Very friendly folks with a big selection of wines and spirits. Lovely and convenient store.

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but when I first went to Louisville in 2021, I discovered a bourbon that I actually liked (in small quantities): Blade and Bow by Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Unfortunately you cannot get it in Canada, so when we went to the US in the summer of 2022, I was determined to purchase a couple of bottles. We didn't have any luck in DC or Baltimore, but I figured surely it would be available in New York, and every time I saw a liquor store I'd go in, but I couldn't find it anywhere. However, while in Brooklyn we came across Brooklyn Wine Co so we went in and to our surprise, they sold Blade and Bow! And at $49.95, it was cheaper than at the distillery in Louisville ($63)! So when my husband and I went back to New York over Christmas, going back to Brooklyn Wine Co, even though it was out of our way, was a priority. Because we had only a limited number of days we could venture into Brooklyn (we couldn't go to Brooklyn on days we had a show booked, for example) and I didn't want to turn up and they were out of stock, I contacted them ahead of time asking if there was a chance they would run out of stock, and if so, offered to pre-pay. The owner responded saying that they regularly stock Blade and Bow, but if they were running low, they would put some aside for me, and no need to pre-pay. When we arrived on December 28th, they had plenty of Blade and Bow in stock, but due to the ridiculous custom rules, we could only purchase three bottles. In addition to being one of the few liquor stores that stocks Blade and Bow, the customer service was great. One of the employees offered to go into the stock room to see if he could find a bottle with a specific number that we needed to complete our collection. (There are little plastic keys hanging from the bottles, numbered one to five, and if you get all five and go back to the distillery, you get a golden cup.) Unfortunately we couldn't get the number we needed to complete the set (#5), but the employee was able to help us find another that we needed. Even though we went to Brooklyn Wine Co for a specific product, they have a great selection of wines and spirits, and I will definitely go back if I am ever in New York.

Great selection and reasonable prices. In Brooklyn? Yes!!! Add in friendly and helpful staff and you have a total winner!

Love this shop! A wide selection of wines and bubbles. Be it seltzer, beer, champagne or Prosecco. The staff is very helpful and they make great recommendations. It's beautiful inside, and they have events and tastings so I will be signing up to hear what's on the schedule. read more

This great review is out of the gratitude to the owner, who helped make my New Year's Eve perfect. I went in looking for neither-champagne, nor Prosecco , nor Cava, nor any of the usual sparkling wines. I wanted something unique. And yeah, I was possibly being kind of annoying with my questions. The owner was nice enough to recommend me a South African sparkling wine, which was the star of my (two person) New Year's Eve party. He also recommended a French sparkling wine that is not from the Champagne region, which was also what the doctor ordered. I will be back thanks to the excellent recommendations and solid customer service. read more

Ok so I went back n got more spirits. The guys name is Tyrone. ( not Tyson I was close, I blame it on the proseco! )

Red White and Bubbly was my local wine shop for a long time. They really outdid themselves with this move and refresh as Brooklyn Wine Co. The new store a block up is huge, with even more offerings of wine and spirits. The staff remain very knowledgeable and helpful if you have questions or want recommendations. There's more refrigeration, so‒-yay!‒-for already chilled bubbly. There are regular tastings and even a frequent buyer's club now (who're you looking at?). The tastings range from selections of wines to local spirits, so you can try something new and unexpected. I continue to be impressed by the inexpensive (under $10) selections of the month. So basically, it's bigger and even better. And I always look forward to their extensive and fun rosé tasting in the spring! read more

Really great selection in a variety of price ranges. If you need something like booze or wine to take to a party, stop here. There is plenty of help to ensure you don't take something that will embarrass you. Additionally, the folks that work there are friendly, knowledgeable and easy on the eyes, to boot. read more

Brooklyn Wine Co - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

You know you're dealing with professionals who love their job when they ask the right questions to give you an ideal product. This store does that for me and my family every time we come in for a drink to pair with our meals. On my most recent purchase the sales associate, name Mario, asked me a question I never encountered when looking for champaign. He said "Do you want your drink to be sugary sweet or fruity sweet?" This question made me think and I reconsider the direction I wanted to go for a bottle of champaign. After I gave him my response he made a recommendation suited for my wants. My family and I were so pleased with his suggestions that we went back for more. I highly recommend this store when your looking for that perfect drink. read more

All my friends that live in the Slope are lowlifes who don't deserve a nice bottle of wine.* I know this because despite RW & B's very decent vino selection, I always seem to come in looking for liquor. And although they do sell liquor, the selection isn't what I would call great. However, the aforementioned lowlifes are OK with that bottle of Skyy, so it's not really a big deal. I do appreciate that about half the time, there is a nice lady in the back of the shop, hawking some sort of spirit that I'm probably never going to buy. I'm certainly not above taking a free shot of...what is that, Kraken? But it's unlikely I'm going to buy a bottle of spiced rum since I'm no longer completely indifferent to how things taste, as long as they sport some semblance of alcohol content (AKA no longer in college). __________ *No, not you, of course. read more

I've walked in here twice on 2 separate occasions just to be completely ignored by the staff. Would have loved to make a purchase or participate in a tasting, but couldn't do that when I'm apparently invisible. There are plenty of other wine stores with a lovely selection that will actually acknowledge my existence, so I'll take my business there. read more

I won't lie to y'all - it doesn't matter to me whether it's red, white or bubbly - I love them all. And this shop has it all, bottles from dozens of countries around the world. Prices are average and seriously they had a great variety. Bonus- they even have a wall of liquor (although the liquor is priced a little high). So you might expect a high star rating, right? Nope. This place has a good assortment alright, but their customer service is lacking. When we rolled in there were 3 staffers in the store. One was making sure bottles were lined up, the second was behind the counter eating take out and the 3rd was watching us. Does this shop encounter people trying to steal bottles of wine often? Because this guy was staring holes through each of us and that is extremely off putting. None of them said a word to us until we were walking back towards the door. And we were the only folks in the shop... would it behoove you to at least say HI. Ahh well. Should I reallllly need some wine and happen to be in the neighborhood I'd stop by... but I'd rather save my $ for those who appreciate the business. read more

This store has hired an individual who is not familiar with NYC's paper-bag fee. I was charged 5 cents extra for a plastic bag and when I complained to the cashier, he said that this was the law and refused the refund. It wasn't worth making a fuss over 5 cents, but his insistence on his ignorance was shameful. Will never return there! read more

In a Liquor store is important having as some people mention... 1. Good place! and considering that they are carring more than 200 different wines they are really organized with the spaces. 2. Good Products! They have good stuff for good price and they also are carrying the best. 3. Excellent Service! which is amazing by the way, all the staff are really friendly and if you're not a grinch ( i mean a person who thinks that this world is just not too good for them) they treat you as family and they always take care of you. read more

Never been to a better wine store! They have great selections, helpful and friendly staff, and they offer tastings regularly. They sell all the major liquor and some smaller labels as well. Prices are very affordable and they offer top shelf bottles for the fancier occasions. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood wine store. read more

Was looking for a place to buy a Vodka, small and simple, to cook pasta with salmon and vodka which is a dish which reminds me teenagers' birthday parties in italian pizzerias. A Classic dish is "pennette (or farfalle) alla vodka! The Lady was very kind and helpful and we talked a bit about Italy too. PS. Pennette came out wonderfully, for the recipe write me! :-P read more

There are three key elements to a good wine shop: good inventory, good prices, and informed and helpful personnel. Red, White and Bubbly disappoints on the last one. I like wine, a lot. And a lot of what I like about wine is learning and discovering new wines I haven't had before. Key, for me, is a staff person I can trust. Even better if I can name a wine I like and what I liked about it and have them recommend one they think I'll like based on what I've described. Red, White and Bubbly's staffers can't do this. They don't know anything about the wines they're selling. They're basically the same as a sales clerk in The Gap. Don't bother asking them questions or asking for recommendations. With all the other wine shops in the neighborhood, I'd skip this place. read more

You know those gregarious, thoughtful friends who always greet you with a smile and a pat on the back, and never try to one-up you on anything? That's RW&B through and through! This wine shop is truly amazing. The employees are great: they're never pushy and they never try to play "I know more about wine than you". They don't ever seem to be hovering, but the second I lift my head and look around for someone, there they are. Like magic wine imps. Awesome. The shop itself it very well organized (my first time there, years ago, it took me all of five seconds to figure out where everything was). Oh, and it's the only place I've found that carries scheurebe (mmm, scheurebe). read more

Well, it's official. I'm on Yelp to endorse my neighborhood wine shop. After many wine runs at all the local shops, I'm most impressed by Red White & Bubbly. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I like options: cheap ones, expensive ones, and middle of the road ones. Before I entered, I had this impression that it would be snooty and expensive. It wasn't. There are a lot of bottles in the $7 to $15 range, the staff is helpful, and most importantly, you leave with a slight buzz for free. Oh, a swig of Swedish vodka for me? Oh, it's organic? I can totally tell that it's organic. Ha. The wine tastings are insightful for an amateur like myself and the liquor tastings are a quick and convenient way to feel warm on a cold winter night. RW&B, you have now have my endorsement. read more

Me and Miss Sarit were waiting for the bus across the street and had a craving for some homemade lychee martinis, I saw this place that looked nice and decided to risk missing the bus home for a bottle of booze... At least if I missed the bus I could crack open the bottle and take enough swigs to make me completely indifferent to waiting an additional 20 minutes in the blistering cold. After braving Brooklyn motorists by daringly j-walking (jay-walking?) across the street I stumbled in and nearly startled the poor soul standing near the door. Mishaps averted, I shoved on to the bottles of what I was looking for: vermouth. The kind lady behind the counter showed me to what I was looking for, and even looked up a recipe to make sure I was getting the right thing and shared tips with me on how to make the drink (this is my first time making a lychee martini), this was a very nice touch! She really went above and beyond. She walked me over to the section, handed me the top-shelf version of it and explained why it was better - since I am planning on messing this up I opted for the same-sized bottle about 5$ cheaper. Score. I made the purchase and hightailed it outta there in time for the bus to hazardously storm the curb and dashed on home for some gooooood solo-drinking. Ahhhhh... I can practically taste the rehab. read more

Red White & Bubbly is by far the best wines and Spirits store I've ever been to. I will be honest, I am not much of a wine drinker, but when I do purchase wine whether it be for leisure drinking or a special occasion, I visit this shop. They have an extensive variety of wines, locally and from all over the world. The staff is always helpful and informative. The Staff is quick to recommend a good wine whether you're a wine expert or occasional drinker like me. Their wine prices are competitively low, compared to other wine shops in the neighborhood, but i must admit that their Liquor is very expensive. They don't specialize on Liquor, although they do have a good variety, they mostly specialize in Wine and Champagne. Purchase any Wine Bottle or Champagne and ask them to chill it for you, they have a Wine chiller "Machine thing" that chills the Wine bottles in minutes at no additional cost. I recommend. read more

Very solid-I don't know as much as wine as I would like-Red, White and Bubbly-this is the wine store closest to my new apartment and delightfully close to the Union St R stop. The perfect place to pick up some drinkable viddles on your way to that bday party, housewarming etc. They have this new brand of Brooklyn wine-in addition to being a proud 718 transplant it is very tasty especially the red variety. read more

I think the most unfortunate part of Red, White, and Bubbly is that it's the closest wine shop to my apartment. I never think a place is over-staffed, but I definitely get the vibe that this place is. I don't need 3 people watching me browse a wine selection, especially if all of them are just lounging behind the counter. Go stock or clean something. Their selection is mediocre, overall. I will say, however, that I do enjoy that they have a cool room in the back that has some really interesting things. Outside, their wines and expertise seem limited to just a few certain (common) areas. I could care less about tastings if they're like this. Who eats Chinese food while tasting people on pinot noirs? You can't smell the subtleties of a wine's bouquet if you're inundated with MSG and chow mein fumes. Go make the trek to Sip, Slope Cellars, Big Nose/Full Body, Borisal, Shawn, or Sterling Grapes and Grains. read more

This is the only wine/liquor shop on the stroll from my house over to my friends...and now I'm going to have to find a new route. Their wine selection is sucky--it's either low-end slosh (Monkey Bay) or way too expensive for my Sunday night boozefest. Vodka selection is pretty bad as well. The kicker is the poor attitude of the staff. I pointed out a baseball wine cork topper and said it was "cute." Register boy responded (with an eye roll): "it's a baseball". RUDE. read more

The best part about this store is the picks of the month which are all under $10 and you get a 15% discount if you buy a case of one of the picks of the month. Plus, you can buy them in this cute 4-pack that has an insert describing the wines and making a great gift! I have found some fantastic cheap wines this way. I mean cheap like you can serve them at home with your dinner every night, not cheap like bbbuh bye bbbuh bum. For scotch I shop at Astor Place Warehouse because it's cheaper. read more

Whenever we stop by to grab a bottle of wine, there is always a distributor from a vineyard that has a wine-taster set up. Though this store is convenient to get to and has a variety of wines from all regions, I have never found any wine or a variety of the Sangiovese grape that I just loved. The prices are mid to high when compared to the value/quality for the wine bottle. They do sell some hard liquors (e.g., Whiskey) as well. read more

Great prices, amazing staff, a large selection, and well organized. any time I wander around without a clue as to what to get, someone always helps me out, but isn't pushy. read more

I may not know wine like the pros do, but I do know when a place is clean, sharp, and has excellent service. Their prices are slightly above average, but it's a better option than your average liquor store. They made me feel right at home, despite the fact that I had no idea what I was purchasing. read more

Not the cheapest option in the 'hood, but it's on my block and they've recently added shelves of cheap wine right up front (sorted by price), which makes my life easy. They've got a small, curated variety liquors, but the selection is usually too rich for my blood. The staff is usually friendly and quite helpful. Today a nice man gave me a crash course on sparkling reds. Chill that shiz for 40 minutes only! read more

I like this little wine shop. The help was really friendly and useful, and didn't try to sell me the most expensive bottle, but was more concerned with what I was paring it with. The shop is well laid out, easy to browse, and I enjoyed it. :) Yum. read more

They Have a Great New York Selection of Wines when you feel like drinking locally. read more

I used to live around the corner, and I miss this place. The staff here is top notch. They know their wine in and out. Every bottle on the shelves they can tell you about. If you're cooking, or just having friends over, tell the staff what you're looking for and they can whip up several choices at whatever your price point is They are very friendly and frequently have tastings of wine and liquors in the store. There is a big selection of wines, and they have four featured wines per month that are on special. The prices are good for wine- a little pricey for liquor, but this is predominately a wine shop so go to a liquor store for vodka. If you're in the area and need wine, come to this place- you won't be disappointed. read more

This review is solely on customer service. I've passed by this particular wine shop hundreds of times and have always wanted to check it out. I finally had the opportunity to stop by yesterday as I was looking for a particular bottle of wine for my boyfriend's father. Upon entering I could tell that there was a decent selection; therefore, I thought it might be my lucky day. Since I was looking for something particular and didn't have time to aimlessly browse I asked the gentlemen behind the counter. They both responded that they didn't carry the wine I was looking for. The issue I have is that they didn't even try to sell me anything else or attempt to compare it to something that they do carry. I left wineless and feeling dejected. In my opinion the customer service was definitely lacking. I will not be returning. read more

Just went here to get some wine and the person helping me was so rude and condescending. He basically made fun of the wine I like because they don't carry it which immediately turned me off. I walked away from him and followed me and began to point out the flaws of every wine I was looking at. It was so uncomfortable because it was unwarranted. I never asked for his help he just came up to which was so weird. He mentioned the wine he liked the most was the was that was 60 dollars a bottle. Never coming back here. read more

I love coming to this place for all my wine & spirits needs. Kyle, Mario and Andy are so knowledgeable of their inventory and their recommendations are always on point! read more

Love this place! Great wine selection and very nice people! Their monthly "Best Buys" pack is always awesome.

Used to love Red, White & Bubbly, still like it and have shopped there for years - the owner is a sage-like wine wizard with a great thing going. He's got these little cards with excellent descriptions, pointing you in the right direction for wines at all price ranges + a great selection and decor. There's just one problem: the music the workers have been playing lately, for lack of a better word, SUCKS! Seriously, it is the worst of the worst: bad dance/pop for commercial radio (Nicky Minaj, Kesha, Beiber).The same garbage you hear in suburban shopping malls. Not saying they have to play classical or jazz, although it would be a huge step up. As a pro-musician, I'm open to anything, just not homogenized tracks targeting those with the cultural sophistication of McDonald''s. Especially when I'm buying wine. Sadly, the people working there seem to not know better and enjoy it. They seem better suited working in Forever 21 or Aeropostale. If it weren't for this, I would give RW & B 5 stars. read more

WOW.. I used to shop here quite a bit. I don't live in NY anymore, but was there last week and went in for some wine. The second I walked in, I knew something had changed since last year. and not for the better. The wines were much more expensive and the wine selection had become much more mediocre. Sad. So I asked and found out that Darrin had sold out his part. Well it never was quite artisinal enough for me but now they are mostly selling commmercial large production stuff you can buy anywhere. read more

Best Wine Shop Ever. I buy the 4-pack of great under-$10 wines every month without fail. They have more expensive wines too if you're some sort of fancy-wine drinker. Great selection all around. There's also a pretty standard selection of hard liquors. read more

Let me say this.....I LOVE WINE. Some may say a little too much..... Some may even go as far as to call me a "wino". Judge away if you please people, it just makes this Yelpin that much more reliable. I just moved to Park Slope after living in California and wine tasting up and down the entire state. This place has a great wine selection and the staff really knows their stuff. For a booze hound on a budget this place has something for everyone at reasonable prices. They frequently do wine tasting in the back and I have picked up some excellent bottles I wouldn't have know about otherwise. Great place to run in a grab something basic for a party or explore the selection a little more closely and get something unique. Cheers read more
