    Our story

    Whitewater's fine wine shop.

    We've carried that name for years, and we still take it seriously: more than 500 wines, 200+ craft beers and a large selection of spirits and liqueurs under one roof. If you don't see what you're after, tell us and we'll do our best to get it in.

    Good to know

    Questions we hear at the counter.

    Do I need to bring ID?

    Yes. You must be 21 to buy alcohol in Wisconsin, and we may ask anyone for a valid photo ID. That goes for everyone in your group at the register.

    Can you order something you don't carry?

    Usually, yes. Use the special order form or call 262-473-4204 with the name and size, and we'll check with our distributors and call you back.

    How do kegs work?

    We carry ½ and ¼ barrels by request. Reserve a few days ahead and we'll confirm the beer, price, deposit and tap options when we call you back.

    What counts for the case discount?

    Buy wine by the case and you get 10% off every day. Ask at the register if you want to put a mixed case together.

    How does the birthday shot work?

    Come in on your birthday, show your ID, and pick out any 50ml bottle. It's free.

    I have a question about my storage unit.

    The Whitewater Self Storage office is inside the store, but storage questions go to 262-473-4350 or whitewaterselfstorage.com.
