Empire Wine & Liquor

Good Lord... prepare yourself for something special! I saw the sign from the road and figured I'd stop in and grab a bottle of wine for my wife, but this place it like a wonderland for people seeking the impossible to get items. They had Pappy on the shelf - I mean, locked behind glass, but on a shelf. They had all kinds of mythical Bourbons, Scotches, everything... They also have anything else you could want in the line of less rarefied air.

Best selection of wine and liquor that I have seen in the area. And their website is very accurate with in-store location and inventory of all selections. Their prices are also available, accurate and it is easy to compare with other shops. I have not seen other shops beat their prices yet. On my last purchase of 6 bottles of wine I saved $31 compared to prices at a local shop.

The wine and liquor prices are fantastic as the holiday season approaches, we like to have something for everyone on hand at home! The store is extremely neat and clean. Staff was around to ask if help was needed and if we were finding everything okay. Also with a long line they worked through it really quickly.
Thank you all! Wonderful place, happy holidays!

Haven't been here in several years, so the expansion and reconfiguration was quite the surprise. They offer a wide selection of wines and liquors, helpful staff and very good pricing. The barcode labels often include any ratings the wine has received too to help guide decisions if you're unsure. Worth the stop if you're in the area

A bit of a drive for me, but worth it for the selection. The prices are good and they're the only place I've found "locally" that has any kind of sherry selection. Great for classic cocktail enthusiasts....

Freaking LOVE THIS PLACE, even more so since the expansion!! Selection is out of this world!! Staff is always very helpful! Frequently they have taste testing, prices are great, you can always find what you need, or find something new to try! It's like a candy store for GROWNUPS!!

Always courteous and willing to help when needed. Inventory is as good as can be expected during this economic time. Staff is knowledgeable or will find someone who is. Great shopping experience always. I do 99% of my wine and liquor shopping at Empire.

Recently ordered two cases of wine on a Friday, received the first case on Monday and the second on Tuesday. Excellent execution, accurate website and inventory tracking, and great selection of wines at unbeatable prices. Been shopping here via online since 2014. Highly recommend.

Always helpful. French wines are an all-time low do to overproduction but still the same great quality head out now and get yours while they last!!! They also have some great prices on Apple whiskey yes it's that time of year

I have never seen so much wine in one place and the liquor selection and prices is one of the best. On wonder this place is called empire!

I love this place…. They have a vast selection of adult beverages.

If you’re not a drinker, trust me they’ll have a beverage for you. From sweet to dry wines, to margaritas in a can and bourbon- they’ve got something you’ll enjoy.

I appreciate that they also have carts to shop, offer assistance to the car and have wine bags for purchase( if you have a lot of bottles).

You can preorder online as well.

Prices are fair at this location. My only dilemma is they should offer a rewards or point system.

Other than that I definitely recommend coming here for your adult libations.

Love it here. It's clean and organized. The staff is friendly and can let you know when they are getting a shipment in seconds if there are out. Prices are great too

Empire Wine & Liquor gets top marks for having a broad selection of wines and spirits, and pretty darn good service when required. The staff is friendly and helpful. They absolutely have the best prices in the capital area.

This store is like heaven for any liquor fan. Very large selection. The space itself is not large but they've managed to make it appear so with the clever utilization of space: rows and rows of liquor as far as the eye can see. It boasts a great variety including wines and spirits. Here you'll find a plethora of brands of beer, whiskey, rum, brandy, tequila, vodka, gin, and even a small selection of sake. The employees here are always readily available to assist you and not only are helpful but amicable as well. They have a good amount of cashiers that are fairly quick and efficient making your time spent waiting in line short. From my experience if you're buying with others they'll want to card everyone regardless of who is buying (that's if you don't appear to be 21 and over of course) but I learned that it's a safety measure and a way to enforce NY safety laws when it comes to alcohol consumption and minors. Either way this is a perfect place to come to for liquor - especially if you're looking for specific items.

First visit to this store. Huge selection of wines at good prices. Everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable, courteous and patient. Great customer experience.

I ordered 85 Freixenet Prosecco mini bottles as favors for a special event and they were delivered the next day!!! The bottles are beautiful and elegant. Excellent service and highly recommend Empire Wine & Liquor!!!

Huge selection great prices.
Helpful staff.

Great prices, helpful staff, amazing selection. Love this establishment.

Had a great selection and when I couldn't find the wine I was looking for he brought me right to it

Great stock of wine and liquor with the best pricing in the area. Helpful staff. More of a warehouse feel but Organized well.
