Astor Wines & Spirits

Astor Wines & Spirits has had decades to build a remarkable cellar. The Greenwich Village shop dates to 1946 and today carries more than 5,000 wines, spirits, and sakes at its Lafayette Street home in the landmark De Vinne Press Building. The store keeps all of their bottles in pristine condition, using chillers both on the sales floor and in the basement, and even providing a designated Cool Room for delicate bottles. Bottles are stored there if they are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature — regardless of their price point. They also offer free wine tastings each week, giving the local community a rare opportunity to sample some great wines and learn a little more about them.

Celebrated as a 2025 Winner in the Liquor and Wine Store category, Astor Wines & Spirits has long been a destination for enthusiasts seeking both rare finds and trusted favorites. This renowned shop curates an impressive global selection, from vintage bottles to small-batch craft spirits, all chosen with expertise and passion. Knowledgeable staff guide customers through every pour, whether for a celebration, a quiet evening, or a collector’s cellar. The store’s inviting atmosphere and commitment to quality have made it a cornerstone of New York’s wine and spirits scene. Blending tradition with discovery, it continues to set the standard for excellence and taste, offering an experience that goes well beyond the ordinary.
