The Background – Novices and seasoned oenophiles alike will find much to rejoice about at this popular Manhattan wine vendor. Unlike so many pretentious boutiques, where mispronouncing a French label is a cardinal offense, Astor employs some of the most approachable staff around. The clearly labeled sections, wide aisles, and astonishing selection tempt customers to linger, checking out staff picks or sampling exotic vintages at one of the tasting nights. – – The Appeal – Whether stopping in for an old standby or scavenging for a unique bottle from regions unknown,…

Worst Customer Service -

I signed up for a class but could not make it because of a snowstorm (all returning flights that day were cancelled). I called to see if I could reschedule to another class and before I could even finish 'Kimberly' cut me off and told me no changes within 48 hours and then hung up!
Will never buy from them again.

Worst customer service - Do not buy online
by kostasg at Citysearch
I bought a box of wine along with several other wines in May and opened it in June. The wine was oxidized although I had kept in a cool air conditioned place.
I brought the wine to their shop and they refused to exchange it. I asked them why as the return policy allows for store credit and they answered "because we never exchange wine-only hard liquor"!!
- Pros: Wide selection
- Cons: Poor customer service, Terrible online return policy
