I had a pool party to go to this weekend, and I had to pick up some drinks for it. I went to two…read morepackage stores and both were closed, then I stopped by Tilted Bottles package store, it was open and I finally got what I needed. This is a somewhat of a newer store, they're conveniently located in West Hartford Center, with their own parking lot at the front and the back of the store. The store has a nice layout, with plenty of wine categorized by red, white and rose. There is a good amount of international wines to choose from. I didn't look too much at the wine, I was shopping for hard seltzer. They have plenty of beers from local breweries. Beers can be purchased as a typical package, or you can customize by getting single cans or bottles and creating your own pack. You can find hard liquors, spirits and also, champagne at Tilted Bottles. They have a great selection to pick from of whatever adult beverage you might be looking for.

The owner made sure his staff received it.

"Doctor told me not to drink no more Doing everything the…read moredoctor told me not to do Hittin' the bottle again" (John Lee Hooker -Hittin' the Bottle Again) We needed a bottle of white wine for a recipe (all we had in the house was a red, a rose and a sparkling white) and since we were right across the street from the Bottle Stop, it made our course of action pretty clear. Bottle Stop is right between the huge Avon Goodwill Store and an auto parts dealer, and truth be told it looks small and fairly unimpressive from the parking lot. But once you go inside you'll see that the store is actually quite large and the aisles seem to go on forever. Their beer section is enormous, filling both sides of an aisle from the front of the store to the back. They sell quite a few single bottles so you can be adventurous and create your own six packs. We went to the bargain wine section and walked away with a nice Pinot Grigio for $3.99. Wandering the aisles and checking out their big inventory made me pretty sure they would have whatever I might need from a liquor store.

Anywhere that can maintain a first-name basis (without being judgemental) is a major win in my book. And this is where I found out about the new extended liquor laws in CT. There's always something sort of sale or special, which is great if you like new things and the wine selection is bigger than I thought it would be at first glance. Just missing one star because it is a small place and there are a lot more shops nearby with bigger selections, but this gets the job done fast and easily, with some personality rolled in.

WOW OH WOW. psychotic is the best adjective for my experience here…read more first, some background. in Feb 2021 i was hunting for Bandol with some age on it and found a decent bottle here. I placed an order over the phone and picked it up. fine experience, and i thought the selection was nice; made a note to return when in the area. obviously the other big background we all know is that Covid is still a big deal so i try very hard to give everyone more than 6' of personal room, and expect the same, especially from staff. i wear mask always when in shops and downtown areas. this past 1st weekend of April, i found another bottle on their site i wanted and decided to stop in. it was midday on Friday, four men are inside, none seem to be shopping, but none greet me. i recognize one as the man who was there last time and he's the shortest one so we'll call him Shorty. not seeing the bottle i sought, i caught attention of one of the men and asked: 'are you shopping or do you work here?' he didn't really reply so much as throw up his hands and look confused, but then Shorty yelled from the front, 'i can help you, sir' and rushed back. He immediately got within 6' of me. i began backing up, and he kept up with me until i said, 'could i please have 6' of space'. this seemed to irritate him, but he went to look for the bottle. i wanted to check out their Loire chenin, and once the aisle was clear i went in. after a few moments of browsing i go to leave and see that one of the men is standing at the end of aisle to my right. just standing there. ok... i turn left. another man is standing at that end of the aisle too. again, just standing there. there is no room to get out. then, i notice that the other two employees are in the aisles above and below my aisle. so in a (est.) 40' x 25' space, EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE is within approx. 6' and i have no where to go. i'm a little frustrated, but i stay calm and say, 'guys, i need some more space please. i can't leave the aisle right now. could i get some more space please?' the wardens at the end of the aisle move, but Shorty screams, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' (the sir is dripping with disdain in his tone.) i turn and say, 'Why are you yelling at me? I understand business; I just wanted space." he repeats: ''WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' 'do you always scream at customers? do you think i want to shop here now?' he's a broken record, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' he is incredibly hostile, irrationally so. meanwhile, none of the other employees seem to think this inappropriate. i will admit, i lost my cool here and crossed a line. i told him to go fuck himself. to this another employee says, 'well now we're not going to sell you anything'. my reply, 'fuck all of you too; i do not want to shop here!' i am sorry that i swore at you all, but the outright disrespect and hostility i encountered pushed me over the edge. BUYER BEWARE. STAY AWAY.

There was so much to look through, & the place was packed and really well stocked. 1 thing I really liked was seeing all the friendly vendors throughout the store giving out free samples of different spirits. It made walking around & browsing a little more fun, especially w/ so many different brands to check out. The prices were ok, but I'd say they lean more toward the higher side. You can def find some good deals, though, especially if you catch one of their sales. The cashier wasn't the friendliest or patient, which was prob the only negative part of my visit. Other than that, I had no complaints. The store was huge, packed w/ products, well stocked,& had plenty to look at. Def a place where you can walk in for 1 thing & somehow spend way more time browsing than you planned.

And I like how they do tastings. During this visit, I was looking for a rum to make piña coladas, and one of the associates in the aisle helped me choose one. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the decision easy. I also appreciate that they carry products you don't always find at smaller liquor stores. While I enjoy shopping here, I do prefer the Milford location when it comes to the craft beer singles selections. A big downside was at checkout. I had just gotten a new phone and hadn't finished setting up my Apple Wallet, so paying took a little longer than expected. Unfortunately, the cashier didn't seem very patient, which made the interaction feel a bit rushed and weird. Next time I'm in the area I'll just hold off and stop by the one in Milford which is on the way home for me anyway.
