THE BEST. I live out of state, and this is the only place out of state I trust to ship to me at a fair price and with care!!!! Steve and Phil are the best. They answer all my questions and pack every bottle with care. Highly recommend A+++++ Ton of selection. read more

Great selection of liquor and great prices. I often but wine closer to my house, but this is my go-to for spirits. Nice, friendly neighborhood spot. read more

Sterling Grapes and Grains has a great selection, hard to find items that I was thrilled to find. Prices are totally competitive. They shipped super fast and I appreciated the personalized communication. Items arrived very well packed. Will definitely order from them again! read more

Steve and Jeff are really awesome dudes. Took care of me beyond what they had to. I will be giving them all my business going forward. Awesome prices and service. Thanks Guys!!! read more

Sterling Grapes & Grains is another great example of small business that cares about their customers and is a neighborhood staple. Folks were really helpful in recommending options according to my budget, and I was able to buy a gift in a very timely manner after calling to confirm inventory. For those who like to shop online, as of Jan 2025, they use a cityhive platform for their online orders so it's a familiar interface for any wine/liquor enthusiasts that shop online often. As others mentioned too, they do offer delivery and they pack with care, so I was happy to use this when I couldn't stop by the store. Looking forward to working with Steve on my next shopping excursion! read more

Ordered online--received it well packaged and in short order. Great communication throughout as well. I'll be back for sure.

Did an online order and it was shipped even faster than expected--they called me and said there might be up to a 5 day delay because I ordered something that had to come from their distributor, but was shipped next day anyhow. Great customer service, fast shipping, and the prices you can see for yourself. read more

Awesome selection and even better service and communication! Extremely friendly, my new go to shop!

Great liquor store in the neighborhood!! The service is great- I was looking for a few specific bottles and they were really patient with helping me. Super fair prices and a wide selection. Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area! read more

If you want a variety of wine and liquor that's cheap in Brooklyn, this is the place to come to. They'll also deliver if you can't make it. The selection is large so they'll definitely have what you're looking for. Customer service is definitely the best I've ever gotten. They've given me recommendations on my preferences and helped me pick out choices I've never heard of! read more

Best Liquor store in Brooklyn! My parents have been going here since I was young and the workers/owners were always very friendly and knowledgeable. Always stop by here and there - prices are great and a huge variety of selection! read more

The best friendly, neighborhood wine/liquor store! All the staff here have become friends over time. I'm here at least twice per week, and someone is always available to help me select the perfect wine. They have a great variety from all over the world, but the best part is the price range - the have a shelf of wines starting at $7! My favorite when I need a glass after work, but I'm on a budget. They also have tastings of wine and liquor every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and you can join them for more formal, seated tastings if you follow the schedule on their Instagram. Overall, as good as it gets! read more

What's not to love? Local, great hours, super helpful and friendly staff and the selection is amazing. My go to liquor guys.

I have to say the new owners (I guess not that new anymore) are great. They're very knowledgeable and will throw in some humor if you want to chat about any of their liquors or wines. I sometimes stop by to see what wines they have on sale, though their prices are always very good - sale or no sale. I recently visited to but some soju, which is hard to find in this neighborhood. I wish they had some flavored varieties but the fact that they had any soju to speak of means their selection is . Lastly, they offer a delivery service. I haven't taken advantage of that yet but am excited to try this out. read more

Variety wine and liquor High end to low end Price Great customer service What else can you ask for? read more

The best liquor store in town! They have almost everything you need and the delivery is fast and effective. They are a bit pricey, but there service is top shelf! read more

Where do I start! Great selection of alcohol at reasonable prices. Randomly stumbled upon this place on my way to my friends house warming and was shocked at the selection they had. Space was very tidy and clean, staff were friendly, and good alcohol! If you're looking to get tipsy, this is your place Thank me later! read more

Three stars for the overall experience in delivery and prices of wines. But I'd like to remind the owner of a bad experience with one of the delivery drivers. This man, who I believe was hispanic, was at my door and by the time I opened the door and gave him the money and said, "Here's 26.00..." He then LODGED his foot at my door and then said it was 21.66. I was a bit stunned. I told the delivery driver that I thought it was 20.66....he still LODGED his foot at my door while looking at the receipt ... and finally said, "Okay....I guess." When I called the manager and asked what my bill was, and he said it was for 20.66. I think that delivery driver should be disciplined so this does not happen again. So unnecessary and definitely intimidating and unprofessional. read more

Super helpful workers and a large catalog of liquor. They have holiday exclusives and relatively inexpensive. Appreciate the delivery aspect to local areas as it saves time from my busy schedule. Cheers! read more

This has become my favorite wine store in the area. The new owners are so friendly and amazing. The in-store tasting have been superior lately. Also, I Love Italian wine and their selection has blossomed. They have all my favorites. read more

See all

My friends recommended this wine store to me, and rightly so; the prices are right, the selection is good , I only drink white wine these days, but they had a nice selection of reds and spirits as well. I would definitely go there again. It's not fancy but it's got a good wine, and good prices, and great service. read more

All the usual things you might want and then some. They're starting to curate a more and more interesting selection. Maceration wines, ancient method, organic. Support this great friendly neighborhood spot! Crown Royal for my aunt and weirdo natural wines for me. read more

This is, in my opinion, the best liquor store on 5th Avenue, possibly even in all of Park Slope. And I'm a drinking professional. This isn't your typical wine boutique that's trying to capitalize on all the stroller moms with money. This place has been here for decades, when the neighborhood was still a sketchy place to be. There's no glam here. They're neighborly ("look at our new lotto machine!") and they've got a great selection. Yes, they do carry things like Yellowtail, Berigner and all that mass-produced crap, but they cater to all. They have something for everyone, and their prices are great. For example, I was in love with this Oregon Fume Blanc that I bought elsewhere for $14 (just down a few blocks). They had it here for $9.99. I don't know how they do it, but they do. I also know that they have a pretty good whiskey selection as well - not that it's super amazing, but I've seen things here I haven't seen at Astor. Plus, they have the biggest selection of mini-bottles I've ever seen. I know, I know, that's not usually a plus, since it tends to attract vagrants and drunkards. But they have minis of liqueurs and spirits that I've never seen in that size before - a good investment if you want to try something before you buy a full size (Killepitsch, St. Germain). Did I mention they deliver? But whatever. You needed to go to the Key Foods across the street anyway. read more

I hand them $5, they hand me a bottle of wine, I don't know of any other liquor store on 5th Avenue where that is possible. Also, they stock at least 3 types of Bota Box at all times. This review makes me sound like a bum. :( Perhaps I'll stop by SG&G after work today to pick up a $10.99 bottle to restore my self-worth. read more

Great selections and employees! I was looking for a specific Japanese whiskey and the employees really take their time to help me find it. During the visit, I observed many customers are long-time customers who know the employees by name and love the selections they have in store. If you have a chance, stop by and try their sample selections they have. read more

Decor wise, it's nothing special. But maybe that's why it has such good prices. The selection of inexpensive wine is, based on the few things I've tried, is very good. Nice people but I don't know if I'd trust them to recommend expensive wines. But maybe I'm wrong... Borderline 4 stars, read more

I am not a big yelper, but I gotta say, hats off to this establishment for going above and beyond for me when my vodka got into a fight with the sidewalk. I will be a regular (insofar as I want to be a regular of a liquor store). read more

Best grapes and grain store in park slope They deliver and are the nicest helpful ppl St. Johns and 5th loves them. read more

This place is the best. I always order my wine for delivery from them and the same nice guy shows up very quickly. They have the best customer service and selection. This mama is grateful for you guys! read more

I'm not one to usually write a review, but this place changed my mind. Came here because the usual spot was closed and was incredibly satisfied with that decision. Huge selection to choose from and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly in helping me choose. I've got a new favorite spot. Would definitely recommend! read more

Came in off a recommendation from a friend to get a bottle of wine for a dinner with a few friends and the staff did not disappoint! Super helpful after I told them what we were planning to have and they recommended a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for our meal. Would definitely come back again! read more

This store has always been the best, and my go to wine and liquor spot in the neighborhood; they are friendly, reasonably priced with a great selection, and give great recs. With the covid pandemic they've really gone above and beyond- taking orders via phone or even DMs, choosing great wines despite my limited wine lingo, quick deliveries, and the ability to swipe your card with their delivery person! Thankful to have such a wonderful spot in the neighborhood! read more

The stores in a great location with a solid selection of alcohol. There's tastings and a friendly staff that are a good help. I had a pleasant experience and would recommend dropping by here for your liquor needs. Will be coming back here again . read more

Hands down one of the best liquor stores I have stepped foot in. Not only do they have a huge selection of what ever it is you need, the staff is very friendly and keep the place very clean. And their prices are very good. Definitely would recommend to anyone that asks for a liquor store. read more

This is definitely a no-frills establishment, so for the lack of atmosphere I knocked off a star, but this place is pretty great overall. They've got a friendly staff that will point you to wines that fit your taste and budget, and a nice selection that's cheaper than the fancier wine shops in the area. And it's right across from Key Foods! They have a credit card minimum, but they tend to be flexible if you don't make the $15 limit. read more

A very nice and clean store with friendly employees :D..there was a huge selection on almost everything! I was able to pick some wines and jamison for a party for reasonable price ($). I would definitely recommend this liquor store to anyone around the area. read more

We call Sterling about once a month to have them deliver some of our favorite liquids. They know us now and take the order over the phone, give us the price (always among the lowest) and show up within the hour. What's not to like? If they don't have what you want, ask and they'll get it for you. This is exactly the kind of wine/liquor store every neighborhood needs (and that so few have). read more

Nice store. Clean. Quick service. Staff is always friendly. Prices are ok considering the location, not too crazy. They have a big selection of Spirits and Wines. My favorite spot to buy around the area. read more

Sweet shop keepers, friendly, and fairest prices for park slope!

Best liquor store around the area! Needed a few bottles for a party but didn't know what everybody wanted. Staff was very helpful and the party loved their recommendations. Cant beat their prices! Very clean and friendly staff! read more
