I can't say Total Wine & More in Uptown Albuquerque, NM, had everything I wanted - because they didn't - but close enough. I like the organization of this chain every time I walk inside. This location was clean, organized, and always had nice attentive employees ready to assist. I came here on November 26, 2025 hoping to find Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey for my brother and girlfriend for Christmas. They had a bottle, but not the less expensive one they would want. So my sales guy gave me other recommendations that worked just fine. The young lady at the register was nice, but not as fast as the other employees. Parking was a bit tight but I think this was due to the hustle and bustle of the then approaching Thanksgiving holiday. read more

It's rare to not be able to find what you're looking for here. And remember to ask. I have found some very knowledgeable, friendly staff here. They really train them well here! There is only one item I'm not been able to find (and it's not that obscure): Das Komet! Great place when you're looking for ordinary or exquisite. read more

Great place until the start of their card-everyone policy. An insult to those of us who are three times past the age of twenty-one. Which is why the six (sometimes eight) of us in our geriatrics group no longer shop there, Not that such will make much difference in their bottom line. read more

Highs and lows, but overall First I was pleasantly greeted by security who upon seeing my Nordstrom rack shopping bag took it from me and secured it behind the counter! Im sure he thought he'd look better in Maggie London dress, and you know what, I'm sure he was right! Had a fantastic experience but one employee kinda ruined it. I asked for her help but was rudely shushed as she was making what looked like a personal call in the middle of the aisle. Alas the other employee I found was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. And cheerfully answered all my questions! Ya win some, ya loose some! read more

I walked to Total Wine & More from my hotel, close to a mile away. I didn't bring my ID, and they refused to sell me a bottle of wine. I'm 50+. They do have a nice selection, as the name implies. I went to Target and was able to purchase a nice Sauvignon Blanc. read more

Stop in to get some gentlemen jack. The employees are always helpful at total wine. Costco used to carry this but no longer do. If you like jack daniels this is the better choice in my opinion. read more

They have got EVERYTHING in several sizes too! All the beers and imported beers are separated so no trying to find the imported ones. The service was great! Lots of people working the aisles if you needed help. They also carry THC drinks which I didn't know about. Highly recommend this store in ABQ read more

Employees talking in the way barely said hi had to get on my knees to get a wine that was all the way pushed to the back. Everyone was great besides the cashier huge septum and attitude if you don't like your job please get a new read more

I was looking for the tequila section. GT was kind enough to show me where to find the 818 brand I was looking for...then we started discussing what we liked. GT recommended the Gonzalez Anejo. He was then kind enough to offer a tasting. I tried the repososado and then the Anejo. I did enjoy the Anejo better than the one I had been purchasing. He started talking to me about the fact that Total Wine does tastings on their products. Certain bottles with the yellow crowns were usually available for the tasting during the scheduled times. Then GT explained how I could sign up. He went above and beyond. The kind of employee I always wanted in my business. Give him a raise! He generated more business from me. read more

A friend and I attended their holiday pairing event, 20 dollars and so fun! They had a huge charcuterie board, and about 10 different alcohols to taste. The variety of alcohol to choose from is insane! You can't go wrong with choosing them for your alcohol purchases. Max and J were the hosts who hosted the event and big shout out to them! Definitely try out one of their events! read more

Coming here in the middle of the afternoon on New Year's Eve is like visiting a toy store on Christmas Eve. It was packed! But instead of frantic, stressed individuals, the patrons were happy and loved shopping for ordinary and extraordinary alcoholic beverages. We were on a quest for El Padrino, Reposadra. The Blanc was on the end of an aisle. We had to go down the aisle to find it. No worries. We also looked for Coors Light, and one of the friendly employees guided us to it. Prices are great here, by the way. Check out lanes were not too long, and while waiting in line, we engaged in conversations about our selections with others waiting for a cashier. Our cashier was patient and friendly. When we asked if they'd close early (nope) or close tomorrow (nope), he told us employees only have one holiday off a year - Christmas. I hope Total Wine treats their employees well because they are a treasure! read more

I was out front at the benches texting with my friend about what to get at the store. The security guard came up and was like are you ok. It was like he thought I was up to something as I had the audacity to sit at the benches they provided for customers. I was minding my own business and he had no reason to come up to me or even engage with me. I was immediately made uncomfortable. How dare I sit at a public bench - WTF! Then when I got the info I needed from my friend the same security person was all weird with me because I had a bag. I was like I'm happy to check it no big deal. Seriously bro dude must be super insecure what a jerk. I complained and originally got flack from the Total Wine employee. Another employee came over and I explained the security guard was harassing me for sitting at public bench and how stupid that was. Honestly Total Wine you are going to have a bench in front of your store but mess with people for sitting there. Ridiculous If you don't want someone sitting there don't have a bench- seems like a very simple concept. I'm now at the side of the building in the shade waiting 12 min for my Uber. I came over to this side so Mr. Power trip wouldn't get cranky that I was waiting on a bench - gasp! Geez never shopping here or at any TWaM again totally militant and stupidly ridiculous. Avoid this spot they are super reactionary and rude. read more

I live closer to the location near cottonwood but decided to check this one out on a whim. I love it just the same as the other location.

Total Wine & More in Albuquerque NM. Open on a SUNDAY, so that I can grab something to take to my hotel ...!! The interest thing about entering this location was that security asked me to leave my backpack at the counter while shopping. On problem as I follow the rules. The people here were nice and helpful so I was in and out quickly. The lady at check out was also nice and concerned as I mentioned that I was walking a few blocks to my hotel. It was a cold night in the 40's so she said she was glad that I was wearing a jacket. As was I. Thanks Total Wine and New Mexico law for selling liquor on Sunday. read more

Unfortunately, they have everything This is the Nora location. I can't speak about the uptown Boulevard. But anything like the Nora location I can't go in without spending several hundred dollars! For the reason I try not to go in read more

Good selection of reds, great prices! The red pinot I like is $6 less than where I live- nice! They also had a good range of wines, from higher-end ones (to celebrate getting out of the hospital) to ones you drink when it's still a week til payday :) . Good location, easy parking, nice people. read more

Wonderful selection of all things spirits. The staff is so friendly and eager to help you find what you're looking for. I stop here for all our cocktail needs . read more

Everything is always good. Selection and consistency are the best.! Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.! The cigar shop is a bonus.! Thanks

Dropping a star for no lebronnessy but the service here was amazing shoutout to the staff

My favorite place to buy any Spirit. They have a great selection of non alcohol cocktails, wines and beers. The biggest selection of wines. read more

I appreciate the quality this store offers and ease of location. It wasn't messy and the staff were kind and helpful. The amount of quality local options is really good! I would choose this store over all other locations just for how clean it is! read more

This place has gone so far downhill in wine selection. It's flooded with budget bin wine with double-digit prices. Chilean or Argentinian wines? Good luck. It's packed with Italian garbage wines. Used to be a 12% wine would be scoffed at, now it's $25. Two stars for selection, so I'll give them that, but deducting three for overpricing and trying to push garbage wines they used to laugh at. read more

I'm not a big drinker. Usually the free taste of wine at Olive Garden is enough to satisfy me for a bit. But when I do want a glass or two of wine, I want to buy a really nice bottle of wine and I want to get it for the absolute best price. I really love Total Wine and More. I was there on their opening day and I've never been disappointed by them. They have regular free tastings of wine AND beer that have helped me discover some fantastic vintages that I never would have tried on my own. The staff is really knowledgeable about their products and always helpful with a recommendation as well. They have honest descriptions posted with the wines. Also, if the price ends in a seven, it is the absolute lowest price available and therefore not coupon eligible. It's an easy system to use! Otherwise they have a great loyalty program and a mix and match offer! Their selection is extensive and cannot be matched in the area. Their prices are also the best. They have some really fun classes too. They also sell all liquors, snacks, and cigars too. read more

Clean, well stocked snd staffed. Easy in and out, even during the balloon festival!!!

They have everything this year !! Coquito limited edition available yum !! I'll go back any day they have many selection s!!

Richard was amazing and helped us find everything we needed! He was knowledgeable and kind! Hope to see him again

Poor service:( we got kicked out for "appearing to have already had some alcohol",yes, yes we did, one wine bottle between 2 people._. & we were looking for more ...but we found a neat bar instead--- check out Alien Pub for the cool Vibes But for real, y'all did not have rowdy customers on your hands, it sucks you had poor judgement but perhaps youve had too many bad encounters in the past , no se read more

This was the second time of having a very disappointing experience at this specific store. Overall the store is a bit pricier than most supermarkets and some other liquor stores. Therefore, you'll be reimbursed with a wide selection and usually find what you're looking for. But, beware! At this store it happened twice that I was charged for more than what I actually bought. First time I had a pretty big bill and didn't notice initially. This time I didn't notice in the store either. But, when I received a msg about what was charged to my CC I realized that I was ripped off again, unless the tax was suddenly increased to over 30%!!!! My bill before tax was $46.80. But, I was charged $65.10, about $15 (30%) more than what it should have been. Considering that this happened twice to me and once to a friend this seems to be common practice for that store in uptown. read more

I went in to get some wine for a dinner party and I had my little sister with me. Obviously I wouldn't leave her in the car so I brought her in with me. I am of age to drink, however the guy stopped us and asked if I was her mother. I told him I wasn't but I was her "guardian" for today. He told us he would not serve us even after I said my little sister could wait in the car. He was super rude and told us to leave the store immediately. This does not follow the law in NM! Terrible service and stuck up employees. They lost my business but I found a great local winery in old town read more

I originally avoided this place, thinking that a speciality liquor store would be much more expensive than a typical grocery market, like Whole Foods. I was clearly proven wrong with my visit last night. Not only is their selection vast, it's also neatly organized via sections! The beer section was incredible... they even had a separate "seasonal" shelf, where I picked up an interesting chocolate-orange beer. The prices are fair, and they offer a rewards program! The employees are super friendly and knowledgeable, providing insight into their personal preferences. I had a hard time deciding which chocolate beer was better, with all the choices, and was able to narrow down the options with the help of one of them. I'm not a huge fan of alcohol, yet I know that this will be a reliable place for gifts and spontaneous beer/wine tastings in the future. read more

We held a wine tasting on Sunday. Eric, our guide through California, provided so much rich history of the region, information on wine making and types of wine and many other tidbits of his knowledge. I did not know what to expect, but Eric far exceeded anything I had in mind! And the wine was great, too! read more

I love the lower prices! Not very impressed with the customer service. Almost every time I'm here the cashier(s) is a bit rude. Also wish they would keep my favorite wine in stock... read more

It's tough to write this out loud, but Albuquerque needed this franchise. As a general note, dear reader, if you care about supporting local shops that truly know the civic booze landscape, you gotta head to Jubilation, prices are comparable and the service simply beats what you'll get at Total Wine. But when it comes to selection... Look, you should probably peruse other reviews, I buy two basics in this place: foreign beer (which rarely ever meets or beats what I can find locally) and bulk wine/liquor. The latter is simply way more affordable, with more to pick from, great for parties and celebrations. One other note: the parking lot can be a major bear, consider grabbing a shady spot at the neighboring lot, west. And always consider tacos. They're to the east. read more

This place is enormous. Never been in one before but found exactly what I was looking for very easily. I feel like they literally have everything. read more

If it's hard to find in the beer, cider, wine or liquor categories then you'll probably find it here at Total Wine & More. Located directly across the street from ABQ Uptown and just south of Coronado Mall, this place is conveniently located on Louisiana and I-40. I know it's a chain but I love it. Too many treats and so little time. Yes, you should shop for spirits here ... especially if you lack some spirit! (See what I did there?) read more

The one stop shop for all your alcohol needs. Entering the place feels like being a kid in the candy store. They've got a little bit of something for just about everyone who drinks. From wine, to hard liquor, to beer, to kitchen essentials, even snacks, non alcoholic beverages, and mixes. They've got it all for you ultimate party or Netflix and chill nights. I don't often, but when I do I prefer local breweries for my beer. Unfortunately I can't always go to them so luckily they carry them at the store. They have canned and bottled packs of Marble, La Cumbre, Santa Fe Brewing, Steel Bender, and so many more local breweries along with imported, and domestic beers such as Blue Moon, Budweiser, etc. they have a large selection of different liquor ranging from Rum, Whisky, Tequila, Gin and so many others. They have a large selection of great wines red or white depending on your preference. They even have a special room for cigars for those of you who partake. I am not a smoker so I wouldn't know the types they carry. Price wise these guys pretty reasonable. They do carry top shelf liquors, and those can be costly. Whatever your poison is they most likely got it. They also carry wine glasses, novelties, and even cool kitchen accessories and nick knacks that could come in handy. Personally if your looking to buy Handles of liquor, I recommend going to Costco or Sams because you'll find a much better deal at the wholesale stores for the larger quantity size. Non the less it's a great store with something for everyone! read more

Looking for wine, this is the place to come to. So many options available, I feel like it's so hard to choose from!

We enjoyed the Created by Craftswomen class, which focused on the top women whisky blenders in their industry. It was a remote live feed from the Billeit Distillery in Kentucky. They had a cheese and meat tray to pair with the different whiskeys we were sampling. The guest speakers were very insightful in each of their products. We sampled 9 different whiskeys, all of top quality. The whiskey industry is booming and it's nice to see women in high ranking positions within their companies. The staff at Total Wine were very professional, educated on the products, and coordinated they event very nicely. Total Wine and More is always hosting different classes and it's always been a fun experience for us. read more

Acting on a recommendation on where to get local beer, I came here in the search for Albuquerque breweries! This is the place. They had a better beer selection than any other store I went to. They had all the major New Mexican breweries available, with selections ranging from 12 packs to single individual beers. They had about twenty varieties of New Mexican beers. They even had Hatch Green Chile beer. I opted for a variety of Santa Fe Brewery and a smattering of Marble and Tractor Brewing. I was proud to walk out of here with a sixer of the Marble Double Wit, which was awarded gold at the GABF! Many of the beers were stored warm, but they offer a chiller at the doorway, where you can toss a few beers (or a bottle of wine) into there to get it chilly in no time. I enjoy how they have little cards by some of the beers that tell you what to expect from the beer. Additionally, they have free beer guides at the entrance to get info on what's happening with free samplings and what to look for in a beer. The staff was available and friendly. It was a bit of a pain to move their ladders that they park in front of the merchandise to access the best beers. When I was checking out, they made sure to offer all kinds of boxes to pack by beers in. I told them that I'd be flying home with the beer, and they made sure to help me with extra boxes and cardboard dividers to ensure safe transit of the beers. Parking was easy, be sure to park on the south side of the building for easy access. It's located right across from Coronado Mall. read more
