We are the country's largest privately owned fine wine and spirits merchant, with approximately one hundred and fifty stores (from Tallahassee to Miami) and fifteen hundred employees.  Our company headquarters are still in Orlando, with executive offices adjacent to a 150,000 square foot distribution center.  The distribution center features temperature-controlled wine storage, two humidors, temperature-controlled cigarette storage, and a fleet of refrigerated trucks to ensure that temperature-sensitive products such as wine and tobacco are not subjected to the extremes of Florida temperature.  We see no reason why anyone should buy cooked wine! 

 

New stores average 10,000 square feet in size. These often include walk-in cigar humidors, temperature-controlled wine cellars, and massive cold space for imported and micro brewed beers. Some locations also feature a temperature controlled wine vault where customers store their wine and keep the key.   ABC carries more than four thousand fine wines, a selection of more than four hundred cigars, and both rare and popular spirits. Our larger stores also offer a variety of gourmet foods, custom gift baskets and gift wrapping.

 

While the “superstores” are impressive, we never forget that the backbone of our business is meeting the needs of our customers.  Approximately ½ of our locations, therefore, are neighborhood stores, less than 8,000 square feet, focused on providing a pleasant, convenient shopping experience.  And, even in the smaller stores, customers can still get anything we carry companywide, as our store managers are able to place special orders for items they don’t normally stock.  Most of the neighborhood stores have been remodeled in recent years, as ABC Fine Wine & Spirits continues to provide clean, well lit, well stocked and well staffed stores for our customers.
