While visiting the Orlando area for a mini-vacation over the weekend, I had the opportunity to stop at this location of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. As a long time customer of locations in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Vero Beach areas, I know the brand and enjoy the competitive prices. At about 3:45 p.m. on June 5th, I had the opportunity to meet Arthur Maille, an ABC wine consultant. Long story short, I was staying at the Parc Soleil by Hilton a few blocks away and needed to stock my refrigerator for the weekend. I didnt feel like paying "per drink" hotel prices and since my suite had a full kitchen, why not use the refrigerator? I needed a few bottles of red wine and some Bacardi rum. I went with a Bacardi black rum at a sale price of $18.99 for the 1.75 lire and a regular bottle of Bacardi rum at $18.99 on sale. Arthur suggested the Anticipation red wine as it was on sale "BOGO free" at a final price of $11.50 per bottle and a bottle of Hart & McGarry Cabernet Sauvignon at $12.99 a bottle. I later found the two wine selections by Arthur to be great choices. The Bacardi is a life long favorite and didnt require a lot of assistance. Although offered a wine sample, I declined as I had my wife and three kids in the car as the driver. My cashier was Shawn. He inquired about my ABC rewards card - which for some reason Ive never properly activated - and questioned whether I found everything I was looking for. Shawn even had time to answer a "cash back" question for the customer behind me. Seems like she wanted cash back along with her couple dollar purchase. Clean store, plenty of parking and an overall positive experience. A strong 4-star rating for this particular visit to ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. /s/ William E.

Review is based on availability and freshness of craft beer. Not faulting the staff who do their best given the market, but over 50% of the craft beer purchased here is very poor in freshness, and undrinkable in several cases. Ive had this issue with a few other Orlando liquor stores and the reality is that some stores shouldnt be carrying an extensive craft collection because they just dont turn it over often enough. I made 3 purchases in a row that were not drinkable, and we are talking about beers I drink all the time, the fact they had gone bad was evident from the first sip. Unfortunately in central Florida, Total Wine is really the only retailer you can count on for being able to deliver fresh craft beers that are low volume and not local (any Florida store can sell fresh Sierra Nevada or Cigar City, thats not what Im talking about) and its more of a market difficulty than the fault of the stores. Its unfortunate but very frustrating when you return bad beer, only to buy 2 more different beers that are both bad!

We were staying a short distance from this ABC Store. Being from Northern California, and close to the Napa Valley, we were looking for a liquor store to buy some wine. ABC was recommended by the concierge of our hotel. We drove over. The wine steward happened to be present at the time we were there, and was immensely helpful. He was very knowledgeable with most all of the wines in the store. They have a wine sampler which assisted us in our selection of some of the 6 bottles we purchased. We sat out on the balcony and drank wine while the sun set and watched the fireworks. The wine greatly enhanced the evening. I would highly recommend this ABC Store for their wide selections and especially because of the wine steward.

This place has about the best prices and biggest selection but it still didnt have a florida craft beer I was looking for and have found at only one other close location. If they had a bigger selection of local craft beers it would be a 5 star. Either way I would head here first!

Great place. They have a bunch of wine in a tasting machine that allows you to have a few sips and figure out what you might enjoy. I ended up buying one of the wines I tasted as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices are great and staff is knowledgeable.

Great big store with multiple offerings & friendly staff. If you cant find what you want. Your limiting yourself. Try something new. Also offers assessories- foam cooler, ice, bottle openers, even snacks. One stop shop on way to beach, pool, etc ....

Decent selection and fair prices. For better selection, try Total Wine. But if you just need to pick up some of the usual stuff this place will do nicely.
