Wine And Spirits — Local services in Olive Branch

Nice place, good selection, poor customer relations.

Came here a few times and picked up some things here and there. Thought the guys were cool and decided to try to be in their bourbon lottery. Made it in for the March Madness lottery, baseball, and Master’s. I forgot to send in my final 2 picks from March Madness, and I got a message stating I was kicked out of all three bourbon contests and then I was blocked. Mind you, the first time I missed there was no warning about this being a consequence. No rules posted at the beginning of this whole thing either. You probably think I said something harsh after being kicked from the lottery, but I just said “alright”, which apparently was means to be blocked and therefore never feel welcome back into this establishment.

I don’t think that action was necessary, and it came as a shock to me. I’m unsure as to why that was the route taken, so I just decided to leave this review as a fair warning to anyone else who enters in their lotteries. I’m telling you, because they won’t.

(Edit) One of their main guys, Austin, has now sent me aggressive messages on Facebook calling me a “kid”. To whoever is reading this, Austin and I were never friends on Facebook. (I use Facebook maybe once every 3 months) He had to search me down just so he could send me messages and let his anger out on some “kid”. I gave this place 2 stars before, but after seeing all that I have now given 1 star. Austin is extremely unprofessional and I believe he needs to work on his mental...

Their bourbon lotteries are the best in the business. The kid below , carter Cothren, that’s the only 2 star review of the 72 is 100 percent out of line. If you look at all his reviews, they are all Crybaby complaining just trying to bash businesses. He was hand picked after we felt bad about his performances and invited into all 3 lotteries because the staff wanted to give him shot at a chance at an allocated bottle because he seemed like a nice quiet kid. He wasn’t doing well in the contest and neglected to put a round of picks in for the weekend and was let known it’s ok just please don’t do it again. He then neglected to turn in another round of picks for the contest so the staff saw that as disrespectful to other patrons and the business as well after choosing him, a total stranger over actual everyday customers into their lottery and said we tried to open the door and gave fair warning .We only want authentic people through our doors, not somebody who is writing negative reviews on the internet that quit on us TWICE because they don’t know how to pick a college basketball game correctly and was tossed out of future lotteries after a fair warning bc they won’t even make it to the finish line .Nobody is with you on this one kid. And I had to go to facebook because you wouldn’t allow me to contact you any other way. The people are ALWAYS for OBPACKAGESTORE. Ask around and read all the reviews right below you. If they aren’t, they are just jealous or being a hater or not quite about much...

I have very mixed feelings about this establishment. 🍷 The prices here are undeniably affordable, competitive, and even enticing compared to other wine and liquor shops in the area. 💵 For that reason alone, one might be inclined to frequent this store.

However, my most recent visit was overshadowed by something far more unsettling. While standing in line, I personally witnessed the white-haired gentleman behind the counter direct homophobic remarks toward the customer ahead of me. 🏳️‍🌈💔 This was not only disrespectful and demeaning, but it also created an atmosphere that felt hostile, unsafe, and exclusionary.

In 2025, there is no place for such words or attitudes—especially in a community business that serves people from all walks of life. 🚫 The experience left me feeling disheartened, and although the prices are good, I cannot in good conscience recommend a store that treats LGBTQ+ individuals (or anyone) with such blatant disregard for dignity and respect.

Until changes are made, I will be taking my business...
