Total Wine & More

The best selection of wine and craft beers that I’ve found in NN. Sometimes they have wine tastings. Decent prices, good customer service.

Great selection and staff is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Was in and out of there quick. Fabulous service and found exactly what I wanted quick! Thank you for a great experience.

First of all… wine is sold here!!! And lots of it!!! Free wine tastings are held during the midday hours! So ummm yeah… Woohoo! This IS as good as it gets!!!
This store is huge and offers plenty! But in case you get lost or have no idea what to get, the staff is on hand to lend you a hand or even both! They are definitely eager to get the right bottle (s) of goodness in your hand before you walk out the door.
My personal experience… I described a wine to the clerk. And I had a limited description. Needless to say, myself and the clerk did not locate it. But reassure, she pointed me to the wine tasting table to sample a wine with the similiar taste as the one I was searching for. And to my surprise, I tasted her suggestion (dessert wine by Apex) and loved it! Only to mention when you purchase one the sample wines you will receive an extra 10% off the purchase of the bottle. Awesome perk! 10% is better than 0% off!
You could very well spend and hour or two in this store. If you are a wine lover… an hour easy! I couldn’t spare no more than 30 mins because my babe was with me. But trust I will return soon when I have nothing but time! And a desire to shop til I drop :)
The store clerks also have their top picks on display as well. Most of the wines also have a description of the wine which helps out a great deal!
There is also a section of local wineries/​beers, if you desire to support local. Or if you are searching for a wine by country… they have it separated here for your pleasure!
Beer, wine, novelties, dishes, bags, cases… this store has many things for you to choose from. This is more than a beverage store.
Definitely visit if you are in the area!
Also the location is perfect. Near here you wil find: grocery store, eateries… strip mall!
Have fun!

Total wine is the best wine store that i have seen in all of the state’s I’ve been to. They have a huge selection of wines and beer. They offer wine tastings and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you don’t see something on the shelf, be sure to ask because if they have it they will be sure to find it for you. A couple of times they had to climb up to the top shelves to open more boxes because of something that was sold out. This place is definitely a wine lovers dream!

I love this place, it’s a wine drinkers dream! The staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable. And also well rounded in all the types of wine. The selection is huge too! This one is on par with the others I’ve been to also. You can never go wrong when you come here!

Lots of good local wines and beer?!
Yes, I love love total wine. I hit this place up at least twice a month for some wine. I know total wine has other locations but this is the only one that remotely near where I live. Williamsburg has to open up one up ASAP, I’m sure it would do great.
This total wine is in a convienant spot next to a Food Lion and right across PF so you can drink up all the calories you worked so hard to lose. Theres lots of parking too.
This location has consistent wine tastings I’ve dropped in on on Fridays and Saturday afternoon. The hours are pretty late and they wont kick you out until your done shopping.
The interior looks a lot bigger inside then what it looks like from the outside. They have a nice collection of microbews and crafts. You can customize your own 6 packs from a whole aisle of beers. The wine and such is organized by price, country and type. They have local wines which is really cool. I love their Riesling, Moscato and Red wine selection. I swear I tried just about all of thier Moscatos. They also have an email alert program which sends you coupon offers within the store or you can use it online.
The staff here is decent. Some of the older folks here really know their stuff and will reccomend you so spectacular wines based on your preference and budget. The onlly downside to this place is checkout. It can be a little slow since they only have like 3 or four registers and I’ve never seen them all functioning at the same time.
Be sure that everyone in your party brings their IDs even if they aren’t buying because they will check you.
Overall, I will continue my patronage here because I always find something new and the prices are pretty cheap. I recommend this place for any wine and craft beer enthsiast. They also have wine accesories which range from okay to high quality, they are great house warming gifts. I like the champagne selection too and they have a small selection of quality cigars. My go to cheap sweet red wine at the moment is Bully Hills Sweet Walters which is a hot item and usually sold out so I buy it whenever its in stock for only 7.99!

My jaw dropped when I walked in to this store. Then my mouth started watering when I realized the HUGE selection of wine that they have. I had to drag my husband out of the store and all its beers. I love the fact that they are so organized and have basically any wine or beer that I could possible want (or need!)
I ended up getting a rose sparkling wine that I used to drink in Sweden all the time (during summer at least) and looking forward to opening it. My husband got a local 1 beer and he was happy about that.
I am sure that we will go back here whenever we need something for dinner or just to lounge in the summer.

I have been frequenting this particular Total Wine for a few years. It started when I would wander down to find a bottle of wine to go with a movie I rented/​purchased from Blockbuster Video. Now, it’s usually the place I stop in to on the way home from work or after I finish up a workout at the gym across the street.
The scope and nature of this place hasn’t changed much over the years, but I have to give them massive kudos for providing three things that I can’t find in most other beer and wine establishments.
1) The great selection of microbrews in single bottles. What a great way to try something new without committing to a whole six pack.
2) The wide variety of wines from Virginia wineries. It’s great to go check out a vineyard, fall in love with a wine, and then find that same wine here a few weeks later.
3) The knowledge of the staff about their many wines. They have tried most all of them and will not lead you wrong when it comes time to pair a wine with that duck you wanted to try your hand at preparing.
My advice to anyone who pops in to this establishment is to be up front with them about your tasting experience, your budget, and your willingness to venture away from your «comfort» wines or beers. The folks here will be more than happy to help you in your quest.

Nice shopping experience. Wide selection of wines, beer and other alcohol accessories. The beer selection from around the world is awesome. A little on the pricey side but Ill be back.

Well some of you folks might disagree with me but I’m from out of town ya see. I was amazed at the huge selection of top notch wine and beer at incredible prices! Just for fun I thought hey let’s see if they carry a really off the wall beer from Germany called Rauchbier by a company called Schlenkerla, well at least that’s a tall order in the beer stores around my house! But they had three different Raucbiers. Wow I would say this place has the market cornered I hope they come to Pittsburgh.

Great selection of beers and ciders. I’ve been able to find some great local brews, too.

This Total Wine is a bit strange to walk into.
Once inside it’s almost identitcal to any other of the chain. I’ve had good experiences at many of the TW&M’s and I’m quite happy to be a patron.
However, there’s one glaring issue at this location. The total ineptitude of the management staff. If I owned a store (or franchised one), and the condition of my shelves, lack of stock knowledge and overall ambivalence to the cleanliness of the store was as apparent as the one in Newport News, I should have my store taken away from me.
Upon entering I walked to the beer area which is pretty expansive. Once there, I found no rhyme or reason in the layout of the section. I ran through my years of manufacturing managment and store layouts — Alphabetical by brewery — No, Separated by style — No, Partioned off by country — Not a chance.
There were whole areas of the beer aisle that were condensed down and labeled. There were also whole areas that had beers faced in front of other beers. To top it all off a third of the aisle was empty but labeled.
I finally got fed up with looking and spoke to the store manager about acquiring 20 – 30 different beer brands and types, as I was in a slight hurry. He pulled up my list to which he pointed to his «stock». I asked him where I could find them and he responded, «One of five areas — the beer aisle, the cooler, or one of three end caps.» I asked him if the stock was correct and he responded, «I have no clue, the stock numbers only update at 7:00AM, and I’ve had hundreds of people in my beer aisles.» There was no offer to help look, he dismissed me by saying «Good Luck.»
Zero customer service, zero product knowledge and an apathetic view point on someone who had planned on spending hundreds of dollars in the store. Additionally the store was not well maintained with empty boxes strewn about.
The only reason this place received my business was that I was travelling for work, and was not about to add another hour to my trip to go to another one.
What a joke — TW&M you need to examine your management team at this location and assess their intent on putting out the product, quality and service you expect from one of your sites.

This place is amazing! It doesn’t look like much from the outside but as soon as you walk inside you will be amazed by the variety of wines and craft beer. If you have a favorite wine or beer that you can’t find anywhere, you’ll find it here. My only complaint came when i decided to get a keg from them. Not only did it cost me $ 90 in deposits but when i brought back the empty keg and tap they said if i had the card i used to make the purchase that they could swipe it and put the money back into my account. That was four days ago and i still have not received my money. When i called them about it they were very rude, blamed my bank and said it can take up to 10 days for me to get my money. If you are looking for obscure wines or craft beers this place is for you. just remember that if you are getting any money back from them, make sure you get it back in cash!
p. s. dont look for hard liquor here. In VA you can only buy liquor at an ABC

I love Total Wine, and am so happy there is one near me. When I’m in the mood for good beer, Total Wine is my go to place. The staff is really friendly and will help you out when needed. They have a great selection of craft beers and imports. My liver cowers in fear every time I walk in the place.

Cant comment on the wine selection as I came in for the beer. They had a very wide selection and decent prices. The staff was very help full and friendly.

Great selection of wine and beer. Walk in keg service. Daily wine tasting. Awesome place!

They got my BEER! Not only do they have an extensive selection on Wine but amazingly they have quite a selection of beer as well! I’m a bit picky on my beer so I tend to go here once a month to fill my fridge with imported goodies! Prices are set at retail so it’s neither cheap or expensive. They keep tags on their shelves but if you need more info, their friendly staff are always apt to help. oh, and they also have a bunch of liquor mixes! And if they don’t have what you are looking for, make sure to ask a staff so that they can special order it for you!

I’m a big fan of Total Wine & More in Newport News. Okay, first off, they have a wonderful selection of wines and they range from local Virginia wines to every kind of import you could want. They also have wine tastings in-​house that are a good way to find out about new wines.
They also have a wonderful beer selection. This, too, ranges from domestics to crazy imports, from large breweries to microbrews. And what’s cool is that they keep this rotating through, so you never know what you may find. Recently I discovered Wild Blue through Total Wine – it’s a wonderful blueberry beer with 8% alcohol and I suggest checking it out. Oh yeah, and they also rent kegs at good prices. What’s not to like?

Total Wine in Newport News is a somewhat different experience than Total Wine in Norfolk, VA. For the most part, the selection is the same; but there are a few differences in the overall selection. Total wine is a GREAT place to order kegs and pony kegs for parties. The staff is very helpful and friendly. And the beer selection ranges widely from imports and microbrews to the more common domestics. The imports are often seasonal and always interesting. In particular, I recommend Wild Blue, which is an 8% alcohol blueberry-​flavored beer. The taste is out of this world, and the alcohol content is surprisingly strong. In Norfolk, Wild Blue is never in the refrigerated area, but always so in Newport News.
Beyond beer, their wine choices are really great and varied. They often have wine-​tasting booths in the middle of the store, and I’ve discovered many a good red and white wine there. And in my experience the staff is always helpful, informative, and especially sweet in talking with customers and sharing in information about the different wines and beers.
