What does Urban Grape do?

The Urban Grape is an award-winning wine, craft beer, and spirits store located Boston's vibrant South End neighborhood. UG is the first store in the world to utilize Progressive Shelving, a unique system of organizing wines by their body than varietal or region. We specialize in servicing our customers in-store and on-line, as well as working with our corporate partners for national event and gifting experiences. Owners TJ and Hadley Douglas are the authors of "Drink Progressively," a wine education and food-pairing book that has converted drinkers across America to their unique way of thinking about (and taking the intimidation out of!) wine. The Urban Grape is known for its focus on friendly, customer-led wine education, free wine tasting events at their store, and corporate/networking/alumni group wine education events across the city of Boston and nation-wide. UG's amazing staff is also known for having a lot of fun, and ending the day with a nice glass of whiskey.
