Welcome to Vines Wine and Spirits

Not just another liquor store
Vines Wine and Spirits is no stranger to the industry. Brought to you by the owners of Vines Grille and Wine Bar, five-time winner of the prestigious Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence, this retail location first opened its doors in spring of 2009. In the fall of 2009, Vines W&S expanded to 4500 square feet with a vision of offering Central Florida wine, beer, and spirit consumers a retail experience second to none. “With our experience and personal relationships with some of the greatest wine makers of the world, we are able to provide our patrons with an exceptional selection of wines at terrific prices, from the value driven every day favorites to the hard to get rare and collectables,” says owner Dimitri Karabinis.
Vines W&S extended their love of wine by building a tasting room and lounge area. A serene piece of wine heaven located in the back of the shop where the guest can enjoy a wonderful wine tasting experience while sitting back and relaxing in the chic and cozy lounge area.
Vines selection of wine caters to those enthusiasts who search for value driven wines, as well as collectors searching for esoteric small production wines-- and everything else in between. Vines Wine and Spirits goes the extra step with providing descriptions, ratings and tasting notes to serve as a shopping guide and assisting you with your selections. During the expansion, a cellar room was added to mass several hundred collectable & rare wines. This collection contains some of the most sought after wines including names such as Domaine Romanee Conti-- a world class Burgundy, the 2007 Scarecrow Cabernet-- a 100 point scoring wine by Robert Parker, and Dows 2007 Vintage Porto which scored 100 points by Wine Spectator.
In addition to accommodating wine lovers, Vines has also incorporated an extensive beer section including different domestic, import, and craft beers, and a special “Build Your Own 6 Pack” section in which the guest can pick and choose from the wide variety of beers to put together their perfect combination. The store provides an easy to shop casual and chic environment, and an eclectic selection of products to ensure an enjoyable shopping experience. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is always eager to provide wine advice and suggest drink recipes for the vast selection of different spirits carried in the store.
Vines W&S will host many events in the fall of 2010 in which we will have winery representatives in the store to educate and pour their products during wine tasting events. Other events will be less casual and more educational with limited seating to provide a more intimate setting intended to be more informational. There will also be events where spirits are the focus, for example a Scotch and Bourbon Tasting, scheduled for October 13th. Altogether, There will be 15 tasting events scheduled from September through December of 2010, including an “Icons of the Andes” tasting in which 6 winemakers from South America will be in the store. Our Holiday Tasting will feature up to 50 different wines from around the world.
