Dear Armanettis, My Wife and I were shopping for a bridal shower we were hosting last Friday and stopped at the Armanettis on Rt.47 in Woodstock to stock up on beer, wine, and champagne for the party. We always purchase slightly more than we think we’ll need to be sure we don’t run out. The next day we’ll generally return any unopened wine/champagne we don’t think we will use. The next morning I returned to the store with four bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine. I was told by the Manager/Owner? (who was the person that checked us out the day before) that, ‘you cannot return liquor’ and that, ‘no one in Mchenry will take liquor back’. After standing there with a puzzled expression I informed him he just lost a good customer. He came out to the parking lot to inform me that because I could have tampered with the product or changed its quality with poor (hot, cold, sunlight) storage he couldn’t take it back. I held up the receipt that showed I had purchased the liquor less than 24 hours ago. And it was still in the box that HE packed it in. Still, common sense eluded him. Checking Illinois law there is nothing that states you may not or you must accept liquor returned to the store from which it was purchased. It is up to the individual store/chain to set their policy. However, since moving to the area a few months ago I have frequented this store on average 2-3 times a week, I’m a regular customer. This employee’s short sighted action may have saved him/them a couple dollars and maybe a little effort, but it cost the store hundreds/thousands(?) of dollars in future sales. Oh forgot to mention, I had returned the extra liquor from a house warming party to that very store two months earlier. That employee accepted the return with the courtesy one would expect from a class establishment. Guess I’ll be hanging at Binnys alot more.

Every time I go every body is very helpful and knowledgeable. Ill ask for anything and you can see their brain rack through their vast inventory followed with a confirming reply; due to they have almost everything. I think Ive been followed too but I was wearing big black coat and had my 21yo shaved baby face on. So its justifiable and convenient for when I need help. Anyways, place is great. Wide selection of Craft Beer, Wine, & ..... thats all that matters you can get spirits anywhere. Although I prefer this Polish grain alchohol over everclear for apple pie making, Itss a point stronger, AND THEY HAVE IT in the ominous handle size. So I fear, revere. & appreciate them stocking that. As for the Negative Nancys posting/reveiwing.... Just suck less....you shouldnt feel prestige for patronage thats just arrogant. + returns are the most annoying thing for any business especially small businessess that deal with maintaining product sustainability. Dont Google state food and beverage laws Google common sense, Other customers dont want your disclosed hearsay or your returned trunk wine. Armanettis provides the service of bringing Great Beer and Wine to me and I say thank you. THANK YOU!!!!!

BOYCOTT Armanettis! They are EXTREMELY racists. My friend and I walked in there minding our own business, looking for a 6 pack to pick up and not only did we have someone following us the whole time, but I picked up a bottle to see where it was from and that person following us came up to us and kicked us out! My friend and I are both college educated and the most unsuspecting people on earth. I was absolutely horrified at how we were treated. I would recommend going to ANY other liquor story in Woodstock.

Great craft beer selection and great customer service. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because their beer isnt always kept fresh. Youll commonly see great craft beers like Gumballhead in the fridge section with a month and a half old date. Given the popularity of that beer it normally doesnt sit longer than a week or two. And just like any hoppy wheat, it spoils when kept at room temperature for a month then moves to the fridge.
