Specialty shops are good when you look for something special. But you'll pay the price for it.

One advantage of mass retail like Walmart over small shops is that by buying in large quantities they are able to propose better goods for a lower price.

So it is possible that you will find some high end beers, wines or whiskys at an affordable price.

Yet, specialty shops will keep the upper hand in matters of knowledge, information and small series items.
