Eh. High prices, nothing special selection wise, nobody spoke to me so I can't really speak on the service.

Loved this shop in Old City. A great variety of beer, wine, and spirits and a knowledgable and friendly staff. Wine on tap, build your own pack of beer, and even canned cocktails. Unique varieties that you can't find anywhere else. They will do tastings for groups and host vendors for sample events. We will be back! read more

This is a nice little liquor store in Old Town. Selection was slim, but they had a nice display and prices seemed fine. Nothing allocated, just basics. read more

They allowed my pup to come in and even gave him a treat! The woman behind the counter was lovely and helped me find what I needed.

Store is fine. The woman opening the store was about as rude as could be. You should also update hours on google maps as they are incorrect.

Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff who are able to make solid recommendations. They're also dog-friendly!! My pups always get treats when they come here (and I suppose I do too!). read more

Corks Wine & Spirits - a dog in front of a store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Wine in tap?! Yes please. Came across this place one night and they had a variety of wines to select from and then explained to us how the wine on tap works. You can also recycle the bottles and reuse it and get an additional discount. Definitely my new go to place for wine. read more

Excellent !! We come Here and always get the best suggestions on wine pairings with our dinner choices and occasional special "invites". read more

Knowledgable staff, and the collection of natural wines is a highlight.

We are frequent shoppers here, which is a little scary to say! The selection of wine is hands down the best you'll find in Knoxville, it's carefully selected by the awesome team that runs the store, some of which are sommeliers. I never know what I want so I tend to ask what they recommend with whatever dinner I'm having and they have yet to steer me wrong! They're all incredibly friendly and personable, and we certainly will go out of our way to make sure we're buying from here. They have an excellent beer and liquor selection, and now they have not only draft beer to fill up a growler with (they've got two sizes available and rotating beers with the seasons) they also have house wine on tap as well! I'd never seen that before. To top it off they carry all the goods you need to make an awesome mixed drink; stuffed olives, locally made syrups (the Eli Mason Old Fashioned mix and Mint Julep mix are amazing! Which is saying a lot because we make ours the traditional way usually) and specialty glasses. read more

Great selection, pretty space, and helpful service. What more could you want from a beer, wine, and liquor store? How about samples from the 20 or so taps on the wall? Corks has more than a dozen wines and a handful of beers on tap. They'll be happy to let you taste them until you find the one, or two or three, that you like. It's great to have this alternative to Downtown Wine & Spirits; it's definitely worth the walk down Summit Hill. It's exactly what downtown and the Old City need. read more

Corks Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Way overpriced honestly. Fancy selection that basically dictates you pay more. Worked at Turkey Creek Wine & Spirits for 4 years. Trust me, this is overpriced for even Farragut. Very nice staff though! read more

I'm a downtowner. I drive around my little 5-mile radius in Knoxville and can't think of many reasons to ever have to leave my happy, little bubble. West Knoxville is just not my jam. I don't like the traffic or the excess of chain businesses. Enter Corks Wine & Spirits. There is nothing like this place anywhere else in Knoxville. You get that sense from the first second that you walk in the door. The shop is beautiful. It's like a wine showroom. The staff is very friendly and they know their stuff. They are good about letting you do your thing, but if you have questions they are happy to throw some wine knowledge at you. Their selections hail from all over the globe and are available at price points that make any wallet comfortable. My mind was blown when I learned about their wines on tap. You read that correctly; They have wine on tap. They offer 16 different wines that you can purchase in liter size growlers. The best part about that is that you can sample the wine before you purchase it to make sure you like it before committing to an entire bottle. If you see me driving on the highway towards West Knoxville, stay out of my way. I'm on a wine mission. read more

Don't come in here if you're looking for Budweiser or a cheap box of wine. This is not that kind of store. I love this place. I don't even live out west, but I will make the trip to go to Corks. All of the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but Tony, especially, is The Man to See. Dinner party with a five course menu and need some ideas of what to pair? They know what you need. Something to sip casually at home with your significant other on a Friday night? They have just the thing for that occasion too. The wine selection is vast and they carry a lot of stuff you're not going to find anywhere else. They also have wine on tap, which is both fun and delicious. There's a nice selection of liquor and beer as well; the selection is smaller, but all quality stuff. They offer wine classes every month, too. These are great, because you get the opportunity taste stuff you probably wouldn't otherwise normally try and it's not at all intimidating if you're a noob to the world of wine. read more

Wow, what amazing service, Johnathan and Ethan went over and above definitely to infinity and beyond to provide me with out of this world service! Thanks to expert guidance while picking out the perfect gift for my Brother's Birthday to the delivery of that gift. All that and more as I was not even in the state at the time! Thank you, guys for the best customer care I have ever received! This is the way the world should be. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We wandered in here on our way to Publix and noticed a sign advertising a South African wine tasting. Heyoooooooooooo... What a beautiful space! If only all liquor/wine stores were this lovely... everything is so pleasantly organized and spaced on the shelf that you really want to take the time to look at everything, even if there's no way in Hades you're gonna take home a quart of moonshine or a bottle of horchata liqueur. This is where the 5 star rating pops in! The bourbon and single malt selection is terrific. There were so many unique items here that I had never seen, and what's more is that the owner took the time to walk us through his offerings and make recommendations based off what we said we enjoyed. But more importantly, the WINE. First off, the South African wine selection is one of the best I've seen anywhere in the States. And again, bonus on the tasting! But even better, everything I asked - do you have a chenin blanc? do you have a sancerre? do you have a french rose? - was met with at least one option, if not more. Perfect. And what's better? He was right - the Whispering Angel rose he recommended really is one of the best roses I've ever ever had. YAY! This is exactly the type of liquor store that Knoxville needs: terrific selection, a warm inviting space, and folks that will help you find exactly what you need without breaking your bank. I will definitely return when I'm back in town to see what new offerings they have! read more

What a cute little wine and liquor shop! They seem to have an amazing wine selection, and my boyfriend found a wine he has been looking for for a year (that we cannot find in our hometown of Asheville!)They also have an excellent choice of liquor as well, with quality spirits for reasonable prices. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well. They have wine tastings upon request and scheduled on occasion as well. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Never noticed this place until today. We love wine from different countries. This establishment is very nice and very clean. It has a great assortment of wine. The staff was very knowledgable and the prices were what to be expected in Turkey Creek but, not overly priced. Reasonable. Will be returning here. read more

Nice selection but way overpriced Working in the wine and spirits industry in Chicago I know what prices should be and this place was much higher than even Chicago prices. read more

This store is A+. They feature so many good wines and liquors. They also have an ever-expanding selection of bitters, tonics, notions, and potions to satisfy the home mixologist in you. Sign up for their email list to get the (frequent and good) specials, and announcements for tastings, which are always cool. read more

Well, apparently you can't buy wine in grocery stores in Tennessee, so I was happy to find this gem next to Publix. They have a HUGE wine selection, and the bottles range in prices so anyone shopping on a budget can find some wine, too. The staff was really nice AND knowledgable about wine. I also experience a tasting of some very interesting (and tasty) wines. This very clean business will definitely get my business again! read more

Superb wine store with a great selection and staff who really know what they're talking about. Their website shows them to be highly educated in wine and the wine industry. Everything they recommended to us was very good, and they respected our price point. It's slightly more expensive than other wine stores in the area, but I'm not sure you can find this level of expertise elsewhere. read more

Amazing selection! These guys have wine I've never seen before in the entire state! They also have half bottles which are great if you wanna try a really good wine without breaking the bank. Prices are great too- most notable wines I saw were 5-10% cheaper than I've seem around town. Tried the daily tasting too and although I didn't love them- the atmosphere, music, & decor were perfect! I described what I did like and they found a few good fits. Customer service was 5 star. I'll be back here for sure read more

Fantastic wine shop, great and knowledgable staff, and regular tastings! Highly recommended!

Staff is super knowledgeable. Stopped on our way home to Michigan and picked up some craft beers not available in our area. Great store.

Walk in the door and you are greeted by the most beautiful and friendly puppy. It only gets better. The selection of wine is great if you are picking up a bottle. But the best part for me was doing the tastings from their wine on tap. Several varieties I had not tasted but glad I did. Love the eco friendly reusable bottles. I wish more paces provided that option. read more

They have a good selection of wine and spirits, and a decent selection of high gravity beer. I was pretty turned off by the place after I asked them to start carrying a high gravity hard cider. I even brought them a 22 oz bottle to try. They never called me after so I visited the store and it was as if I were a stranger and they had only a vivid memory of me bringing the bottle in. Again I left my contact info and am still waiting for them to get back to me. I doubt that will happen. I will not be patronizing this store in the future. There are many other establishments out there that would be happy to do business with me. Update - I have recently discovered that they do get allocation for rare bourbons but they do not sell to the public. They instead auction their rare bourbon and give a portion of the proceeds to charity. I have been told they give only 50% of their auction proceeds to charity. Pretty disappointing. I respect the other stores in the area who make the rare bourbon available to their customers and donate to charity. read more

Went into the store asked specifically for wines with very little tannins. They sold us a cheap, un-drinkable, bitter, full of tannins, bottle of wine that we paid $70. Not a place we would recommend, don't ask them to pick out a wine for you that you've never tried before. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Stopping in Knoxville as a halfway point in our trip we found this store. Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff (and wine tastings!) Made a point of stopping by on our way back (found they had one on my favorite Chilean whites in stock that I have trouble getting at home). Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

When I walked in, I didn't feel like I was in a liquor store. Instead, it was welcoming, open, not cluttered with boxes and cheesy displays. It's a little upscale but the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and helped me find a couple wines that I hadn't heard of but ended up being exactly what I was looking for for my meal that night, and the prices were great. They weren't showing me $100 bottles just because, they were showing me $10-15 bottles. They said if I hated it that I could bring it back, which is pretty cool considering I hadn't heard of these wines before. They didn't seem stuck up or like they were looking down on me at all. Some of the other stores I don't feel I can even ask the staff a question that they'll know how to answer. This place wasn't like that. I usually go to other stores closer to my home, but I was in the area. Now I will for sure make a special trip for this place. read more
