Kahn’s Fine Wines – Online Store Review

April 12th, 2012 | Add a Comment | Written by Bob Pack

Kahn’s Fine Wines is an Indianapolis-based retailer of some exotic, hard-to-find beers that don’t often make their way to our neck of the woods. With three physical store locations, as well as an online presence, Kahn’s is where I often turn to find certain rarities.

And now, a brief review:

Kahn’s Fine Wines

Selection
Great selection of hard-to-find mid-west breweries that don't distribute widely across the US, including an amazing selection of Three Floyds beers. A few others stores may carry some of the beers that Kahn's carries but not the whole gamut. My latest purchase included the following Three Floyds: Behemoth, Black Sun, Brian Boru, Gumballhead, Pride & Joy, and Robert the Bruce. Their international section also has a few gems if you take the time to scroll through the entire list

Value
It is hard to compare Kahn's to other stores since the beers I purchased have been found only here. Even though I've been known to buy expensive bottles on occasion, I still won't overpay and consider their prices inline with what they charge locally to their in-store patrons.

Packaging
Thick card board box. Inside, each bottle was in its own section of a Styrofoam container. Very secure. Only down side is that those small foam pieces are impossible to clean off the bottles due to static charge.

Ease-of-Use
At this time you have to manually search for the beers or breweries because the site won't list all the beers in one list. It appears to be a site bug because it was worked in the past. Email communication was top notch. Received an email saying certain bottles were out of stock and others would be back in stock in a week. I was given the option to remove it from the order or wait

Nothing fancy for a web site or a store front but it is worth checking out.
