Lots of variety (types of grapes, types of alcohol and regions) and some wines at very affordable price points.

My goto wine place when buying a case. Can't beat the 20% off and a pleasant store to browse bottles at your own pace.

Great wine selection with decent prices. There is a 10% off discount when you buy 6 bottles. Happy to have it in the neighborhood!

Its one of the few amazing stores in NYC. I will begin with that I am the CEO of a private Jet Service and my clients expect the best. I happen to walk into this store on a particular day and happen to talk to the actual wine buyer Helen Thompson. I call myself a wine and champagne enthusiasts until I had the honor to speak with her about my needs. Helen by far is one of the most astute wine buyers I have ever met. I told her if I ever open a restaurant she can be my SOMMELIER she is amazing all I can say is wow. If I can give 10 stars I would. If you are in NYC see her, if you need any wines call her. A MUST SEE AND BUY. THANK YOU HELEN THOMPSON.

Ive been shopping at Whole Foods for so long now and was so surprised to see that I never noticed this beautiful store connected to it. The prices are great. Amazing specials. Amazing staff, everyone is there to help you out and make sure you have a good experience in the store. If you're in the area you can also order products directly to your home. I am a huge fan of this store and hope it continues to do well.

Whole Foods as a whole isn't my most favorite grocery store. Organic shmorganic blah blah. But their wine shop... that is a different story. And the Whole Foods wine shop in the UWS is nice, y'all. It's well stocked with dozens and dozens of bottles to choose from - some you've seen elsewhere and others you haven't. The shop is easy to navigate too - separated by region - and prices aren't too crazy - bottles started at around $10 and went up from there. Worthy of a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

Not to be confused with the beer section of the Whole Foods market, this is a separate store that is part of the big Whole Foods on Columbus Avenue in Manhattan Valley/UWS. They recently changed their layout and it feels more spacious and easier to peruse their aisles full of grapey goodness and a faster check out process as well. This is actually my favorite store to buy wine without having to feel like I need to be an expert in order to appreciate wine. I am a rum gal myself but the customer service is more laid back than other liquor/wine markets and not in your face about what you are looking for. There are tons of inexpensive bottles and different varietals. A lot of their areas are separated by region but they also have areas designated to white, red, rose, bubbly and dessert wines. Check out their specials with brightly colored signs. They also have some bottles which are not stacked but located at the bottoms of the shelves in bins. They have some pretty fun flavors here as well. On a recent visit I spied the Jellybean brand for Easter and Red Velvet cupcake. They also have labels with funny names like Naked on Rollerskates and Ninja Girl Wine. I saw that they also carried a mulled wine to save you time from boiling a pot of your own with spices. They have a refrigerated section if you are heading straight to a party Tons to choose from if you are looking to make a yummy sangria and I just noticed that they actually have a small Japanese Sake and Plum Wine section now also. The Trader Joe Wine store now has some decent competition by Whole Foods with their Upper West Side wine store and the bonus is that it is not crowded. No lines around the corner of pre-apocalyptic hipster moms stocking up for the end of days. They even have their own brand called Three Wishes to compete with Trader Joes 2 buck chuck. In the $3 range. They make a charitable donation each time you buy a bottle if you want to feel good about your habit of drinking your weight in wine. Not suggested but hey to each their own. Good thing they make wine deliveries too if you buy any case of wine. Certain days they have culinary demonstrations and food tastings for a bite to munch on while you shop for wine as well as wine tastings of course. And for the non fancy schmancy wine drinker/ tailgater, etc. they have boxed wine for every occasion. Always a nice place to stop to grab some wine to bring home if you are shopping for groceries next door. Or also a nice place to stop if buying wine is your idea of grocery shopping.
