![]() “Total Wine & More is America's Wine Superstore® - the country‘s largest independent retailer of fine wine. For me, it’s the safest option around and easily the best for people who still buy a variety of imports.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, there are no Total Wine stores in PA but there is a PA ‘connection’: If a consumer wants a beer store with 20 refrigerated varieties of local NEIPA four packs, they will not like this store. Despite the fact that most people don’t go to a TW to buy food, this store doesn’t even seem to suffer with their stock… but it’s not like I have a habit of checking the best by dates of their cheese selection. For people who shop at TWs with dusty beer bottles, they might be shocked to know that this particular store even sells food. Since it’s New York, it’s actually a separate business from normal TWs, and you unfortunately can’t check their beer stock on the TW website as a result. ![]() The parking lot is terrible, but the same goes for other area stores (for different reasons though). Generally speaking, it’s also cleaner, better maintained, cheaper and with better selection. ![]() As far as my buying habits are concerned - that TW is a step up rather than a step down from other area stores with regard to beer freshness. Every store has it’s own personality to a certain degree. *Binny’s has ~50 Illinois locations not sure how many BevMo! or Total Mayhem have.Ĭlick to expand.Same store I was referring to (you know that, but pointing it out for others). Your mileage may vary, but I will take smaller and more personalized service all-day-long. That is a dangerous mentality to flirt with, and very few large scale retailers that are dealing with perishables (beer, in this case) can pull it off.Īs a consumer, I choose a well-curated and well-kept selection over the BIGGEST and BADDEST-ASS one, all day long, and it is very rare when this confluence of considerations overlaps well enough to sway me from my regular haunts: Local packies that do their best, and longtime employees of same with whom I have developed a rapport. They’re not unlike Binny’s in Chicagoland* Gotta be the biggest, baddest-ass mofo of a booze retailer around - no matter what effect it has on the floor stackers of dusty and clearly wayyyy past-code imports, Craft, and true Micros you happen to have in inventory. Owing to the fact that I haven’t visited a single BevMo location, I can’t make an honest comparison with Total Wine (or “Total Market Domination”, as I like to call them).īut based upon what I have read and understand of Total Wine’s corporate mentality and unique, point of view, I do understand them in a rather oblique sense, especially based upon feedback from current and former employees (as well as having read-up on their background). I have never had the fortune to visit a BevMo, but their online stock selection and prices had always enticed me, back when I worked retail and regularly did online price comparisons with other such large retail chains- over fifteen years ago! This is a thread that is close to my heart (and or wallet), especially as I’ve watched the local market transform in recent years. Far worth paying the extra buck or two to find refrigerated fresh beer and knowledgeable friendly staff who don’t hate their jobs and the corporation they work for.įind the same experience with other businesses, such as going to the local Italian or Polish grocery stores over Albertson’s and Kroger, or having my money at a local bank and credit union versus banking at a National chain. I also haven’t been to the Chicago area equivalent (Binny’s) in over a year, and my beer buying experience has been a lot more enjoyable in 2022. Nearly all their sales are geared toward wine and spirits, and their store reflects their priorities. You can tell they don’t give a rats ass about beer. Their beer is old, not refrigerated, and their beer aisles are also organized horrendously. I’ve walked out empty handed the past couple of times and don’t even bother to go there anymore. ![]() It is absolutely the nut low in terms of a beer shopping experience. The Total Wine in Summerlin Las Vegas is my primary experience with Total Wine.

The term AI Cold War first appeared in 2018 in an article in Wired magazine by Nicholas Thompson and Ian Bremmer. The context of the AI Cold War narrative is the AI arms race, which involves a build-up of military capabilities using AI technology by the US and China.Ī key area of concern in the tensions between China and the US are semiconductors because of their key role of semiconductors for the competitiveness of the AI industry. The Artificial Intelligence Cold War ( AI Cold War) is a narrative in which tensions between the United States and the People's Republic of China lead to a second Cold War waged in the area of artificial intelligence technology rather than in the areas of nuclear capabilities or ideology. ![]() Technological and geopolitical great power competition ![]() ![]() Following those rumors, a New Nintendo Switch Pro listing was spotted on Amazon, but Nintendo is still remaining tight-lipped about the whole thing.
