Metro Wines is located at 169 Charlotte Street in Asheville, a short hop from Woodfin across the city line. As Asheville's top-rated wine shop for seven consecutive years, we've built our reputation on a straightforward premise: exceptional wine doesn't have to be complicated or expensive, and finding it shouldn't require guesswork. Whether you're searching for a reliable weeknight bottle, a special occasion wine you can't find anywhere else, or a case delivered to your door, Metro Wines is your neighborhood wine shop.
Value Doesn't Mean Compromise
The word "value" gets misused in wine retail. It often becomes code for cheap, which misses the point entirely. True value in wine means getting more than you paid for: a bottle that surprises you, that drinks above its price point, that a knowledgeable buyer found and brought in because it's genuinely good, not because the margins were attractive.
That's the standard we apply at Metro Wines. Our everyday selections start well under $20 and include small-producer European wines, value-driven domestic bottles, and styles that overdeliver consistently. For those stocking up, we offer case discounts that stretch your budget further. Our "Wine Please!" text delivery service makes reordering even simpler: text 828-575-9525, and a hand-selected case built around your preferences arrives at your door within 24 hours. Browse current availability anytime through our online store.
The Range You'd Expect from a Destination Shop
One of the things Woodfin residents tell us most often is that they didn't expect to find what they were looking for at a shop this size. That reaction says something real about what Metro Wines has built. Our selection spans:
- Everyday table wines that hold up to real-life use without asking you to think too hard
- Artisan and small-production bottles from growers who don't have wide distribution and whose wines reward the curiosity it takes to find them
- Collectible and investment-grade wines for cellaring, gifting, or marking an occasion that deserves something extraordinary
- Sparkling wines across all styles, from Grower Champagne to Cava to Pét-Nat
- Organic, biodynamic, and dry-farmed selections for buyers who care about how their wine is grown
Beyond what's on the shelves, our sourcing capabilities set us apart from what most local retailers can offer. If you're looking for a specific bottle, a producer you've heard about, or a wine you tried on a trip and can't find at home, reach out to us. We can often source bottles that simply aren't available elsewhere in Western North Carolina. People don't always believe that a shop like ours can find the wine they're looking for. We can. Learn more about who we are and how we've built our reputation over the past decade.
Expert Guidance, Every Time You Visit
A great wine selection is only as useful as the people who can help you navigate it. At Metro Wines, our staff includes certified specialists, trained sommeliers, and genuinely passionate wine people who have spent years developing the kind of knowledge that takes the pressure off your purchase.
That expertise isn't reserved for big spenders or collectors. Whether you're buying an $18 bottle for a weeknight pasta or asking about producers you've never heard of, you'll get the same thoughtful attention. Our team loves the question "what should I try?" and takes it seriously. If you want to get a sense of the kinds of conversations we have in the shop, our post on what to ask your sommelier is a good preview. For those who want to deepen their wine knowledge more formally, the Asheville School of Wine is based at Metro Wines and offers classes for all levels throughout the year.

Your Neighborhood Also Has Quench! Wine Bistro
Here's something worth celebrating: Woodfin doesn't just have easy access to one of Asheville's best wine shops. It also has Quench! Wine Bistro right in Reynolds Village, Metro Wines' restaurant and one of the most thoughtfully conceived dining experiences in the greater Asheville area.
Chef Sam's farm-to-table menu draws on seasonal ingredients from local producers, and the kitchen's approach reflects the same commitment to quality and intentionality that shapes how Metro Wines curates its shelves. The two businesses share an ownership team and a philosophy: that good ingredients, handled with care, don't need to be complicated to be extraordinary.
Quench! Wine Bistro hosts Wednesday wine tastings that are genuinely worth planning around, and the dining room is the kind of place that earns a regular spot in your rotation. As a Woodfin resident, you're not just close to a great wine shop. You're neighbors with both.
