Shon 45 Wine & Spirits

Staff was nice, showing me that a bottle of white was in the fridge. But the bottle had gone bad and was undrinkable. I find this unacceptable, you need to keep track of how old bottles are, and if they’ve gone bad, throw them away

The only thing that I like about this place is that they do delivery for free with a minimum of $ 25-​$ 30 until 11pm. I’ve called them and tried their recommendations a couple of times — 50% was good, 50% was disappointing. Don’t think they have a great selection of wine lists, but if you know your favorite wineries and don’t feel walking over the 8^th ave in the late evening, just call them for the delivery service. They are pretty quick.

Called at 12.30 to check if they were open…
Hi just checking you are open!‘
Answer from the cashier– what do you think!
Here what I think me moustache— I wouldn’t have to call and check if you were open, if you were open at 12pm like your suppose to be?

It’s a decent place to get alcohol, price is a little high but you get what you need.

Ummm, what?
Went on my lunch break here to get a bottle of wine as a going away gift for a co-​worker. I ended up waiting 25 minutes outside since the store clerk decided to disappear in the middle of the day, leaving a note in the window «be back in 10 mins». Won’t go again. EVER. Oh and btw, store owner, your guy lost you 5 customers in that 25 minutes I was waiting. I woulda been right behind them if the bottle I was shopping for was for me. If you must, you should probably call before you head over. Who closes in midtown manhattan during lunch hours? That’s the $$$ time slot! Duh.

I’ve only come here on occasions where it’s kind of an emergency (because I like to take care of emergencies with wine, lol) and I need to pick something up in this neighborhood.
This place isn’t absolutely awful — I’d rate it 3.5 stars if I could. It’s just that I’ve been to so many other wine/​liquor stores in which people have been so much more knowledgeable, nicer and the selection has been so much better that’s it’s tough to give this place more than 1 thumb slightly up.
Most wines here are priced around $ 15 and up with a few of the not so good ones sprinkled around $ 12 – 13. I’ve gotten some fantastic wines for like $ 9 – 10 and I know the difference when someone tries to convince me that some random $ 16 bottle is great — price point should not be the sole indicator of a wine (or wine shop’s) quality since there’s other things like the year, type of grape, where it’s from, etc.
My 3 star rating comes from the look I was given when I asked for my favorite French red. Yes I’m pronouncing it right. No, I even found it on the shelf (over priced for being 2011) and yes, you’ve clearly never heard of it nor did you know your shop *does* carry it. FAIL.
I’ll be back I’m sure because this place is in my work hood’, but let it be known that it’s not because I necessarily want to come back…

I Really didn’t know that there was a liquore store in this area! i came here to get some quick liquor for some egg nog i had! i didn’t check other prices in the store but i got some VSOP. came out to 17 bucks for the liter i believe?
if you need to find a quick liquor spot in the midtown times square area i say go here!

This is a great little local wine and booze place. Mostly good for wine.
It wasn’t my first choice of wine store, but is way closer to my apartment than Vintner Wine Market. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant. My favorite part about this store is that every day they have deals near the register of different kinds of wine — so i usually go in and grab just what they have there to try different kinds for a lower price. They also do wine tastings, which they list on their FB.

Mostly wine, light on the spirits selection. Prices are nothing special. It’s crazy cramped in there.

I get good servie here. The prices are what you would expect for the location. Selection is good for wine, bad for liquor and chamange. I did not see any beer.
The help knows what is a good deal, so make sure you ask.
Still looking for an economical alternative.

EF this place. You want to pay waaaay more than any other liquor store on earth? Try here. They sell Johnny Walker blue for $ 300 — 750mL. That average price is like $ 160.
Total jerks, too.

This is your typical neighborhood liqueur store. They have a good variety of wines and hard alcohol as well as party supplies. My only gripe is that most of the bottles in the fridge do not have price stickers on them making it very difficult to decide which one to get, especially when your in a hurry. Most of the staff though is always more than happy to help, suggest and answer questions.

FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY
Seriously over priced. Seriously. They must be related to the 8^th Ave. Food Emporium. Go anywhere else and save.

service: if you get one of the asian guys who works there, nice and helpful. the latino guys are pretty dick. i ordered once by phone and the asshole straight-​up hung up on me. rude much?
overall: i guess the prices are comparable to the many liquor stores in a 5 block radius. don’t go out of your way for this place.
