About Hodge Wine & Liquor  

Hodge Wine & Liquor, located in Buffalo’s Elmwood Village, is a fourth-generation, family-owned business with a history as rich as its selection. Founded on December 6, 1933—the day Prohibition ended—it has remained a community landmark for over 90 years. Still run by the same family, the shop blends tradition, expertise, and genuine neighborhood charm.

Inside, Hodge offers an impressive range of wines and spirits. Shelves are stocked with popular brands alongside rare and premium bottles, including well-known names like Blanton’s, Angel’s Envy, and Booker’s. The store also features a strong collection of single-malt Scotch, small-batch bourbons, and liqueurs such as Absinthe, St. Germain, and Chartreuse. Their wine selection caters to both collectors and casual drinkers, offering something for every taste and occasion.

What truly sets Hodge apart is its personal touch. The staff are known for their friendliness and knowledge, often helping customers discover new favorites or track down hard-to-find bottles. The store also accommodates special orders and offers delivery or curbside pickup—making quality and convenience go hand in hand.

Over the decades, Hodge has built more than just a business; it’s built trust. Generations of customers continue to return for the same reason their parents and grandparents did—the mix of expertise, history, and hospitality that defines this Buffalo staple. For anyone looking for a well-curated selection backed by decades of dedication, Hodge Wine & Liquor remains one of Western New York’s finest destinations.
