FreshDirect Wines & Spirits

I just went to place an order in fresh direct with a coupon code that said summer five and then it says that I had a business address then it said that it wouldn't deliver to my ZIP Code. It would only deliver wine to Montauk or Hamptons,with the coupon
so screw you fresh direct you lost my business making the coupon available to only a few residences is unethical.

Sort of a weird place totally abusing the covid situation: they would not let you in, you stand at the entrance having to imagine what you are looking to get. Maybe it allows them to dump all the unpopular stuff. Arrogance of the people working there ads to the overall flavor.

Gotta start by saying this spot is extremely convenient- thats why we keep going back. Selection- OK. Price- slight mark up. Staff- RUDE.

The people that work this shop act like they're annoyed you're there. What's up with that?

We got 2 bottles from here and they charged me $93. Usually one bottle is less than $20. They didnt tell us the price when they charged me and they refused to refund us when we want to return them. never going back here

This is a very good, compact wine and spirits shop. The selection isn't enormous but definitely well-edited and you can get some good things here. I've always found the staff friendly and helpful, steering me toward what I want without any pressure to spend more. Bonus: If you live in the neighborhood they often send out coupons (like $20 off a $70 purchase) which are very good deals.

Popped in on my way to a restaurant a few blocks away. The guys in this store were super friendly. They knew this restaurant's menu and paired a perfect recommendation for the dish I was planning to get. This was an awesome gesture and it showed me that these guys know their neighborhood and local businesses.

Sorry folks - I'm all for supporting small businesses, but just not on the Yelp fan wagon on this one.

Adam is pompous, ALWAYS tries to upsell and his wine selection is really boring, typical stuff. He's still got 2007 roses for retail price, for chrissakes, when he should be giving them away at this point.

He's so unpleasantly pushy and abrasive, and the punch card "discount" totally changes too. I've now gone out of my way to not buy wine here. Which sucks as I either make the trek to Slope Cellars or buy wine on the way home from work and haul it back.

Adam was incredibly rude to me and my two friends when we went in on July 4th to pick up a bottle of vino verde for our party that day. I think he looked at three young women, heard my request for verde, and made some snap judgments: that we didn't know anything about wine, and that we'd still buy from him if he basically spit in our faces. He yelled at me (literally - not an exaggeration) that he didn't carry "poison" in his shop and continued for about 45 seconds before I cut him off. Extremely unpleasant.

Also, the store doesn't carry any small bottles of hard liquor. We wanted a small flask of gin, and the only large bottle they had was $30. Go down 5th to the liquor store near 15th street, and avoid Adam and his prices.

I went in with two friends yesterday to get some booze for our Fourth of July BBQ. We needed vinho verde (spelling? probably wrong) for a cocktail we were making, so we asked Adam if he had any. His response (basically yelled at us):

"I DO NOT SELL THIS POISON IN MY STORE."

Oh! Well, that's interesting. So Adam, do you have any other not-so-sweet sparkling wine? He told us no, he had a cheap bottle of Prosecco that might work for us (implication being we were cheap) for $14. Okay, maybe I am cheap but I think I'm just used to the massive selection of sparkling white wines under $7 at Trader Joe's, but sorry dawg I'm not going to buy a bad $14 bottle of Prosecco after you just yelled at me.

We then asked if he had any flask-sized bottles of gin because we only needed a little to add to this cocktail. He scoffed at us and pointed to a rather large bottle of Bombay Sapphire saying that it was the smallest.

We then walked out of the store and found another place up the street.

Don't give this guy business. Crazily rude.

Ha - was just about to write how rude this dude is when i saw it's already been covered!

I don't mind a wine-snob, I think I can be to an extent myself - but dude, you sell mediocre crap at high prices and then act like you're Gods git to liquor stores? Ok, maybe you're the only game in town in South Slop and that sucks for people living in the 20s - but I'm equidistance to you and Slope Cellars - and it's not even a comparison in service!!
