Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question for us? Please check below and see if any of our Frequently Asked Questions might give you the information you seek!

Do you deliver?

We will happily try to accommodate any requests for local deliveries,
however we are unable, due to state regulations, to deliver alcohol to
those we are unable to ID in our store.

Can you help me find a special bottle that you don't carry?

Absolutely. There are many, many wines available in the world, and we simply cannot stock all of them. We will happily special order any wine or beer that is available in Maine. What does that mean? We can only order bottles that have been registered for sale in this state, and that is done by the wholesalers we order from.

Can you get wines that aren’t registered here, and/or order wine for me directly from the winery?

No, that is not possible under current Maine liquor laws. However, if there is a compelling reason for a wholesaler to contract with a certain producer and carry their products, the desired label may become available.

Do you carry spirits?

At present, Bangor Wine does not hold an agency liquor license, and subsequently does not carry distilled spirits.

Do you have tastings? Do you offer private tastings/events?

We offer FREE public tastings on the third Thursday of every month. In addition, we offer special tastings if an exciting guest is available to meet with our customers. For those interested in private tastings and events, please contact us for a personal consultation with one of our staff.

I am gluten-intolerant/celiac…are there products at BWC for me?

Heck yes. We offer a selection of gluten-free beers, as well as natural ciders that have no gluten additives.

Do you have any sulfite-free wines?

No, we do not. However, we offer wines with very low added sulfites. The reason is that sulfite-free wines are stripped of even naturally occurring sulfites, and we feel that also strips the wines of inherent character. Since many of our wines are shipped in temperature-controlled containers, the winemakers add only trace amounts to the wine to prevent re-fermentation in the bottle.

Do you sell wine or beer-making equipment?

No, we do not.
