So, their selection is pretty darn good. The prices are decent, honestly. Everything has gone up lately with inflation being what it is. They are about on track with similar shops in Crofton. The service... it depends on who is working, I guess. The last time we visited, the staff there were pretty cool. The cashier offered my daughter a lollipop as they keep them there for kids. So, no real complaints I guess. I feel like service has gotten better over the years. Overall, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a wine & spirit shop. Great selection, decent prices, good service... just all around solid.

Public Humiliation! Terrible Experience! Hold Up Alarm!…read more I have been a patron of this store for years. Beverages for family gatherings and gifts are typically purchased from this store as there is a nice selection and, typically, the service and helpfulness of the employees is stellar. However, they have lost my business! While checking out, the cashier, M. Patel, was having a hard time with the credit card machine and ran my card 4-5 times. I politely asked him to confirm my card would not be charged every time he ran it. He apologized quite a few times and said, "I am confused today." I was then informed my card was charged more than once. I asked him to credit the overages. Concerned with his incompetence, as it had taken about 10 minutes for him to ring up the sale (with four other people waiting patiently) I asked for the credit receipt. He asked me why I needed it. Seconds later, he said, "Check her. I think she has a gun." To my surprise, I turned around to see a police officer standing behind me. M. Patel pushed the hold up alarm!! Two other officers entered the store. M. Patel then proceeded to tell the officer to check all the people in the store for guns. The officer responded that he could not search people randomly and violate rights. The officer commented the day before M. Patel pushed the hold up alarm and the police responded. One officer asked for the manager or owner. M. Patel said he is the owner--which is not true. He refused to share the name of the owner, but said his father owns the store. M. Patel is ridiculous and completely inappropriate. I have never had an experience as the one I encountered at this store. It was humiliating and completely unwarranted. What a waste of precious police resources. I hope he has to pay false alarm charges because it is evident he doesn't understand the criticality of pushing the hold up alarm. During the humiliating incident, customers were putting down their soon-to-be purchases and walking out of the store. So, M. Patel clearly created a negative environment and lost business because of his antics. To add to the distress of the situation, my card was still charged more than once.

The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and helped me find exactly what I was looking for without any hassle.

I never felt rushed, and the team made the shopping experience smooth and enjoyable. As for the Sable Bourbon -- excellent choice. Smooth, bold, and perfect for a special occasion toast. It truly lives up to the name "Best Man's Bourbon." If you're in Bowie and need quality spirits with friendly service, Ripps is definitely a go-to spot.

They've got a great selection of wines and everything is easy to locate in the store. Not sure if anyone else cares about this, but I love when a place just "makes sense" with the way they layout their inventory. When you walk in, you're able to easily find what you're looking for here, be it rosé, box wines, liquor, etc. Perhaps my favorite thing about this place is the "Mix n Match" wall in the back. You can create your own six pack and try out new beers a la carte. I've grabbed some as stocking stuffers, some have upgraded to our regular rotation, and some I just admire for the punny names and artwork. Plus, they carry products from local breweries.
