World of Beverages

I used to come here more often, but this place has been sold and these people are not smart, I had a bottle explode in my car, no reason I can think of, but the store manager, maybe owner wouldn’t replace it, I know from experience that the suppliers don’t have a problem replacing them if the seal is intact. So unless I hear from this guy, I’m done with that place…

Someone said this to me today about this place «You could land your private jet/​plan in here and fill’er up. I agree… There is endless options and I suggest you try the wine tasting located in the middle of the store. We picked up a bottle from there. A rose bubbly and normally I wouldn’t drink that. Score! Sometimes they are too sweet and give me a headache, but I was fine and it was delicious.
the bottle of Moet was in the frnt locked up, if you are wondering where it was (we ended up getting something else that the staff recommended and it was wayyy less $$$ yet delicious).
We were going to go after we checked in our hotel, but are you kidding me it was RIGHT there when we got off the exit. My friend grew up in the area and told me he really likes this place before he leaves home and he stocks up. I did believe me.
I really love wine and love to support the ma and pa spots. I know this is big, but it’s defiantly like a ma and pa, because its in the middle of no where. Idk, that’s my personal feeling about it. I gave them a lot of my money. HA
Bottom line, I was in heaven. We got three bottles for the evening :0 I think we were satisfied.
You should defiantly stop by when you are in the area…
Wine goes great with grapes, cheese, fancy cheese, and crackers. (Shop and Stop is right next door)…
Wine + Daisha = Happy Lady

back in the day World of Beverages was THE BEST and biggest liquor store around, now it just looks tiny compared to the mega package stores that are popping up. Sad, but these guys still have a unique selection and a few things I had not seen elsewhere. Worth checking out if you are killing time hunting for new beers.

Only visited once. Is not nearly as spacious as Total Wine or Stew’s, a bit run down. Kind of like liquor stores from a generation ago. Was not impressed at all. Why anyone would go there over Total or Stew’s, I don’t know.

overpriced selection of 6 pack craft beer, decent selection in the 22oz bombers. I like their mini spirits selection and variety. but the cashier ringing me up was rude and starring at a clothing website adding things to her basket while mine was still full waiting to be purchased. Won’t be coming back.

First things first: check bottle dates when you shop here! This store has no compunctions about putting last year’s seasonals on the shelf and selling them at this-year’s prices. A friend of mine bought 2011 Victory Festbier this year right around the time all the other stores were putting the 2012 out. Not cool.
That said, they have a massive selection of craft beer and there’s something for everyone. They’re very good at getting certain stuff in stock — such as Berkshire Brewing Co’s beers — which makes them worth checking out regularly. WOB also seem to get seasonal releases a week or two ahead of other local shops, which is a plus.
This place is a little pricey compared to BevMax, but that’s what you get for shopping at a non-​chain joint.

Nice store, selection and price and at least they have good customer service

I would highly recommend World Of Beverages to anyone!
The prices are very affordable. Customers can return their cans or bottles there for cash or for a discount on their total alcohol purchase (which is a convenience many liquor stores do not offer their customers). The owner is always friendly and will gladly suggest a wine or hard liquor recommendation. I have been going there for many years and am always satisfied.
As a bonus, they have a wall of rebates at both the entrance and exit doors so you can take the rebate information that applies to your purchase and save a few more dollars. Parking is easy and spacious.
They also offer tastings of everything from wine, beer, tequila, and vodka on select days (usually starting around 5 PM until 7 PM).

This place has it all. Wonderful selection of both fine and inexpensive wines, fully stocked on all types of liquor, and a very extensive beer selection from around the world. The staff is knowledgeable and generally helpful. It is a larger store than a typical corner joint, and so it is able to stock an impressive collection. It is my go to place to buy alcohol in Norwalk. Highly recommended.
