This huge wine shop recently relocated from (duh) Astor Place, where it had been housed since 1943, to Lafayette Street. They stock all types of wine for every wallet–from the cheap bottle you pregame with, to the nicer, impress-your guests stuff. They also have a lovely selection for more particular tastes, like sake and organic wines. The knowledgable staff and wine reference bookshelf can also help inform your purchases. Astor Place Wines & Spirits is filed under Shops: Wine&Liquor.
