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 staff was really inattentive and barely noticed that I had walked in. The owner, was standing off to the side yapping away with the only other customer besides me, about his experiences as the boss man. G&I is a grab and go type of place. It's not a place to linger or inquire about wines and spirits. Just get your stuff and get out. That's just what I did with my can of Rosé. Prices are reasonable.

Overpriced. I've…read morebeen here on many occasions, mostly to get Baileys for my coffee. On the occasions, it was to purchase wines. I never really noticed how overpriced they were until my last visit. There was another guy, who came in almost at the same time, and he was taken aback by some of their prices, and voiced his displeasure. The store is a decent size, they offer a decent selection, but as I've mentioned, they are overpriced. I understand it's Downtown Brooklyn, but their are other places downtown, that don't overcharge this bad. I'll probably just stick to the Baileys only.

Huge store, friendly staff, nice assortment!!

It is a large warehouse style shop. You would think it has a lot of Spirits but in fact it is much more of a wine shop. It is easy to shop for two major reasons. Number 1-The wine selection is large, spaced out, and organized by country / region/ varietal / then price. And number 2- the staff is plentiful, knowledgeable, and willing to help out! A pleasure! I recently bought some excellent German Trocken Riesling, recommended by a staff member. The wine was fairly priced and excellent. I also bought a bottle of Provence Rose', recommended by another staff member, which I will drink this Sunday for Father's Day. Well, as my father used to say, "we shall see what we shall see.". Five stars to my father and Astor Wine and Spirits.

Used to be great, with helpful and friendly employees. Now, the shop seems only focused on online…read moreorders.

Note that the prices here are on the higher side and there aren't a ton of options for each liquor type, but if you're not picky and are looking for something convenient in the area, this is the place for you. Also be aware that the larger bottles of liquor are placed on the shelves throughout the store, and the medium and small sized bottles are behind the cashier. I was not aware of this when I came in looking for gin and vermouth and thought I'd have to buy bottles that would last me 10 years.
