Wine shop in Anchorage

[jeanarch]

Does anyone know of a wine shop in downtown Anchorage...We will be doing a short land tour before Southbound cruise in Sept. and would like to pick up wine for our cabin before we board.

from what I've read, you buy wine and beer at a liquor store (as opposed to a grocery store in some states). A search for liquor stores in Anchorage brought up a litany of choices; not sure which one is closest to the airport but you could always hail a cab and ask them or look these streets up on mapquest:

Yeah, Alaska's not quite a 'wine shop' sort of place yet. Hopefully, an Anchorage resident will chime in with some suggestions, but usavvy is right; grocery stores can't sell liquor in their aisles, but nearly every grocery store will have a liquor store attached. You just have to pay at a separate counter.

 

A place like Fred Meyer, a big Walmart like retailer, sells wine. Costco has nice wine selection. I doubt any of these big retailers are downtown, however. You may be stuck with liquor stores, which tend to sell to a different sort of customer than someone looking for a nice bottle of wine. ;)

 

The big box stores will have better prices. I lived in CA for years, and can't get myself to pay AK prices for wine. Even a usually low-priced brand like Ravenwood costs over $10 in Juneau. :eek:

Thanks for the help.

The Brown Jug has a very nice selection of wine. Our bus was to meet us across the street. Everyone on our land pkg was there!!!

If you need to replenish there is a nice store in Skagway on way back to ship.

[AkSusan]

I just got out my trusty new ACS yellow pages and the only liquor store downtown is the Downtown Wine & Spirits at 930 W. 5th Avenue.

 

Never have been in it though, so I'm not sure of their selection. Also they are right you can't buy liquor in our grocery stores but Carrs/Safeway and Fred Meyers have liquor stores attached. Our Walmarts do not have liquor.

 

Our Brown Jugs are our stand alone liquor stores that I frequent (also our Oaken Kegs - the liquor stores at the Carrs/Safeway stores and Sam's and Costco). Brown Jug has a great selection of about any kind you would want. The closest Brown Jug would be at the corner of Northern Lights & Spenard or the closet Oaken Keg would be at Northern Lights and Minnesota. These would require a cab ride though.

And if you go to the Oaken Keg attached to the Carrs/Safeway, make sure you get a Customer Card. Will give you a pretty good discount, plus, if you buy a 6-pack of wine (you select the 6), you get an additional 10% off. You also get a carton that holds the 6 bottle.s

[AkSusan]

And the 10% is also off the sale price if what you pick is on sale and recently found out it just doesn't have to be 6 of wine, they'll give you 10% off of any 6 spirits (last time it was 3 big bottles of margaritas and 3 bottles of wine for me). Actually Fred Meyer's does the same thing too.
