Friendly booze shop with long lines. Staff are helpful and polite. Stateline is accessible and its shelves are full. Review: 5 read more

I was very impressed with their broad selection of craft beers, wine and spirits. I was on my ever expanding search for unique & local craft beer. In the area I hoped to find Big Elm, Kent Falls, Black Hog just to name a few. No disappointment, plus numerous others. Tucked away in a very unassuming plaza beside a Stop & Shop. So if you're ever passing through North Canaan, East/West on Route 44 or North/South on Route 7 give State Line Wine & Spirits a "Look-See." read more

Stateline Wine & Spirits - Loved finding some local representation in stock, including Kent Falls & Black Hog. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Canaan, Connecticut

Admittedly, I'm not a huge drinker. I love a cocktail, a glass of wine, or a bottle of good hard cider every down and then. That being said, it's rare that I go into any sort of liquor store, short of buying a bottle of wine for a friends or for a party. While home for Thanksgiving, I got a craving for a hard cider, and decided just to pop in. "Why the hell not, right? There's a Bud Light neon sign in the window. They must have SOMETHING...", I thought. Located in the town's shopping plaza nestled between Super Stop & Shop and the ever-classy Family Dollar, Stateline Wine & Spirits actually made me do a double-take! A little sterile-looking inside, but the selection was beyond what I was expecting or could comprehend right away! The middle was filled with said wines and spirits, while the rear had fridges full of (primarily) craft beers and ciders. They had a bottle of Woodchuck Cellar Series Smoked Apple. (WHAT. THE. EFF?!) They also had other Woodchuck brands, McKenzie's, and even Crabbie's Ginger Beer! If only they had loose bottles of them in the fridge near the front entrance, I would have been an even happier customer! (I don't want a loose bottle of Miller Lite, thank you...) The staff was very nice; when making a comment about the small nips of Absolut Cilantro, the woman at the register looked at me and stated, "Yeah, that's not appealing. I've just been telling people to add it to their salsa." (It evoked a good chuckle from both of us.) Well, I walked out with that special bottle of Woodchuck and a bottle of Doc's Hard Cider for good measure. I also walked out impressed. Glad to know that on the rare occasion I need a alcohol boost when visiting my parents (...no, I love them enough that I don't need "medicine" to make it through a visit home. Ha!), I know where to go. This place is pretty fantastic! read more

Awesome selection of craft beers but watch pricing. Twice I have chosen a 12 pack that looked good and was priced right but at the check out it was $1 more. When questioned the staff were not very friendly and noted that it had been incorrectly labeled in the case along with the other two remaining cases. The beer labeled was actually out on the floor unchilled. Similar but not exactly the same. Most retail stores would give you the benefit of the doubt and charge the marked price. Not the case; I was made to feel, in an unfriendly. not caring way, that it was my mistake and not theirs. I will not hurry back. read more

Stateline is the best liquor store in a 10 mike radius. This place is where you want to go if you're picking up anything from a six pack, to a handle of Bacardi. They just did a renovation on their store, so it has a big selection and it's clean and welcoming. Everyone there is very helpful and will get you through fast and work with you to figure out the best craft brew or deal for you to walk out of the store with. There are a couple of young guys there that do a great job of making sure you're satisfied with your purchase and take the time to be helpful and attentive. This is where I buy all my alcohol and I'm gonna keep it that way, thanks Stateline Liquor and Wine! read more

I live over in Sharon and while we have a package store that is decent, I make sure to stop here after I'm done food shopping at Stop & Shop. They have craft beer here you won't find anywhere in the area. Victory Dirt Wolf? Check. Various Lagunitas, a Stone IPA variety pack and I'm only getting started. The selection is amazing for the area. Lagunitas Sucks in a liter bottle? YES PLEASE! The beer selection alone makes the place. I have yet to buy liquor here but I'm sure the selection has to be as impressive as the beer's. read more

Something of a hidden gem, I would say. I came in here randomly one time and was amazed by the selection. Tons of US micros, lots of regional stuff, and a nice range of imports as well. Coolest thing I've bought here was Imperial Stout Trooper. The store is first and foremost a liquor store but they dedicate at least 1/6 of the store (and it's a BIG store) to beer. The staff is friendly. The prices are decent. This store is located right next to the huge Stop & Shop in Canaan. It is definitely worth your while to check this place out if you are traveling around the northwest corner of CT. read more

I will probably not go back to Stateline after the sixth or seventh attempt to get two items that they do not carry. Since Baileys came out with a salted caramel flavor, I have tried repeatedly to go in and ask for it. Each and every time no one has made any attempt to try to find out for me when and if they would be getting it again? I have asked repeatedly. This is a shame as I would have bought several bottles and stocked up on it if they needed to order a minimum. I had to find it in Torrington even though this liquor store is on my way home. I was also looking for Hickory Ledges-Pete's Maple 80 flavored moonshine. My boyfriend is a huge fan of this flavor and we buy a great deal of it, but not from here. I was told there was not enough request for that flavor from this company. Each and every time no one has offered to get something for me, I find this really unusual since their location in Winsted carries these items. No one has made any effort to say they could transfer something or look into getting it. They just seem disinterested. I have bought expensive custom Bourbons from them. And have tried to patronize this business. But the staff I have been able to converse with seem kind of young and not interested in going out of their way to ask someone else. So tonight was the last straw I thought I'd go in again and check for the salted caramel Baileys that I like to have on a Friday night in my coffee. I asked a guy who was putting some bottles up near the Baileys. I saw that all the Bailey's had been restocked since the last time I was in there but no salted caramel flavor . I asked him why they don't carry it and he said "no one likes it" I said "well, I know a lot of people who like it and drink it regularly" and his response was "well maybe you should bring them in here and get them to ask for it" Really?!?!?! Nope. This place does not cater to it's customers desires. I guess I will cease to try. Not accommodating. I'll stick with the little Indian liquor store next to Angie's diner in Torrington. They fall all over themselves asking if they can order what you're looking for. That reminds me .... I also asked for a ginger Liquor and they also did not have that (or offer to get it) but the little liquor store I normally go to got it for me. read more
