Omega Wines & Spirits Agig Liquors

After calling practically every liquor store in Astoria on a Sunday evening trying to find a special bottle with no luck, I was thrilled when the helpful man I spoke to at Omega (which I found on Unilocal) said they carried Glenlivet XXV. He said he could deliver it within the hour & even offered to wrap it since it was a spontaneous gift for my husband. He even gave me a great price for it! I will definitely be calling in the future… was very impressed with the hard to find inventory as well as the top notch customer service. And hubby is enjoying his rare & tasty libation!

This store literally has everything you could ask for. I mostly like their selection of Greek drinks. The people that work there are very friendly and always offering to help or make a suggestion.

Ever since I started tinkering with cocktail-​making I’ve begun favoring certain brands; so, I was delighted to find 10 Cane Rum at Omega. 10 Cane Rum is best in mojitos. It blows cheaper brands like Atlantico and Don Q out of the water. $ 32 may be pricy, (you can get away with Brugal, which is still around $ 26) but this is THE rum for a quality mojito. I’ve searched for 10 Cane at Astor Wines, Warehouse Wines in the Village, Angel Wines in Astoria, and Adega Wines around the corner. None of them had this liquor (Omega also stocks local vodka brands: Brooklyn Republic and Liv) & none of them has a stash of open bottles behind the counter that they’re happy to pour out a taster for you.
After they shared some with me, I ended up purchasing a bottle of Skinos ($ 32). If you’re looking for a sweet liquor to mix with, or even just to have chilled (the store clerk told me they drink this as a digestif in Greece), I highly recommend Skinos. It’s a great substitute for vodka, especially in the sweeter drinks such as a Screwdriver and a Moscow Mule.
Omega is not the cheapest liquor store around (I still find the Village Warehouse Wines to be cheaper), but if their prices are any more it’s usually only by a few dollars– and there are the free tastings. They definitely beat everyone on that.
They also have a whole shelf dedicated to Greek liquors. These you definitely can’t find at liquor stores in the City.

Definitely the best wine and liquor store in Astoria. I have never seen such a large selection of wine before. They have any and everything you could think of, from many different countries. The staff is always willing to take a walk around the store with you to recommend something that fits your needs. They make you feel like a friend that would be drinking right along with you. I especially love the vodka, tequila, and whiskey selections — they always have something new or cool. This place is my go-​to for bday gifts & holiday gifts. Irene recommended me a few white wines for xmas, which were all a hit. Theres a parking lot, very rare for Astoria, and a great place for coffee and pastries next door, Artopolis, which makes it a convenient one stop shop. I recommend omega to all of my friends and family, and go there often. Really appreciate a place like this in Astoria.

The selection is fine. The problem is the owner.
He got an allotment of Van Winkle bourbons. He had a bottle of 15 year on the shelf for a while but refused to sell it. Its his bourbon – he doesn’t have to sell it. But why keep it on the shelf?
Today I went it and he had a bottle of 10 and 12 year Van Winkle bourbon on the shelf. He wouldn’t sell them to me. When I persisted as to why they’d keep them on the shelf if they’re not for sale, they said its for display. I said I really wanted to buy one, and he said he’d sell the 10 year for $ 750.
$ 750!
Its a $ 50 bottle of bourbon.
It left such a sour taste in my mouth. Its a terrible business practice. I was sincerely disappointed and won’t return.

Probably the best wine store in New York for Greek wines, which are still very much undiscovered and bountiful in varietals. Very large selection of Greek wines, to lesser known labels and practically every wine you could want including some of the more high end Greek wines.
And, it’s quite a nice shop and convenient location next to Mediterranean Foods for dry products, Artopolis the best Greek confectioner, and a quality Greek butcher. So everything you need for preparing a nice dinner for guests is right there.

Of all the liquor joints, in all the towns, in all the world, I choose to continue to walk into this one, Omega Wines & Spirits.
Everyone at Omega is friendly, helpful, and sometimes funny. Ha-​Ha. I have yet to have or cause a bad experience in this place and that’s a plus: D. And I just about love it when they have those free wine and liquor tastings, those are the best.
Also, I just found out about a week ago that not only do they have a Rewards Card but they have Gift Cards as well, what better gifts to give the fellow drunk in your life or your drunken selves?
See you guys soon!

So here’s the story: my boyfriend and I were looking to send a few cases of nice Malbec and a few bottles of good champagne to a friend who lived in Astoria. We searched in Manhattan and NO ONE would deliver to Queens. I knew that Grand Wine & Liquor was in Astoria and that it was as big as a K-​Mart so I figured they would deliver… they don’t. «Nothing under 20 cases», they said. Well, we like our friend but not that much.
Anyhow, we went to Queens one night and decided to just try several liquor stores in the area. After a few failed attempts, we found Omega on Unilocal,called them up and asked if they delivered — «Yep» Asked if they had French Malbecs — «Yep». Asked what time they closed — «10pm». It was 9:35 so we booked it over there.
Forty minutes later, Chris and Alex — the two guys working there — had not only helped us to select 6 different Malbecs, 4 bottles of champagne, and an attractive arrangement for packaging, but they had done it all with patience and kindness. And humor — funny guys! :) It was great. I miss customer service like that. What could have been a really tedious task turned out to be a nice opportunity to meet two cool people, find out a little more about wine, and go home feeling happy for a job well done.
Well done Omega. We’ll be back for sure.

Billy is a knowledgeable dude. Prices are as always, good for a few select things. Surprisingly though, it’s not super expensive for other things. (I’m surprised because people price things in Astoria like they’re a wannabe UES store.)
A great thing about this store: mini-​bottles. They have a great selection, featuring some bottles I’ve never seen before, like a mini Amaretto DiSarono.

Omega is the best Wine /​Liquor store in Astoria. The staff helps you choose a wine that YOU want. It’s not like other shoppes where they try to push you on whatever they’ve decided they need to sell at some outrageous price. And speaking of price, Omega always has reasonable prices. From cheap table wine, to a special occasion splurge, the selection is great. And again– the staff. They are always friendly. ALWAYS, I say. Everybody has a bad day, and can snap at somebody. But these guys are always polite, funny and appreciative of your business.
We ordered a couple of cases for delivery right before Hurricane Sandy, and the guy didn’t even want to accept the tip.

Fast and friendly service! Would also recommend this place for great deals as well!

What a knowledgeable crew! Amazing selection with excellent prices. My sin is that I go way to often to liquors stores, but I had never been as happy as with OMEGA! I started to get to know the owners and it is a family business! The biggest selection of Greek wines but not only. I love that they have tastings so often and they keep an open bottle of all of their new products so you can try before you buy which means they try all their products too. I am happy that I found this place plus they have parking. For me «As good as it gets!»

Fantastic selection and great prices. If you are looking for Greek wine, this place has a selection of the best (not to mention Spanish and Italian and French and American). The prices are fantastic as well. I don’t understand why it’s not more crowded.

Omega is officially my new favorite wine store. They moved into the Agora Plaza, right next to Artopolis, and the new space is so much bigger than their previous location. We’ve been in a few times now and everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. They have a WONDERFUL selection of really nice wines for any budget, and they also carry a huge selection of hard-​to-​find spirits. Definitely much better than the other stores in the area.

best liquor store. billyyss the mannnn! love this place, always so friendly and helpful. great prices. defiantly recommend this place!

The guys behind the counter are very nice & helpful, and the prices are a bit cheaper than the big liquor store around the corner, so I always go here for my booze runs. They might not have the biggest selection in Astoria, but they always have just what I’m looking for.
