Stopped in looking for a couple bottles of Cabernet. Great selection ended up grabbing a couple bottles of the cab as well as a fantastic Argentinian Merlot. Great Bottle Shop to drop in on good selection. Will shop here again

Recently I went in for the soul purpose of purchasing a variety of local beers for an event I was hosting. I'm not a beer drinker and asked for some help locating the local brands. There were two people behind the counter and one replied "I'm sorry we can't help you, but the beer guy will be back in a little bit if you would like to wait." How can the employees not even know which beers they sell are from local breweries?! Very disappointed. I took my business to another local shop where they were happy to assist.

Village Wine and Spirits is my favorite place to stock up for parties. They're friendly and helpful and watch cool stuff on TV.

There is a wide variety of wines, all organized by varietal or location. Their spirit selection is quite diverse as well! I spotted some plum wine and sake along with your typical American spirits. All in all, a great location with fair prices.

Worst customer service ever. There were 2 guys at the counter, 2 registers, and one customer who was finished that they were both chit chatting with. Totally ignored me standing there obviously wanting to check out. No "can I help you" or "I can ring you up here" so I went up to one and put down my purchase. The guy never looked me in the eye, only muttered "do you want the receipt" and reluctantly non-answered my one question about their products. I may not be young and cute enough for them. Or maybe because I was wearing a facemask since I have health issues and wear one in all stores? This would be a one star review but they do have a good selection of beers. Unfortunately their prices are higher than my usual places.

Best liquor store in Athens! So conveniently located & has everything you need. I especially appreciate the caution and respect the employees have shown during the pandemic as far as consistently wearing masks and making sure customers use the tap-to-pay system. Village has my business forever!

I live in Michigan and head my parents bring me up two cases of Georgia beer on March 30th. I didn't realize until a month later that one of the cases of beer was a couple of months out of date. I got in touch with the store and they are reimbursing me for the past-it's-prime beer. Excellent customer service.

Highly suggest anyone in the 20s to stay away. I’m 23 and have a Flordia Id because I’m a student. The guy basically said he couldn’t take it and wouldn’t scan it. Not sure what his issue was but out of Towners and newly legal beware they set their own drinking age at that store. The more sketchy store down the road has better prices and doesn’t feel like a government building.

Village Wine and Spirits is my FAVORITE bottle shop in Athens. They keep the place impeccably clean and well organized. I often see the crew there keeping bottles and cans neatly arranged and faced making looking for something easy. Their prices are right in line with what you expect to pay. Also, the crew there seeks out opportunities to to give you recommendations. I often find their insights very accurate and I highly regard their input (they don’t try and push things on me). They also make the effort to point out new arrivals and put forth an effort to get to know regular customers. All the employees work well together and share a cheerful demeanor. Also, if they haven’t tried one of their offerings they ask customers what they think to help with recommendations for others. I once noticed an employee helping load a customer’s car in the rain and it’s stuck in my mind as a positive vibe for the whole store and staff.

My go-to place in athens. They always help me and suggest new and interesting drinks to try! I have never had a bad experience! They turned me on to a company for beer I didn’t know about and are always willing to share their wealth of knowledge for when I’m trying to make fun new drinks.
