“Doordash messed up. But the owner was kind enough to make up for it, without me having to even ask.
Don't see people/businesses do this these days.”
“Stopped into Newton Wine & Spirits for the first time and we’ll definitely be back! The gentleman working—Mr. Hunter—was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He even recommended a great local spot for us to check out, which meant a lot since we just moved to the area. Can’t wait to explore it… and hopefully cross paths with him again!”
“This is the place for any adult beverage person in the Southern Saratoga County. Great variety, knowledgeable staff and if they don't have it, ask nice and they will get it for you. We have tried every option in the area and believe me this is your best option. No waiting for a gift card after you spend a bunch of money, the savings is in the everyday price. Try it! Compare your receipts.”
“Amazing liquor store! Great selection at great prices, with knowledgeable staff who give great recommendations.
I've tried new brands at their recommendation and have never been disappointed.”

“The owners of this store are incredibly accommodating. I asked and they made it happen. I was driving to Latham to get my liquor of choice, and the owners said we will have it next week for you. And they did, and at a better price. They are really friendly, always have nice music playing, and also have a loyalty program which is awesome.”

“Spirits of Troy is an absolute gem! The staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and always prompt in assisting with any questions or recommendations. The store itself is spotless, with a clean and well-organized layout that makes browsing a breeze. The open floor plan, along with clearly labeled sections, makes it so easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Their selection is impressive, with plenty of options to choose from, all at reasonable prices. The coolers are perfectly chilled, and the glass is always smudge-free, which really adds to the overall experience. This is easily one of the best liquor stores around, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional service!”
“Excellent customer service. I like the reward system for cashback or points for my next purchase. I just need to give my phone number and is that simple. Great guys, great staff, great place.”
“We picked up one of their Friday night dinner specials. We got sauerbraten, sauerkraut, spatzle and an apple tart for $20. It was served in a 3 compartment tray. We got ours to go, but people were in clubhouse eating there from the same trays.
We were also served a cucumber salad? Sliced cucumbers in soir cream sauce? The wife loved it, but, alas I hate cucumbers.
Food was delicious.
The bar was hopping!
The age seemed to be Cucumbers. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.”
“The best liquor store in the Capital District.The outside looks shabby ( it's going to be updated soon) but the inside is great. Stop in and say hello to Thapa behind the counter. Tell him Mike sent you. Great selection. Excellent prices. Look for the flashing arrow on Central Ave. near Osborn.”
“A small town liquor store, but with big and bold flavor and brands... From the normal brands to the super high ends... a plethora of Bourbons, Scotches and Whiskey... Same for Tequilas, Vodka, Gins... with ease a 1/4 of the store is for Wine...All the new flavors for the Borbons and Whiskies... the flavored Tequilas that are hiting it big now... They had before the trend started... Visit them... Even if your not from Wynatskill, still visit them... Pricing is right in line with the bigger places... Love going there... and I will be back soon enough... The staff is great... love them...”
“Doesn't look like much on the outside but it is full of a huge selection of beer, largely local. Only downside in my mind is that you have to buy in 4/6 packs with very few singles for sale. But absolutely worth stopping to grab some really good beer. Also has a smoke/convenience shop inside.”
“The prices totally compare to the big stores, like Exit 9. Great selection, friendly service,& so convenient. I’ve been stopping in since they opened,& it’s a great addition to the area.”
“First impressions matter!
I had an outstanding experience from the moment I walked in the door! The store was clean, and well stocked. The owner and his staff were friendly, helpful and engaging beyond expectation! I will be back. I tend not write many reviews- this was a well deserved pleasure to give! Cheers!”
“This wine and liquor store is the best. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that go out of their way every time you walk in the door. The prices are fantastic and they have a solid bourbon selection. There is even a rewards program which is like a reward for drinking booze! Haha! Zach and James are truly kind men and it's also a pleasure stopping by!”
“My favorite of all liquor stores in this area. Best prices, excellent customer service, as just about everyone working there is warm and friendly. Thank you guys!! Keep up the good work!”
“I stopped into Suzanna’s shop on my way up north and was welcomed with great customer service. We had a quick chat, found that we had similar tastes and she made some excellent recommendations on wine and bourbon that I ended up purchasing. Suzanna is someone you want to chill and have a drink with, I plan to circle back on my way back to the city! Great find!”
“What a lovely store! ✨
The guy working here was so nice and friendly; we had a lovely conversation while I picked up some vodka.
He also gave me some good recommendations for places to go in albany.
Thank you so much! 😊”
