While we were in the area, we decided to stop by this liquor store…read more Staff: The staff here seemed like they were bored as there were not many customers at the time. However, they were helpful in locating certain alcoholic drinks in the store. The staff was friendly and greeted us with a warm welcome. Items: Besides alcohol, they also sell cigars, cigarettes, and bags of ice. Cleanliness: The store was clean with no trash visible to the customers eyes. All the shelves and areas were neatly organized. Prices: The prices for alcohol like most liquor stores and depends on the item you are purchasing. Overall: I would come back to this location but sometimes it is a pain to enter and exit since it is located off of route 1 south.

So I would say they have a great selection of fine wines. At first I didn't think so. When you walk…read morein it's your usual typical cheap selections then there is is stairwell to a room FILLED with wine almost like a secret room or something which I though was pretty cool. The gentleman in there who I think is responsible for stocking the shelves seems to be VERY knowledgeable with wine. He was able to point me in the direction of wines that I was asking. And unfortunately there was one particular white they didn't have (and he knew what it was but he said most of the community wouldn't look for that) they have a pretty decent selection. At least they have champagne with champagne and Prosecco with Prosecco and don't clump all their sparkling wines under the champagne label. Also everything is separated by region / varietals which makes it great to narrow your choice down. Overall for where the store is located. Very great selection.

So disappointed in how Nostrand Wines and Liquors is run after being around for so long. This place…read moreis several years old and I only buy booze here when I'm pressed for time. It gives old, dusty, decades behind, "liquh sto" energy and that's NOT a flex! This was the first place I ever purchased canned wine from and on this hot summer Friday afternoon, they didn't have any. It's dark inside from open to close and just not a very nice place anymore!

Was in Reliance Wine and Liquors a few minutes ago when I experienced extremely rude behavior from…read morethe man behind the counter to an elderly woman. The elderly woman was paying for her items when she said "Happy Easter" to the man and woman behind the counter. The woman responded politely however the man just stared at her so the elderly woman repeated her gesture when he said "Yeah. Whatever." with no expression, an angry tone and almost an angry look on his face? I understand not everyone enjoys certain holidays but his response was just plain rude. Probably won't be returning and will be going elsewhere that has decent customer service.

"You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense" -- Charles Bukowski…read more In the passage of my travels in Woodhaven, Queens I desired wine to chill the long holiday weekend. A local liquor store that visibly appears very weary having been in existence for many years. Customer service is not entirely attentive nor enthusiastic when inquiring for specific red wines either: Chianti or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. The male staff bluntly stated upfront: "we don't have a large selection" who walked with me to show me their selection and then suddenly walked in opposite direction of me. This dude then continued to do whatever task he appears to be heavily previously engrossed at the cashier counter as it appears that a customer like myself was disrupting and disturbing his precious work. Thus, he passed and dismissed me like a unwanted animate object to his colleague to assist with my purchase. Egregiously vulgar. When sifting through their selection, it is indeed, a small selection of these Italian red wines on their shelf. Bad customer service. Customers of this business appears to be egregiously vulgar, insolent lacking etiquette and social behavior skills. As I was standing in the aisle browsing their red wine selection one dude aggressively pushed his way through me without voicing the standard courtesy "excuse me." No professional proprietary or decorum. Insolent! Casa Vinicola Ruffino, Chianti (Toscana, Pontassieve, Italy) 2016 $8.45 Splendid medium bodied, dry red. Good price. Decent wine.
