S & P Liquor & Wine Corporation

S&P LITERALLY saved my life. After one crazy night out in the east village a buddy and I decided to pick up an extra bottle of vodka at S&P. Without realizing I LEFT MY PASSPORT at the store! I didn’t even notice. Two days later my Mom got an email from an employee at S&P informing her that they had my passport! (Thank god I listed my mother as my emergency contact). When I arrived at the store to collect it, the guy behind the cashier told me he had just got his friend to run down to my apartment (my address was also written in the passport) and leave a note with the doorman! Can you believe this amazing honesty and customer service!!! They could easily have sold the passport, thrown it out or used it themselves, but they went to great lengths to return it to me. I will appreciate them forever. Not only that but they do have a great selection of liquor. A++++ WILL VISIT AGAIN!

A good spot for grabbing a bottle of wine for BYOB or a night with takeout. Selection of wine is pretty good with several regions and varietals represented. Prices are moderately high, but not as astronomically jacked up as other wine shops. You also won’t have staff hovering over you like others. You’re still better of buying from a larger store, but prices here at least beat those at a restaurant.

Very tiny but full selection of wine you need.
Very good price!
Staff is friendly!
I recommend the rosé from Provence Château La Gordonne which is delicious and totally affordable!

nice guys and open late which is a huge plus in my book!

Was going to a restaurant that was BYOB and this was close by and open. Definitely had a good selection of cheap to pricey alcohol. The wine (cheaping out) was $ 5 and over. For those prices, you can choose between white and red. They also had a selection of tiny alcohol bottles like the ones you find in mini bars. It’s small for a «corporation» but pretty good overall.

Correct me if I wrong but… every decent liquor store in East Village is 1. Overpriced and 2. Not gonna have that great selection, but you go there anyway because you’re too lazy to walk to a proper liquor store by NYU or in alphabet city.
So the real test of a liquor store here really comes down to how cool your liquor store dudes are and how fun the experience is. The dudes at S&P are cool, they have a neat shop and they’re cooler than the dudes at Atmi Liquor Store on 2^nd ave.
Works for me.

The Good
— deliver quickly
— deliver fairly late (11 ish)
— you can call in your card
— decent selection of wine + booze
— cold wine
The Bad
— some of the wine is shitty, but not cheap + shitty
— the store itself is really crowded
— if you call in with a price range, they tend to go a few dollars over
The Ugly
— this stretch of 5^th between 1^st and 2^nd is infested with rats

Pretty extensive wine selection. You can’t go wrong. The prices are also stellar. The space is crowded — but that’s because so many locals are coming by here to get their wine! This spot is perfect for the BYOB neighborhood.

Awesome collection, its the perfect spot to pick up a bottle of wine for the tons of BYOB Indian restaurants in the area. Also the Sultana hookah bar is BYOB.
They now also carry some Indian wines, best of which is YORK Reserve Cabernet.
The staff is also helpful, and they deliver if you live in the area!

If you happen to be in the Lower East Side for whatever reason, you can’t beat the convenience of S&P. They’re no larger than before, and still maintain a decent stock of wine and hard liquor. Every time I’m here, I receive efficient (and often friendly) service.
Obviously if you want to drink something obscure, there are bigger places in the neighborhood.
Speaking of convenience, did you know S&P offers free delivery? Yes, they will deliver booze to your front door. Free.

Hey! Not bad. Jammed in here after forgetting to pick up some two buck chuck from Trader Joe’s on the way home Tiny, but a packed and well organized wine shop. Found my favorite bottle of Beaujolais for $ 12 (cheaper than at Astor!) AND they have wine tasting at the front with cheese and crackers on the weekends. Sweet! Will definitely make this my local, go to stop when I’m not buying in bulk (because you know any girl in the city needs more than one bottle of Costco sized vodka)
