“An outstanding package store that truly cares about its customers, offering exceptional service and always going the extra mile to provide help, recommendations, and a welcoming experience every time you visit!”
“Greeted nicely as soon as I walked in. Jay was super helpful guiding me around this store I had never been too. The music was on point and the whole vibe of the place was pleasant. Great experience.”
“SS Bottle Shoppe is my "go-to" place whenever I'm visiting the area. The selection is fantastic and they've got a great variety of your usual favorites along with more unique finds, so there's always something for everyone. The owner will even place orders when I'm looking for something specific that might not be in stock. He has tons of knowledge for the times when I want to get someone a nice gift but I don't know anything about specialty bourbons or tequilas. This is a great place to go if you want a stellar selection in the welcoming environment of a small-town shop.”
“Very nice people one night I got there as they were closing and the lady at the front turned the register back on just so I could make a five dollar purchase!!! Awesome service!!”
“There is an excellent variety of beers and spirits. staff is very friendly and helpful .one issue I have is that I spent over $100 and cashier put three large glass bottles in the same flimsy bag the paper and was bursting and was ready to rip. I borrowed their carriage ,if I didn’t most likely I would’ve dropped the bottles. If she had double bagged it it would have been ok.”
“This liquor store is a gem! They've got an impressive selection and the gentleman at the register is incredibly helpful and friendly! I love that they always have my favorite tequila and champagne in stock. Whenever I'm in the mood to explore something new, they never disappoint with their recommendations.”
“Been going here I can’t even remember how many years my family they’re good people here. Great package to our prices are great good people definitely give them 10 ⭐”
“Great liquor store around here they got cheapest price on a whole East Haven. They have everything whatever you need the owner order it always for you. highly recommend.”
“Been in the neighborhood for a while now, and decided to stop in to check it out. I wish I had stopped in sooner, they have a great selection of wines, some local beers and other spirits as well! I Told Ben I was not a red wine person, and he recommended one I really enjoy and have gone back since then! Prices are very reasonable, great selections and love to contribute to local shops!”
“For being the closest shop to the town, and islands, they could easily over charge for their booze. But the Package Store provides a great selection at more than reasonable rates”
“We just finished a wine tasting tonight and found some new wines to try. What’s so great about this wine store is their willingness to expose you to new wines that are out there. Instead of the same old wine you buy at a Costco or other wine stores; you get to sample wines from all over the world during their bi monthly wine tasting events. Staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about their wines from where they are grown to the types of grapes they are made from. The place is not flashy but the selection and the prices are awesome. Give it a visit. You won’t be sorry.”
“Excellent selection of red zinfandel and red blends. Nice selection of craft beer (Vermont, CT breweries represented) in the fridge. The employees are top notch as well!”
“New owner , Guilford girl, go down see Rene better and bigger inventory while cleaning up and modernizing the old Guilford spirit shop right next to McDonald's”
“This family owned package store has been a staple on the Guilford green for years and years. It has a large selection and the absolute best service around! The staff is extremely friendly and courteous!”

“This small hidden gem has a great selection of cold beers, wines and hard alcohols. The owner is almost always there with a smile on his face and a warm greeting. If you're interested in something and can't find it he will do his best to find it or (in some cases) order it for you!”
“Great inventory and centrally located in Wallingford! Staff is quick to assist with selection or answer questions. I had asked about a unique wine selection and the owner was kind enough to order and notify me when it was in stock. Highly recommended!”

“This is the perfect neighborhood wine & spirits shop. Being new to the area, I was SO pleased to find a place with a great selection and prices, but more importantly, the nicest, most helpful people who run the store. They are always available with a suggestion, but by no means are they intrusive if you just want to browse on your own. We like red wines, and are open to new things too. The selection of reds is great for a small store, and their prices are just as good as impersonal warehouse-type places.”
“Clean, friendly service, a very large selection of wine, beer and all other liquors at reasonable prices. A very big store with easy access parking right in front of the building just off of Boston Post Road rte 1.”
“The staff is so friendly and accommodating especially Sammy. He always greets you with a smile and a pleasantry. The prices are the best around and for it not being a large package store, the selection is great.”
“If you want to be reminded of what shopping at a great small business feels like, North Madison Wine & Spirits is it. I've been a regular customer for years and the experience never gets old. Bob and his team know your name, remember what you like, and genuinely want to help you find the right bottle.
The selection is excellent whether you're picking up a six-pack or stocking up for a big night. The NMWS team also helped me with planning an event. Bob assisted with what to order, let me borrow coolers, and filled them with ice from their onsite machine. On the day of the event, I just showed up and they helped load everything into my car. It's the kind of flexibility and service you just don't get at a big box store.
What really sets this place apart though is the heart behind it. Bob is one of the most community-minded business owners I know. He supports local charities, sponsors little league teams, donates gift cards, and more. He's not just running a business in North Madison, he's genuinely invested in the people who live here.
Small businesses like this are rare and worth supporting. Do yourself a favor and make this your go-to shop. You'll get better service, better advice, and you'll be supporting someone who truly gives back. Five stars without hesitation.”
“The Best around!! The owner and staff are like family! They are very good people and I love the love they give when you walk through them doors! Friendly atmosphere and they go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need! Keep up the good work BOSS!”
“When I went to Connecticut this was the place to get liquor at a good price but hey cork & barrel could you add a building in southern Maine I think it would be a great location for your business and the community.”
“All the employees are sincerely friendly and always available. You never have to wait or look for them. Store is always neat and clean inside and out, and I'm never bothered for my spare change at the door.”
“Just a local packy with a pretty good selection of beer and wine. The owners are friendly and the prices are decent. If you need to make a quick beer run, be sure to keep this spot on your list.”
“Very pleasant, honest, respectful welcoming family...you are for sure to leave with a smile on your face no matter your situation or mood before intering such a magnificently well managed spirt shop ?✨???✨☀️?”
“A place to go to Wine down to pick up something nice for the evening or dinner time. Employees are very friendly family oriented parking ok .Clean lot. Prices are reasonable.”

“Employees are helpful, i.e. an employee helps you bring your heavy purchases to your car, they tell you where to find specific brands of alcohol, they carry a variety of wines, liquor, & beer.”
“Seems to be family-owned, and they're all very helpful and friendly. Will order stuff if they don't have what you want. But actually the selection and price point are both quite a pleasant surprise from what you might guess from the outside! Good wine selection and decent beer (incl cold) and liquor. I love this place! It's my go-to for everyday needs.”
