After years of shopping here, I am overdue in praising this lovely store. A focus on wine, but with all the other spirits a good bar needs. Friendly, knowledge staff who learn your likes, recommend new things that are similar and suggest wines that might stretch your tastebuds in new and delightful directions. They’ll also order your favorite wine from another country because they’re good people.

Very rude & pretentious.I walked in to buy cider beer… they abruptly cut me to say, “We don’t sell beer on tap.” I was pointing at the cans, that’s in the front on their store by the POS. They prejudged me, assuming that I didn’t know anything about wine, spirits, beers, & liquor.Where’s the customer service? I’m a repeated customer. Make some kindness for a neighbor.I love to support local businesses, but workers here are down right rude.This is an authentic review. Let others know what I experienced.

without a doubt my neighborhood wine go to. the team is super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, and during the highs and lows of the pandemic, visiting winey has been a bright spot, like going to see old friends. like the rest of brooklyn, I am all in on the orange wine train, and the selection here is A+. really they put other shops to shame! everything from the palest peach to rich ambers, a whole range from easy drinking to super funk, and ALWAYS rolling in new bottles so I can try something different. I've never gone wrong on any bottle, red, white, orange, or rose, either in pulling something quickly for myself or even better when relying on the winey crew to guide me towards something special. in fact go in with a general idea of what you want, lay it out to them, and let them bring something to you. you'll be so happy for the new adventure, and you'll definitely be coming back for more.

Such a great wine shop! Chris and Sal helped me out with several selections for my wedding weekend, and they did not disappoint. Winey Neighbor has an excellent range of wine-- from classics to more eclectic options-- to fit an array of tastes. Strong recommend!

The staff at Winey is super knowledgeable and provides great recommendations. I was a relative newbie to natural wines but because of some key Winey recs, I'm hooked on them now! I really love that they keep their emails and website up to date so I can easily browse from home. Definitely my go-to spot in BK!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I make it a priority to stop when I'm in town! I make a monthly trip to Crown Heights to visit my aunt and the first thing I do is stop here for a bottle of wine for her and snag something for me when I visit friends in the area. I tend to ask a lot of questions and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to help. It's because of them that I got turned on to quality mezcal and one of the gentlemen working there went as far as to take the time and write down several cocktail recipes he recommended. I can't say enough good things about this place. If I have to say one critical thing it's that they don't have more locations, but honestly that's part of the charm. All in all, if you're looking for a good selection with a staff that is top tier then this is your place.

Happy to see so many positive reviews. I am willing to give this shop another try because the wines look great, but for me shopping locally is a lot about community and camaraderie and I was kinda put off by my first visit today (just moved to the neighborhood). Does Chris just have lousy people skills? He was not welcoming at all to me as a new customer, was cool and kind of unfriendly and gave me the feeling i was interrupting him even though i bought two bottles of wine. Isn't a certain level of basic human warmth part of the job in retail? Maybe part of the problem is the feng shui --they have it set up so whoever is working at the computer has their back to the door, a stressful configuration. Hoping the quality of the wine will make it all worthwhile!

Chris and Phil are great! They try all the wines and spirits that they sell. Must be why they’re always so chill. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating especially to novices like myself. They will even tell you what foods your choices are best paired with.

Seriously have never had a bad bottle from here, which I think is a testament to the thoughtfulness the team puts into selecting a great variety of wine, especially natural wines that I’ve been turning to more and more lately. During the restrictions on businesses during covid, I’ve also really appreciated the way they’ve approached their operations to keep customers safe and comfortable. I’d definitely call myself a regular, and no matter who is working that day, I know I can count on great service, awesome recommendations if needed, and an enjoyable chat and catch up if it isn’t too busy. Just can’t wait for things to open up again so the tastings are back!

Excellent Service! When a Gift was delivered a day early (which messed up a surprise), The Winey Neighbor was devastated and kindly sent a beautiful gift to our friend to make up for the mistake. They take customer service seriously and we would order from them again.
