As one of the oldest liquor stores in the borough (#1), Grand Wine & Liquor has been a consistent…read moresource of finding a good variety of wine and spirits from all corners of the globe. It is the quintessential neighborhood store, and centrally located in the heart of Astoria. While their international selection is good, they seem to have a robust specialty on Greek wines and spirits (#2). From ouzo to retsina and Santorini wines, it's a very impressive inventory of not-so-common stuff. This also extends to parts of France, Italy, and other not-so-well known parts of eastern Europe. Customer service is generally good, though they are prone to some snafus when it comes to helping folks find liquors and/or mixups on pricing. When in doubt, check the website and pricing is available, as well as online ordering and local delivery. ___________ (#1) Supposedly since the 1930s. (#2) So fitting for the neighborhood.

I stopped into Grand Wine & Liquors looking for a good Malbec, and I was pleasantly surprised by…read moretheir selection. They carry quite a few options from different regions, which is more than I can say for a lot of local spots. I ended up picking a bottle from southern France -- a 2023 VSE (Vino San Esteban) Private Selection Malbec for $9.99. It was a solid choice for the price -- dry, with a nice touch of spice and ripe red fruit notes. Great value if you're into bold reds without spending a fortune. The tall guy working there (wish I caught his name) was super helpful and pointed me in the right direction. It's always nice when staff actually seem to care about helping you find something you'll enjoy.

For any occasion, this spot has the wine(s) YOU need. They have great dry red wine options! Chile and Argentina Cabernet Sauvignon for the win!! Want more umph and rawr? They got you too - whiskey, tequila, etc., but selection appears limited compared to wine varieties. If you plan on frequenting this spot, sign up for their reward system - I believe you get something free at some point. What's neat is you don't have to show your I.D. each time if you're in the system, and they keep track of your drinking habit. *Hope you're not signing anything too serious.

What a cute little wine spot on Broadway!…read more First off a little shoutout to John. We stopped by here last night after dinner and he was teaching us about all these different wines and liquors. We even had a little tasting of some. I was able to buy some mini moonshine for our Friendsgiving at $2.99 a bottle. They were so cute and come in so many flavors I might just add them as stocking stuffers for my friends. My best friend bought a nice bottle of wine. Definitely coming back here since they said they would look into getting wine from Peru for me. Again, thank you for having us. We will back soon for that bottle of pisco for the holidays!

I walked away with a Lambruso Secco, Cotes du Rhone, and a 300 mL bottle of Sake.

They offer a loyalty club whereby you can earn points and savings and also have free tastings on Fridays and Saturdays. I plan to make this one of my regular go to shops for alcohol purchases.

My husband and I have been trying to branch out, so I stop into wine stores from time to time to stump them :) Well, the person that helped me, Ivan, was great. I gave him the whole spiel, told him the one wine I did like and then told him to have at it. He gave me three different options right off the bat. When trying to decide between a strawberry mascato and a peach one, he brought up something I never would have considered. It was something along the lines of 'I don't really drink the ones with color because they have food dyes. Why would you want to drink that?' Great point Ivan, great point. I usually look at labels because I'm a picky eater but that made a lot of sense to me. He also gets extra points because he didn't try to up-sell the more expensive wines. I ended up *loving* the mascato that I got, so much so that I've bought 3 bottles since then. If I didn't live on the opposite of the world (near the Brooklyn end of the Q line), I would definitely go back. Their prices are also much better than I've found in my neighborhood.

It's like flying insects to those zapper lights. You walk by this place at night and you're just strangely drawn to it. Even if your liquor cabinet is full.

They are always super friendly, they give you space to browse, and they are happy to answer questions, too. They have a nice selection of wines and spirits, but it's not so large a selection that you stand there staring at the mile long wall for 45 minutes trying to decide which of the 500 labels you are going to purchase. Sometimes less of a selection, if it's a quality selection, is better. I'm no sommelier, but I do know a good Malbec when I taste one, and I've found several good ones here.

This is a simple local liquor store with a good-not amazing selection of wine and spirits. For whiskey, I always thought their selection was very tasteful and prices were probably the best in the city. They still have good prices on staples but whereas they used to keep highly allocated bottles behind the counter only and if you asked about prices they might have a small markup from retail value. Now a glass case adjacent to the counter is filled with allocated stuff priced at about secondary market value. I can understand this from a business perspective, in a way it's just supply and demand, but as someone who frequents this establishment for its local feel, I would have liked to see them deal with high demand items by making them accessible to repeat customers via raffle or just putting them out for everyone at retail prices. I'll still come here but it's too bad about the secondary prices mentioned above.

I picked this place because I needed to send a birthday gift to a friend that lived nearby. The website to order from is super user friendly. I was very pleased with their selection and am completely understanding that not everything will be in stock due to the situation. They even had time slots for deliveries which was a huge plus. Once you complete your order you get text alerts which is super helpful. Support Local and give this place a shot for any of your alcohol needs if you live in the area or want to send a gift to somebody that lives close by.

There is a lot of liquor stores in the area, but this is my favorite one! The staff is friendly and helpful, not pushy at all. Sometimes I need more time to decide what I want and nobody bothers me. I really appreciate that. In January it was my dad's birthday. I had no idea what to buy for him. I came here and ask if they have gift cards. My dad is really picky with the wine he drinks, so didn't wanna take a risk. Unfortunately they said no. I was about to leave when the lady stopped me and said that we can work something out. She said that she can give me the business card with her signature and the amount I wanna give and that will work as a gift card. I was worried that my dad may have problems using it but she told me that she is the owner and assured me there will be no problems. And there wasn't. They really care about their customers and that's another reason why I like to come here.

The *only*…read morething I'm not super fond of is the fact I've experienced some 'tude via the phone on multiple occasions. For that, I have to detract a star, but even so this is a pretty quality operation that merits a look. The store seems small, but the layout is conducive to the stellar selection of wine and spirits. Furthermore the place is clean and doesn't have that musty odor that many liquor stores tend to have. Those spots smell like unkept basements, while this place could be someone's home. They have a really awesome selection of wines and quality imports such as a decent soju and sake collection. I also appreciate their line of spirits and how organized everything seems to be. For collectors or gift givers, they have some really neat high end versions of various spirits which come in specialized boxes / collection / kits, etc. The prices are as good as the selection. Not too expensive and certainly affordable considering this place has a loyalty system (points per purchase) that can be redeemed after buying a certain amount of bottles. in terms the overall package, Muho is one of the better liquor stores in the neighborhood.
