. Happy shopping and salud!

extremely bad customer online support. only new vintages that is why they are cheap.
they are not interested in building long term clientele. their shiiping methods are terrible to say the least.
will never used them again

Definitely the best wine and beer selection in South Jersey. Great prices also. I love the fact that they also sell a variety of cheeses. The décor is also very stylish and very clean. Staff is great, when I called about seeing if they had certain wines, one of the wines was low in stock but they offered to keep them on the side for me so that it would be there when I came to the store.

Best variety and prices anywhere, clean store, knowledgeable, friendly staff, convenient location, free samples from the tasting machine, a substantial internet presence, and free local delivery! What more could you possibly want?

I recently booked marked this based on Monya V’s review and so glad I was able to make it in. It is out of the way for me and I almost never make it out to Mt Laurel but this will all change now that I have my wine tasting membership ($ 10) one time charge. I make it a point to replenish my stash at home on a weekly basis and was able to find a great white and red to bring home. It is definately a pro to be able to taste before deciding. The white is the Santa Rita Organic Sauvignon Blanc. The red Vinas Viejas De Paniza 2012 Garnacha. When you first purchase your membership you will be taken back to obtain your card and then given a quick tutorial. Basically, don’t leave your glass on the counter as the machine will miss your glass and pour on the counter instead hold it in the air directly under spout. Insert your card chip facing downward and leave it there do not remove. Press and hold the button over your choice until it stops pouring it is pre measured so don’t worry. Most importantly take your card back as you will NEED it later. I even made a friend! Not really but it’s easy to strike a conversation over wine. I cannot wait to come back! Also, my fiancé was able to find beer that is hard to find at some of our usual liquor stores which is a plus.

Love this place! Drive from Philly just to pick up our favorites! Their wine selection is great and the free tastings ($ 10 surcharge one time only) for life are great!!! Liquor and beer too plus a walk-​in cigar humidor on site! Love it all!

Of the 10,000 or so liquor stores in South Jersey, this one has the best wine selection, especially if you’re looking for old school and/​or so-​called «natural» wines from Europe. They carry a number of wines, for example, imported by Louis/​Dressner, who is probably one of the best importers of that kind of wine.
I make it a point to stop here pretty much every time I’m running errands in South Jersey. My advice, though, is that if you’re looking for something particular, check their website first. From my experience, about half of the wines that I’ve purchased here are listed cheaper on their website, but they’ll honor web price in the store if you ask.

I went into this store to look for a very specific beer and a very specific whisky. They don’t carry the beer (which is fine) and they were out of the whisky (it was said to be due in again on Friday). I didn’t have a problem with the fact that I didn’t get to leave with any of my targeted picks, but I was a little disappointed in the service. I was in there for about five minutes slowly searching the whisky and beer aisles looking for what I wanted and no one came to offer help (or even seemed to be walking around the store checking on anything). I finally went to the front to ask for help and the guy I encountered frankly wasn’t all that helpful. He had to make a phone call to a guy twice to find out if they had what I wanted. I also noted that while he was helping me, he picked up a piece of trash from the floor (win!) but left the spray bottle of cleaner that was right next to the trash right on the floor where it was (fail!).
Now, with all of this being said (I left without what I wanted/couldn’t find any great help), it was really a pretty nice store. I can see why a lot of people gave the store a four or a five and I wouldn’t hesitate to stop back in again. They had a lot of nice displays up front with signage that described the wines there as well as some ratings to help guide the selection. The store was huge and because of it’s size, they seemed likely to have a good selection. I thought the beer selection was fairly large but I didn’t see anything that was really unique. I also noted some seasonal beers that get released around Halloween or before that might be reaching the end of their shelf life by this point in December — it’s hard to say because I don’t go to this store all the time, but it gave me pause because those beers have been long gone from my local beer stores.
I would love to go back when I have more time to check out all of the wines — given the name of the store, it’s not surprising that this seems to be their big draw. I think today’s main issue was a service issue, but judging by what others have to say, this doesn’t seem to consistently be the case.

How many check ins do I have here? I like this store a lot & the main reason is because of the seemingly limitless variety. I have never walked into this store & spent less than 30 minutes casually wandering through their well stocked shelves & browsing their ever changing selection.
If you buy the membership card, you can hang out with the rest of the cool kids at the wine sampling station. It’s automated, simply take a glass, insert your card & pick the wine you wish to sample. I’ve made some new friends in this part of the store & who doesn’t like shopping after a few samples of wine?
It’s a great store, check it out & if you see me there — don’t be shy, say hello.

This is probably the nicest liquor store I have been in. They have a huge selection of all kinds of spirits, beers, cheese etc., not just wine. The wine selection is extensive and there are cards with food pairings. The beer and craft beer section is extensive also.
There is usually wine, beer or cheese tasting going on whenever I visit. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The big thing that sets Wine Works apart from the competition is how pleasant it is inside. Some liquor stores can be a little sketchy at times but not here. It is bright, modern, clean and sophisticated.

This store is huge. Even though I asked for an obscure bottle of Moscato (which the website said they had but I couldn’t find in the Moscato section) the employee I asked immediately directed me to the Kosher section where it was (yay!). There are rows and rows of wine, beer, and liquor. It wasn’t quite as big as some of the warehouse type stores I’m used to in the Baltimore area, but those stores don’t carry either of the wines I was looking for. My husband and I walked out with 7 bottles of wine for around $ 100.
If we lived nearby, we would’ve definitely paid more attention to the cheese section, which looked quite good.
Another thing we would take advantage of if we lived in the area was the chill machine… I can’t believe I’ve never seen one of those before, but I imagine it’s extremely helpful if your bringing a bottle somewhere and need it quickly chilled.
My husband’s family doesn’t live too far so thankfully I’ll be able to return at some point when I deplete my current stash.

I’m not a wine guy so you may wonder why I stepped foot in a place called Wine Works. Well I was actually referred to Wine Works via an employee of another liquor store (a very reputable one at that) for their beer selection, and pleased I was. I noticed that they had a huge wine selection as well as a wine tasting/​cheese bar so wine snobs take note.
As far as their beer selection goes, they are easily one of the best stores as far as price/​selection goes in South Jersey. They are the only store I’ve found in the area that carries New Jersey Brewing Company, which makes one of my favorite stouts. They also have a great International beer selection.
When I went to check out, the cashier was very friendly and was talking with me about beer. The only reason I don’t give a full 5 stars is because I noticed some of the beer bottles were dusty, which leads me to believe that they’ve been sitting on the shelf a while. So just be on the look out when you go to pick your poison. Otherwise go nuts and enjoy the experience of a top notch liquor store!

I always enjoy visiting Wine Works. I wish they would franchise and open more stores!
Pay $ 10 for a membership card (lifetime member) and receive 4 wine tastings per day! What a great deal! They change their wines out weekly. Your card is gets loaded with a dollar amount — I think it starts at $ 1000.00. (You will understand it more when you see it). When your card comes to a zero balance, they refill the card for free! Again, a one time lifetime membership.
Coupons — They do not have coupons, however, there is a daily email that goes out informing you of any special deal that day or special product. Also, if you shop at ShopRite in Marlton, there is a 10% discount coupon on 1 bottle of wine (non-​sale item) on the back of your store receipt.
HUGE selection of specialty wines and beers — items that you will not find at your local liquor store, Joe Canals, or Trainos. I went on vacation to Charleston and had a specialty beer at this dive restaurant (so good too) that Wine Works carried the supply of that same beer! I was sooo excited.
Service is great, take your time and leisure, and explore the store.
There is also a cheese shop as well. They will at times provide cheese samples near the Wine Tasting area.
They also have a chill machine — buy a bottle of wine and have it chilled in time to take home for dinner or for a party. Ready in a matter of minutes!
Enjoy!

I love a wine store in which I can wander around endlessly without getting bored.
The wine selection is amazing and much better than any Canal’s I’ve been in recently. The wine is organized and displayed beautifully. The salesman was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.
My favorite part of the store is the cheese counter. Seriously, genius idea.

Staying in the area, Wine Works was a convenient choice from my hotel. The selection of craft beers was BIG, but the prices were a bit steep. We splurged, and had fun making up our own six-​pack. It seems $ 3.50 for a regular 12 oz is a lot, even if it has a high alcohol content. ;)
The wines were divided up in a few different ways, smart marketing on their part. There were sections based on price, based on specials, on «velvety» versus «bold» and of course by region. There is also a tasting area that apparently requires you having a member card. The membership is probably a good idea as it’s free and offered some good discounts.

Best selection of wine and craft beers in south jersey/​Philadelphia, for an actually decent price! You can «design your own 6 pack» of craft beers. They have 4 rows full of craft beers by the bottle.
You should get a frequent buyer rewards card, its free, and it entitles you to all the special prices.
Also, you can buy a wine tasting card, good for life, go in and sample 5 wines each visit! They also have cheese!
Lastly, biggest selection of Jersey wines here, Valenzano, Amalthea, Tomasello, all the good ones :)
I live in Philly, and always stop at wine works to do my booze shopping every time im in Jersey.

Where has Wine Works been all my life?! This place is amazing.
Don’t be fooled by the name. Wine Works has everything from (yes) wine, to craft beer, gourmet cheese, and cigars. And they do it in a much classier setting than most NJ liquor stores.
For the craft beer drinker, they have an incredible selection. I even found Delirium Tremens here! Woohoo can’t wait to break into that bad boy later! I digress…
You can mix a 6 here (one of my favorite pasttimes) and even get a 5% discount. 10% discount on cases.
They have a pretty sweet rewards club too. I am a proud card-​carrying member.
