Best Liquor Store: Total Wine & More
When folks complain about Houston (the audacity!) a common gripe is that the city is too damn big. It starts here and ends way over there! It’s enough to drive someone to drink (but, hopefully, not drink and drive – it’s 2025, grab a rideshare). Fortunately, Total Wine & More has swept in and made camp at various locations across this too-large expanse we call home. There are now more than a dozen Total Wine sites placed in all the right places within 100 miles from the city center.
It’s more than just quantity which tips the scales in Total Wine’s Best of favor for 2025, it’s also quality and service. These megastores are equipped with high volume and high-caliber selections, which an abundance of smart staffers is eager to point out. There are cigar humidors and rows of glassware and gift ideas for your favorite drinkers. If those drinkers are also some of the loudest critics of how huge Houston is, maybe stop into your nearest (and there is one nearby) Total Wine for a li’l something to help them take off the edge.
