Have you ever bought a “great” bottle of wine only to later find that you just don’t like the taste? There are simply too many options out there and sometimes recommendations just don’t pan out.  (If we’re being completely honest, it’s even happened to us!) So how can you be sure that what you’re buying is something you’re going to really enjoy?

Fortunately for our customers, we have a Try Before You Buy program at Wine ConneXtion. You heard that right – you can actually come into our store and try the wines featured in our multiple state-of-the-art machines before you buy. Soon, your anxiety about wasting hard-earned money on wine that’s sadly poured down the drain will be a thing of the past.

Our Try Before You Buy program gives our customers a valuable, unique opportunity that isn’t offered elsewhere. In truth, it helps us deliver on our core mission of educating and empowering our customers. Most importantly, it’s a great way to explore and sample an incredible variety of wines to ensure you’re leaving with your perfect choices. Plus, because we’re Wine ConneXtion, we favor featuring great wines that you won’t find stocked at your local supermarket. In fact, our customers typically end up purchasing something new or unique after discovering the wines in our machines.

Whenever you stop in, you’ll find the five tasting machines located around our store, with each machine holding four bottles of wine. Our selection changes often so we strongly recommend coming in regularly to test out the different wines. Right now, we’re featuring the following wines:

Machine 1

• Josemeyer Alsace Dreams
• Dry Creek Chenin Blanc
• Peter Yealand Estate Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
• Shannon Ridge Chardonnay

Machine 2

If you are unsure of which bottle of wine to try next, you need not worry. Head into our North Andover location to Try Before You Buy. We even have weekly tastings to expand their palates. And, as always, we offer “eXcellent wines at eXceptional prices,” and deliver them at some of lowest prices in the state while making sure we do not compromise on service or quality. We hope to see you soon!
