The craft beer selection is always changing and they seem to add on the latest and great releases by a lot of the local breweries. I also tend to bring wine to family functions and the staff are able to help me with my decision in pairing certain wines with a dish for the function that evening. It does help that I live in the neighborhood, so I may be a little biased. However do I recommend you stop in for some local craft beers if your visiting the area!! Cheers

I walked to the back of the store to get a case of Angry Orchard and when I got to the register, the cashier, Susan rudely asked me if I was with a gentleman that she just had refused service to. I didn't enter the store with him, I didn't have any interaction with him and I didn't know him. But Susan rudely said to me " Are you with him because if you are I'm not serving you". I was taken off guard because what would give her the idea to ask me that but beside s the color of my skin. He was a black man and l'm a black woman, so in her mind I was with him. It wasn't so much the question that bothered me, it was her tone toward me and the fact that she profiled me. She was nasty and I took that question as her being a bit racist. She did not ask the white male or white female that walk in before me were they with the black gentleman she refused service, but she asked me. It's 2025 and people are still practicing their racist believes. If you are going to be in a customer position you should treat all people with dignity and respect. I will not be returning to that store ever again.

We found this place by sheer chance. One day I was sitting around on Facebook and I stumbled upon…read moretheir page because they had a sponsored ad with a White Merlot tasting. Intrigued, I dug further and found out they are local in New London, and offer free beer and wine tastings every Friday night! Excited, I put it on our calendars, and counted down the days. Located in the heart of downtown new london, walking distance from the amtrak station and the city center, Thames is the only craft liquor store for many miles. Parking on the street has never been a problem for me, but may become so if their popularity increases. The store itself is well organized, with an entry area with a deli feel, stocked with craft cheeses and meats. This area is also where they taste their beers, and provide wonderful food pairings. Behind the food area is a boutique area with a case of chocolates and gifts surrounding it, along with cigars and a cold case of rosés. Alongside this area is another long room with the spirits, beers and wines. This is where the wine tasting is located, and features vintages from all over the world. I have been very pleased with the suggestions from staff on our purchases, and have yet to leave with a bottle of something that I dislike. They do have some amazing items we return for repeatedly, like the Tonic syrup to make custom gin and tonics, and many not-to-miss California reds. Downsides are price, which seems high comparatively across the board, and sometimes selection, which rotates constantly. If you're trying for something specific, they may be out and offer something similar which I think is fun but may be annoying to some.

I had to pick up some Twisted Tea & Bud Lite Lime recently (NOT for me) & they had both. Grand Spirits offers a Beer Club e-mail list for their more elusive offerings. If you want something like Lawson's Sip 'O Sunshine or Ghandi Bot you'll get occasional e-mails & if you respond in time then they will hold you some at one of their 3 locations. Making everyone happy isn't an easy thing to do but I think their Beer Club mailing list is the most diplomatic way of making sure everyone has an equal chance at getting great beer. Not everything is crazy tough to get but I do like that they try to distribute it to everyone. Prices are reasonable & there's a decent craftbeer selection. It's especially helpful to pop into Grand Spirits for a cold one since Chester's next door is BYOB!

Windjammer Wine & Spirits is a decent local package store that fills a useful niche in the area…read more The standout feature here is easily the wine selection--it's surprisingly broad for a smaller shop, with a range that covers everyday bottles, reliable mid‑tier picks, and a few interesting finds you don't always see in neighborhood stores. If you're a wine shopper, this is probably one of the better stops around. The rest of the experience, though, lands squarely in the middle. The staffing is pretty "meh"--not rude, just not particularly engaged or enthusiastic. You can get what you need, but you're not likely to get recommendations, conversation, or that warm, local‑shop feel that makes a place memorable. Pricing is so‑so as well. Nothing outrageous, but nothing that makes you feel like you're getting a great deal either. It's the kind of store where you grab what you need because it's convenient, not because it's the best value in town. Overall, Windjammer is a solid 3‑star stop: reliable, convenient, and especially strong for wine, but with room to improve in service and pricing. A decent local option that could easily shine brighter with a little more attention to the customer experience. Cheers

Unfortunately when I walked in, the first thing I noticed was what hit me, fast. I was hit in the face by the most awful, rank, dirty, bar smelling odor I have smelled in a very long time. The store did not like it was it looked like it was taken care of very well. It looks good from the outside but the inside is definitely need of some love and care. Just saying. And as I was walking out , Because they did not have any skinny margarita, another person walked in and made the same face that I know that I had when I walked in as well.
