This place is the Sam's Club +. Parking is fairly easy. The lot can get full is also next to the Home Depot so. I took someone here so they can see how awesome the store was and they really loved it. The customer service is great. If one person doesn't know anything they will get you someone in that section that can assist. Today we were helped by: Shealere, Oscar and Kiara. Very helpful and knowledgeable. They rock. All the staff are helpful and good at suggesting spirits. The app is awesome!! Great coupons! You save! Overall, I don't think any wine spare store could beat this place read more

Undoubtedly the best place for all price levels of wine, etc. our preference is red blends and again, from Orin Swift Abstract to Snoop Dogs Cali Red, they have a full range of options---never disappoints and they have a loyalty program that earns points to apply to purchased and also full case discounts. read more

This is the best store for all your wine and liquor needs. The staff is so helpful with suggestions and with locating what you require. The store is clean and nicely laid out. Love the tax free as well. I totally recommend this place. Now they gave THC infused beverages which is an enhancement to there already variety of spirits read more

This is the largest Total Wine I've ever seen--not that I've seen many, but the point still stands! You can get basically anything and everything here, from beer and wine to spirits and mixers. I really appreciate how well organized the store is. Every aisle is clearly labeled by variety, region, etc. There is a section for local beers broken down by state, which is one of my favorite browsing sections. There is a huge selection of international wines. The liquors come at all price points, and you'd be hard pressed to not find something here to suit your tastes. There seem to be a lot of staff working at the store to provide recommendations, samples, and staff checkout. I mostly use the Total Wine website to browse for inventory--it's the easiest way for me to identify what I want, and then quickly find it on the shelf. If I'm looking for variety and quality, I stop by the Total Wine. read more

Biggest Total Wine I've ever been in. Wow! Amazing selection!! Loved it. Today was my first day in Delaware. It was a treat. Very helpful staff here. Tesla charging in the parking lot while you shop. Loved it! read more

Total Wine & More - Aisles and aisles of wine!! Biggest Total Wine I've ever seen. Way bigger than Vegas! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

We love Total Wine & More! It's probably good that it isn't closer to us, or we'd be there all the time. Every time we're in Total Wine, there are informal tastings, and when we ask the staff questions, they're very knowledgeable. However, this time we signed up for an hour and a half tasting class on how spirits are barrel aged. Total Wine has a spacious tasting room with high-top seating that is perfect for classes. Larry greeted us when we arrived, and everything was set up and organized. My husband and I each got a mini charcuterie box with cheese, salami, grapes, etc. There was also a booklet and pen to take notes along with a real glass you could use to pour each spirit into along with a bottle of water. We got to try 8 different spirits ranging from scotch to rum, and both Larry and his co-host were a wealth of knowledge. I love how they made the tastings interactive by asking our thoughts after each tasting. They even had a coupon for us at the end. This is why Total Wine rocks! Next, we'll try a wine class. Might I suggest they add a vodka class? read more

I love Total Wine especially the Brandywine location in Delaware. One it's tax free! Two there are tastings even on a random week day! The store is easy to navigate and is set up nice. It's big but wine, spirits and beer is separated. As we walked in there was a wine tasting and a chocolate and Peanut butter whiskey tasting. I also did a sparkling wine and aperol tasting. I found a new prosecco at this one. Total Wine has a large variety of pre made cocktails so I was able to pick up a few different ones. The parking lot is huge. Boxes are available for packing your bottles. Join the rewards program for good coupons! read more

This is my favorite thing in tax free Delaware and I sure do miss it. There is no liquor store bigger than this gem that I refer to lovingly as "Liquorland." It's right off I-95 and is easy to get in and out of. You name it, they have it! They feature local craft beer but also have a great selection of nationwide local craft beer treasures. The staff are easy to find and always helpful. See website for hours, location and more details. read more

Total Wine & More - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

I ordered online ... I didn't notice that I had made my order with the Total Wine & More on the other side of Wilmington Delaware rather than the Claymont store, which is only a few miles from my home. Oops ... my bad. So, I walked into the store with my order number and my name and my identification ready to pick up my order in seconds flat. But, the gentleman, Geoffrey, looked at the order number ... checked the computer ... looked at my name and said, "Are you sure you put an order in with us?" YES, of course I did ... look right here at the TEXT Total Wine sent me saying the order was ready ... LOOK at the e-mail confirmation that Total Wine sent to me verifying my order. OF COURSE I made an order with you ... and Geoffrey looked at my phone and he looked at the e-mail and said, "You made your order with our other Wilmington store not this one." Now, at many stores and businesses that might have been the end of the story. I would have been told that since I paid online that I would have to drive the extra 25 miles to pick up my wine at the store where I HAD MADE THE ORDER. This was not their fault ... this was not their problem but Geoffrey and his co-worker then proceeded to print out my wine order.... He said, "I think we have all of these. Do you mind waiting while I go pick up your wine?" Wait, do I mind that YOU GEOFFREY are willing to go and get the bottles I ordered online at another store for me? When I smiled, he gave me a phone number at the store where I had ordered my wine and said to call the number to cancel my order with them. I need to point out that when I arrived at the counter to pick up my wine Geoffrey was obviously on break. He had a nice cool unopened bottle of Coca Cola in his hand and sweat poured from his brow indicating that he had just stepped in from the heat of the day but he was willing to set the bottle down without taking a sip to not only answer my questions but then to go out into the store to collect the 7 bottles of wine I had ordered online at the other store. So, I guess you are realizing that this young man's service alone was worth more than a five-star rating!!! Truth is, while we were waiting for Geofrey's return with the wine numerous other employees approached me with smiles asking if they could help me. I even asked Geoffrey when he returned whether Total Wine only hires caring, nice and customer-focused employees like him. But to add to the reasons for the FIVE STARS ... Total Wine has an incredibly consumer-friendly store layout making a shopping trip an experience through the world of wine, beers, and liquor. Their website helps make shopping each (Unless of course you don't pay attention to which store you are putting your order in with. I don't know if the technology allows it but perhaps there should be a warning when they have stores relatively close to one another for the consumer to check which store they are making the purchase with (The person answering the phone at the other Wilmington store said that if he had a nickel for every shopped who ordered online from Wilmington but went to Claymont that he could retire. Believe me, I was happy to hear that I wasn't the first one.). Obviously, stores selling wine cannot have every wine produced in the world in their collections, but Total Wine offers bargain basement prices all the way up to bottles that require people like me to mortgage our homes to sample a bottle. This is a national chain and I have only visited two of their locations but I have had the same positive experience at both. So, if you don't have a wine shop to call yours ... let the friendly people of Total Wine embrace you with kindness, knowledge, and choices! read more

Total Wine & More - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

Been here for multiple classes showcasing different types of alcohol like bourbons, tequila, mezcal and cocktails. Most of the time they are led by one of the Total Wine experts like Shawn that always is informative, entertaining and we always have a good time with the many pours throughout the class. For this location for $20 you will be educated for a two hour class walking through the history of bourbons, wines, tequila, cocktails and enjoy them while you learn. The biggest takeaway that I have learned is how to enjoy the sips of harder items. DON'T INHALE WHILE YOU SIP. If you hold you breath while you sip you will not get that burn that we all get constantly traumatized about. MINDBLOWN! But other than that life changing process you will understand how the different items are created, where, how and what makes them unique as you See, Swirl, Smell and Sip! Sometimes the classes can run over and I would opt to have it start at 7pm rather than 6:30pm for those that are coming from other parts of the State or working later in the evening. You will enjoy some bites and have a water to cleanse your palate while the Total Wine staff pour the drinks right in front of you. You will leave smiling, laughing and knowing that you are leaving a little more cultured and a little more tipsy. A walk through the store before or after to chat with friends and those you met in the class is always a smart idea. Nothing wrong with roaming the aisles chatting about the next bottle to enjoy! read more

Ohhh yessss. This is my happy place. Amazingly large store with the friendliest and helpfull employees. I hope the employees realize how awesome that is for their customers. I asked a few people where things were and they gave me the exact location in this extremely large store. I was impressed. They even offered to walk me there, which is incredible these days. The selection is excellent. And of course we always leave with bottles we didn't plan on buying because the displays are so great. I am not from Delaware, but I make a special point to stop here when passing through. It is very quick and easy off of 95. read more

Great selection good prices Delaware is a lot cheaper than Pennsylvania easy access from 95 and friendly people on service

When I first walked in yesterday I wasn't sure what was going on. All of the previous wine aisles (opposite the check out lines) were completely closed off and boarded up. We wandered to the back where the beer and spirits used to be. What we discovered was a whole new Total Wine AND MORE taking shape. The beer section has been relocated and expanded. In the middle of it is now an entire display of charcuterie. Yes, I could have called it a cheese display but this set up required the use of it's fancy French name. Everything has been redone and way in the back (opposite the spirit aisles) is what looks to be the makings of a....I almost dare not say it....a BAR!!! As if all that exciting newness wasn't enough there is still the front of the store I mentioned earlier that has yet to be unveiled. I took a peek around the sides and I'm pretty sure I saw a table and chairs. This could have been a mirage as I yearn for the communal days of yore but for sure something amazing is going in there and I can't wait to see it. read more

Disneyland for wine and liquor. Prices are a bit higher. Felt like a museum + alcohol costco combined. - lots of alcohol tasting all around - lots of holiday packages for liquor - tons and tons of wine collection - tons and tons of craft beers and kegs - food, soda, mixers, and anything you can think of for a party - massive venue; bigger than a costco Overall, this place is an experience. They got wine classes, various tastings, and the largest wine selection I've seen. Prices are not the lowest, but reasonable. read more

We interacted with no less than 8 employees in various departments and aside from being helpful they were knowledgeable and willing to share. It was nice to be able to taste some of the liquors we were discussing. We left with far too many bottles that we "had" to try. read more

Long story short, this is my favorite store to come to to stock up on wine or alcohol for special occasions specifically. Staff are always there to answer your questions or help. This store is so huge inside to the average lover of wine and alchohol, this is like the Toys R Us to us all when were little kids. Your eyes will light up with joy. Positive you'll find what your looking for. Having trouble? Its staff in almost every asle to solve your problem. Very clean and haven't been back here since 2016 but just recently witnessed the new remodeled inside to date. Honestly clean and beautiful. To conclude, just want to say this is a definite go to for anybody looking for personal purchase of alchohol. One more thing, you may get everything you want but definitely should come as frequent as you possibly can cause they do have deals on specific brands that are favorites of everybody from time to time. read more

Total Wine & More - Very top shelf liquor. Patron. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

Love Total Wine & More! I've been going here for years, and honestly, no other place has the selection and variety like they do. While they are a major chain, this is the largest location I have ever been to. They have renovated and expanded their space, almost doubling its original size! If you're a true wine lover, this is place for you as wine covers over half the store. However, I keep going back here for their beer stocks. They have all the craft beer that I could dream of. They carry all the major brands, and most of the independents that distribute nationally. I can usually find at least one or two types from brands that are difficult to find more locally. My only gripe with this place is how crowded and tight the parking lot can get, which is exasperated by ongoing construction to the exterior of their building. Also a note of caution (LOL), you will probably buy more alcohol than you intended because you want to try 'this and that... and that.... and ooooo that sounds good'. read more

I love going to this store whenever I get a chance. They have a little bit of everything from wine, cigars, and of course liquor but the best part are the tastings. They have wine, whiskey, and vodka tastings at different times and also have a good rewards program. Staff are always friendly and cooperative and these are a few things we grabbed to try from there. Whenever I need something I am going there. read more

I had no idea they were remodeling this location! I haven't been here in a while and I went straight back to where my liquors of choice usually are and was greeted by a totally different situation. They are still working on a lot of other areas and I heard they are replacing coolers, etc. it's probably going to look so awesome by the end because the new sections already look fantastic! I typically enjoy coming here for the experience inside but dread coming here because the parking lot is one of the worst parking lots in the entire world. It's congested. There are people constantly panhandling. People are driving through every which way. You get stuck trying to get in and trying to get out. There's road rage. It's a nightmare..and the wawa hasn't helped. On this particular day, a Friday...a Friday before New Year's Eve...I was pleasantly surprised about how quickly I got in and out of the parking lot. The store itself wasn't super busy, either. There were plenty of staff around to assist and also to check people out (which was refreshing). I didn't have to stand in line. I walked right up, got carded and checked out. The person helping me did start to have a personal conversation with another employee but I jumped in so it didn't bother me. Lol. My husband said the box she put everything in was a bad choice. I didn't notice when I put it in the car but when he came out to bring it into the house, he noticed. There are people giving out samples of wine and beer, etc. throughout the store. Their vodka section is now up to a double sided aisle! More vodkas then you'll ever see in your life! So many choices, so little time. Their prices are good. I do always wind up leaving with more than I intended to buy just because it's so fun to go in and explore and pick up new things. They accept Apple Pay, which I appreciated. I can't wait to see the finished product after they're finished remodeling!!! read more

As you can see from my other Total Wine reviews I am a Total Wine Reserve member. I love my Total Wines. I have already visited six different Total Wine locations in NJ, NY, VA, AZ and most recently the two locations in DE. This was my first time here at this location. When I visited their smaller Midtown Shopping Center store in Wilmington an acquaintance of mine recommended I should visit their larger Claymont, Delaware store. I was driving home from New York, therefore, I decided to stop by their Claymont store. It was very easy to access the store after exiting off of I95 southbound. This was my first time here. I am glad I stopped here, because this is the largest Total Wine I have ever visited. They had the widest selection of wine, spirits, beer, cigars and related accessories I have ever seen. This may be the largest Total Wine in the United States. I used my 20% off 12 Direct wine bottles discount. My 20% discount was $55 off the $275, therefore, my net cost was only $220. I will definitely return here again if I am traveling through Wilmington, Delaware on I95. Claymont is about 15 minutes north of Wilmington. read more

There's is so much variety here and the employees are great. They are really nice and a few people just walked up and asked if we needed any help and provided great assistance. The cashier was so nice and we had a nice conversation. This is a very friendly place to shop! read more

Great selection of wine, spirits and beer. For wine, the store is remarkably well organized, and they have employees ready to help you find your desired section. If you like, say, rieslings from Alsace, there's a section for that with plenty of options and with tags that describe the flavor profiles of the options. It makes finding the right wine easy. The spirits and beer sections don't exceed the competition as much as the wine, but the selections are still very good. The employees are fairly knowledgeable, too. I used to find that their prices were much better than the competition and I no longer do, but they're still pretty affordable. It's a great place to find the beverages you seek. read more

I have been to many Total Wine & More stores but this one is in my experience very unique. First of all it was an adventure just trying to wedge into the parking lot without being run over by cars flying into and out of spaces. Walking from the car to the store was the next gauntlet! No easy task. But I must say I have never seen more people in one store in my life! It was chaos. Bedlam. The store is big. My son loves to shop there. Once was enough for me. They had several wine tastings going on which was nice and we found most of what we were looking for that trip. The store however was trashed and lots of bins were empty. The staff was scurrying to restock but those shoppers were like a hoard of locusts. It was an experience. I will just say liquor shoppers in Delaware mean business. Give them the right of way at all costs! read more

We had the most amazing fun at a private wine tasting class featuring Italian wines! Our facilitator, Brock, was very knowledgeable, fun, and chill and cool. He and Darlene who helped pour went out of their way for everything we needed. The classroom looked amazing and we all had a glorious time and learned tons without it being too technical, even though we were all at different levels with some of us, never doing a wine tasting, and some of us in the industry. We all shopped afterwards, and were amazed at the Incredible selections! I had the advantage of having Brock by my side to shop with. I highly recommend the store and this team! read more

Great experience today! I was looking for Vermentino wines, and Bill (a white Italian wine specialist) was really helpful! He introduced me to several vermentinos plus some other options that he thought that I would enjoy. He also directed me to some very economical choices. I ended up with twice as many bottles than I thought that I would be buying, but he suggested I use the Total Wine app which saved me 15 percent off my total bill. Thanks Bill. I felt like I had my own personal sommelier! read more

Total wine and more is like the Toys R Us for adults. I get giddy whenever I come here. There are lots of tastings and classes and the biggest selection I have ever seen.

I was a little overwhelmed since I don't know much about alcohol and beer brands, but there are plenty of store associates there to help or give recommendations.

Probably my favorite store that sells wine and spirits. The first time I came I told the guy I was looking for quality champagne and he literally gave me a complete run down of quality champagnes and a history lesson I really appreciated it and was satisfied with my purchase. The second time I came I encountered more helpful staff, I feel like they really care about making sure that you feel like you are making the right purchase. Although the parking lot gets packed, they have a majority of the lines open and the store is huge so you can social distance and won't have to be in line for too long. The pretty much have everything you could need as it relates to alcohol, even accessories. During the pandemic, some of the popular items were out of stock but the staff were always able to help me find a replacement which I really appreciated. read more

I'm very dissatisfied with my recent shopping experience. The employees were playing a game of 'compare and redirect' in every isle. Every big name I picked, they redirected me to another brand that was "as good but less expensive'". I didn't go for it with the champagne because o have some good knowledge of French wines. I did try it for my 'Cinco de Mayo' tequila and they got me good. 'Creamy and smooth' they said. Nothing of the sort. It's no wonder they can afford to hire so may people when every other business is cutting back so drastically. They' appear to be directing us to their largest margin items with no regard for our tastes and preferences. I'm out. There are too many honest liquor stores for a small premium. read more

As Bette Davis said, "Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they're phonies." (and as Madonna said, "Bette Davis, WE LOVE YOU!") Let me first say that one star is removed due to the miserable parking lot/shopping center where this place is located. (more on this below) As for TW itself, they definitely used to offer much better deals. 15 years ago cases of beer here were half the price of anywhere else. It was always worth the trip. Now, in the case of what we were recently looking for, they were actually $4 more expensive than our local stores, and we'd have to drive 40mi roundtrip to get there. No thanks. The selection is decent, but while it used to feel like a place created for connoisseurs by connoisseurs, it now feels like a doctor pimping drug rep suggestions. The "selection" is limited, and not what you'll find at mom-n-pop alternative stores. You may pay more elsewhere, but you'll get your money's worth elsewhere too. The staff has always been friendly, but while we got good suggestions in the past, we have more recently been given some bad advice by staffers, which I guess you could chalk up to a matter of taste? Another reviewer, Tom, said it was a matter of who is being paid to sell what, and that may be a factor too. Anywho, we don't see a need to travel all the way down to Claymont anymore. If we're passing by (when no one is in the parking lot), perhaps, but otherwise, it is no longer worth it. Kudos to the staff for asking for my ID... it always makes me feel like a young(er) lady! I thank them every time they do it. WARNING: PARKING LOT IS AWFUL I have sat in traffic for 30 minutes in this lot, with no movement, all because our exiting flow got cut off by another direction of exiters, who refused to yield, and the person at the head of our lane refused to be assertive about getting in on their right of way. Absolute horrible cluster-f scenes here, with dangerously hostile people, and this alone keeps us from venturing to any stores in the vicinity unless it is a highly unlikely time for anyone else to be shopping. (Additionally, the folks who arrive on busses are unabashedly rude, and harass with their bodies by refusing to get out of the way of cars--as in deliberately walking in a car's path and challenging drama.) read more

Emmett is a candy addict, and he will frequently shell out $20 or more at a candy shop, but he never experienced that proverbial "kid in a candy store" feeling until he walked these heavenly isles. This extensive wine super store is filled with row after row of grape intoxicants of all types and from most continents, with ton's of in depth descriptions, wine spectator ratings, and cards pointing out staffers favorites, as well as knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help employees who are on hand at almost every turn. Inebriating fun doesn't end with Total Wine's vast supply of the nectar of the gods, because they sport quite the healthy supply of hard stuff as well; I'd underestimate the spirits section at TW&M to be twice the size of the biggest Philadelphia state store. They also carry a good bit-o-beer here, but a beer distributor it is not, however, for tax free purchasing, I can sacrifice the eclectic selections of elsewhere to go with some cheaper and more main stream suds here (and besides, their "small" selection is still quite varied). This reviewer's humble opinion is that nothing in the Garden or Keystone states can come close to this store in volume and value (though, I guess the Jersey Total Wine stores match the volume, being sister stores and all). Other note worthy things about my favorite store on the east coast: -- There is a large humidor styled room filled with fatty and fragrant cigars -- They frequently have wine, beer, and liquor tastings/ instructional classes, most often on Friday and Saturdays, but other days as well. -- They offer a "mix your six" deal for beer -- Save your bottles: Delaware has a refundable fee added onto each glass container, and if you drink like this fish, those refunds will start to add up. -- Crossing state lines with alcohol is a no-no: when you purchase your booze in bulk, you may want to consider shooting a little farther along Naamans road to the Target or Home Depot for more tax free shopping, but really to throw the authorities off your trail; we've all heard the horror stories about second cousins and friends of coworkers being stopped on their way back up 95.... read more
