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.

This location in Avon is located on the busy route 44. I've driven by this place many times and was finally able to stop in. The parking lot was spacious. We were looking for ingredients to make Irish coffees for Thanksgiving. We found some of the ingredients easily and the prices were decent. They had a vast selection of wines, spirits, and beers.
