What a great find!! Found exactly what we needed at very reasonable price points. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Love the "extended" customer service - you receive an print out with descriptions of your purchased wines. And, even more helpful, your order is kept in a database so there's always a record for you even if you can't remember the exact name of the wine you bought and liked 6 months ago! We were visiting from Michigan but this will definitely be on our "can't be missed when in Durham" list!

No joke, I don't know what I do without Wine Authorities! I truly have never bought a bad bottle of wine from here-- the knowledge of their staff and the depth of their selection is the idea of "curation" at its best. Also, they have sneakily great selection of tinned fish and other vittles that make great gifts or pairings with whatever wine you choose.

Funnily my husband and I had dinner with the owners of Wine Authorities at Jujube at a beer dinner and we thought a wine store would be great. Wine Authorities certainly is a fantastic wine store. In a prior iteration they had a trading bar, but they have now converted the store into a pure wine store packed with racks of wine. The folks minding the store are amazing as they are truly helpful and get you exactly what you need if you're looking for something specific or they will let you browse. They also provide tasting notes, have wine packs that they curate for you so that you can try new wine that you would not have tried otherwise. They don't have fancy wine openers so go elsewhere for those items. But you'll definitely find a wine you want to drink.

One of my favorite stores in Durham! I have never had a bad experience shopping at Wine authorities. The staff are all super knowledgeable. I’ll often come in and ask for a recommendation based on a meal I am preparing and they always deliver. They also offer good discounts when buying in bulk.

Good wine store. Carefully curated, if somewhat limited, selection of wines from around the world. Isa was a great help in selecting wines. She’s very knowledgable about their wines and offered great suggestions based on my preferences.
