3.0 of 5 stars. This place has a lot of great finds, but it also has an insane amount of plonk. Also, on a whole lot of things they are significantly overpriced. On the plus side they are a ton more helpful than…

5.0 of 5 stars. 4.5 stars I am on a constant search for that one wine that 1) I like the taste 2) my husband likes the taste 3) is in the $10-$13 price range. Sounds easy, right? Well I've been on the search for this…

5.0 of 5 stars. Silly wabbit, Sam's is for yuppies, buppies, and guppies who don't know any better. If you'd like to be able to have nice wine and afford the Riedel crystal to serve it in, and need to concern…

5.0 of 5 stars. I recently attended a wine tasting here and it was great. They were so helpful and willing to work with my tastes...even though my price point was the cheapest one possible!

5.0 of 5 stars. My new favorite wine store in the city. Learned about this place from the sommelier at avenues, told us there were some great deals. Not pretentious at all, good selection, all the wine has…

Yelp.com Review - by Sebastian M.

2.0 of 5 stars. As if buying ads on Yelp wasn't enough, the Wine Discount Center must also be writing its own Yelp reviews. I have to weigh in and inveigh against all of these five star reviews. First, the wine…

5.0 of 5 stars. We go here as often as possible. The guys are super friendly, and I can always find some nice bottles of wine in the 92-98 point range for around $10. I've only been disappointed with one bottle I've…

5.0 of 5 stars. I heart wine discount center. Best prices in town, and you don't have to deal with the hugeness of Sam's or Binny's. They have all the wine you want, without all the wine you don't want to bother…

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the antithesis of Sam's. If you want a huge selection and easy to find location, then yes, Sam's is great. Wine Discount is the small, oddly-located place with way less inventory than a Sam's…

4.0 of 5 stars. If you go anywhere else for wine, you are a suckah! No, just kidding. But this place is great especially if you are getting a larger quantity or want to get a nice variety for a dinner party.

5.0 of 5 stars. I really enjoy this place! I used to go to Binny's and Sam's...but after experiencing WDC, this is the place. The wine is cheap and the staff is great. Try the tastings on Saturday's.
