There are a decent number of wine shops in the FiDi area, but this one is the 2nd closest to the largest subway hub in the city. Despite that, I've never seen the place crowded. Maybe it's because their prices ARE a little high. Or maybe it's because of their customer service. They're not exactly friendly, which goes a long way. They greet you as soon as you come in, but it's in a way that makes you feel watched or rushed. I usually ignore that and just ask them to let me browse until I have a question. That usually works. But it's too bad they aren't as assertive with pan handlers & the like. I stopped into the shop yesterday looking for a bottle of wine to pair with dinner. Shortly after I entered, a guy stumbled in off the street, asking me for money for liquor. He was talking loudly & using the N word a LOT. Did they say one word to him? No. Not until he walked up to the counter and addressed the woman there face to face, asking for booze. Even then, she wasn't as assertive with him as she's been with me over taking whatever wine she's chosen. To make matters worse, there was a male employee in the store who stood several yards away, just watching. I told this desperate beggar who was told me that HE HAD A KNIFE & had just been in a physical altercation with someone, that I had no cash. He responded that I could just put it on my credit card. The staff said nothing in response to that. I had already chosen my first wine & had placed it on the counter for purchase. But now this beggar was hanging out there. I heard the woman passively mutter something about preferring him to do his business outside. But the male employee just stood there watching. I turned to the male employee & asked, "You're OK with this?" He just shrugged. But the beggar loudly stated, "SHE'S OK WITH THIS!" and laughed. So I told the male employee, "Since you won't ask him to leave, I'll leave." I then walked out empty-handed & made my way south to Simply Wine on Liberty Street, where the worst thing that happens there might be an occasional puppy fart. It was out of my way, but so worth it. Their selection & service rock. I have worked with and around alcohol for many years, including my time as a bartender. If you can't control drunks & people begging for booze, if you can't protect or at least show concern for the safety & comfort of your paying customers, you're in the wrong business. This place won't be getting any more of mine.

Their website had issues and my order was messed up and he did not handle this with grace. Instead he was degrading and overall not nice/understanding as I would expect a supervisor of a store I am giving money to would be. He made backhanded comments at me when I asked about my refund as I do not trust he gave it to me. If I chose to be a customer of this store again I will be making sure to be doing delivery as I do not want to face him again, that's how poor of a person he was to me. I'd give zero stars if I could. - also to note when I walked in, he was sipping on the samples in the store. Liquor store or not, don't drink on the job and act the way you did.

The woman at the front--who I believe is the owner--was incredibly dismissive and carried a condescending, "I'm better than you" attitude the entire time. Her demeanor was not only unprofessional, but borderline racist, which is especially ironic considering the neighborhood is predominantly made up of minorities. There was no warmth, no customer service, and certainly no sense that my business was valued. I left the store feeling insulted and unwelcome. I will never shop here again--and honestly, neither should you. There are too many other places that will treat you like a human being, not like a low-life. Support businesses that respect their customers.

I regularly go here to purchase the 5-liter box wines to make my sangrias. The price is $20 flat if you pay in cash. I found this to be the cheapest place in the area where you can get it. The staff is always helpful and won't hesitate to ask if you need assistance. They also deliver, which is very beneficial on those cold/snowy/rainy days when you're running low and do not want to leave the house. I've done some searching around the Chinatown and Lower East Side areas and this place is cheaper than most, plus the prices already include tax. Tip: When you get to the register pay attention to the neon stickers. They usually advertise really good deals of high quality spirits. For example, recently I purchased a 700 ml bottle of European vodka for $8. Wow!

The tastings are fun, the selection well curated, and the prices very reasonable. The points system is nice perk as it doesn't take forever to accrue a reward so can redeem easily.
