Red, White & Green Wine & Spirits

Pretty sure the owners consider me a regular at this point.
You’ll find me barging into this wine store screaming things like «what goes the best with this burrito I just bought?» or «I honestly just need the cheapest pinot noir you have» and all of the workers have never judged me. Or at least not straight to my face. The employees keep it casual and offer some great advice without making you feel bad for grabbing the $ 9 bottle of wine instead of the $ 39 one right next to it. There are also some really neat little notes and descriptions on a lot of the bottles – the workers definitely know a lot more about wine than I do (and perhaps ever will).
I guess my only qualm is that the prices aren’t the best. Granted, the store is located in prime Williamsburg, so I’m not too bitter about that. Solid 4.5 wine store in my books!
pro tip: they sell sake and soju here as well! The sake is a great deal – $ 3.99 for a bottle of ozeki dry. Grab a couple of those, swing by Harvest Market for giant cans of beer, and you got yourself a good night.

Great selection, reasonably priced, and knowledgeable staff.

This place is great and the staff so knowledgable. They have a vast selection of wines that are reasonably priced. I loved the vino verde.

Gabriel and everyone else here is helpful. I didn’t know shit about wine and still don’t, no fault of Gab. But he tries and i picked up somethings. My go to place for wine. They also have these helpful notes on the bottles.

I’ve been coming to Red, White, and Green since they opened, since I live right in the area. The staff is very personable, knowledgeable about wine, and always helpful. The new notes they’ve added to the bottles of wine letting customers know what kind of food that wine pairs with, as well as others giving a brief summary of the wine itself, are great ideas! It’s extremely helpful when just browsing.

Horrible selection of wines and severely undereducated staff. Think twice before frequenting this merchant

This is by far the best wine shop in the neighborhood. They have a great selection and knowledgable staff. I’ve never had a bad recommendation from them based on whatever criteria I give them… I need a wine to stay home and clean my room or I need a wine to take to my boss’s dinner party etc. They also seem to have a good rotating group of reps that come through bc ive tasted quite a few great wines and whiskeys in there! Always a plus for me …
The staff is friendly and personable sometimes I pop in with my pup just to cruise around and take a look.
Thumbs up RWG!

I have to disagree with the positive reviews here. Been many times as I live locally and each time regret the wine they recommend enough to take it back if I had the energy. I don’t profess to know that much about wine, but I do know what’s good and what isn’t. I would expect the owners would know at least that.

Probably the best wine shop I’ve been to in Williamsburg. Extremely friendly staff, a huge selection of wines, and a very impressive selection of less-​than-​$ 20 wines. What can I say? I’m a wino on a budget.
The employees were more than happy to come out from behind the counter to walk with us and help us pick bottles that would be suitable for our evening. It was a much-​appreciated touch of individual care that is lacking in most similar stores, particularly when the customers in question are on such a low budget.
Keep it up, Red White & Green! I’ll be back!

This place is arguably the best wine shop in the vicinity of the Bedford Avenue L stop.
Their clean shop and geographic layout (Italian reds, American whites, Spanish reds, etc.) trumps other shops’ preference for shabby chic and varietal organization.
I like that I can scan a cultivated Napa Valley section and find Banshee instead of browsing a few shelves of «Pinot Noir» to attempt to locate something I might like from a region I’ve heard of before.

Picked up two bottles here for our hosts and received decent, if indifferent service here. They have a good selection and served well for a quick stop in the neighborhood.

My other wine/​liquor store is UVA but as of late I am a bigger fan of RWG because of a few reasons:
They are helpful (unlike other reviewers I believe the staff are incredibly helpful) and the owners are usually there and very helpful.
They almost always have tastings — I personally love to buy wine after I have tasted it and they have great wines available to taste often. I generally buy at least one of the wines I have tasted. (Unlike UVA where only the staff seems to be drinking all the time and don’ offer you a taste)
RWG has a better selection of wines in a lower price range! and more chilled wines/​champagne if you need something cold right away.
They have a lot of organic wines! and sulfite free wines.
They have an AMAZING selection of hard liquor. They like to buy from artisinal makers and I we have enjoyed several of Ron’s suggestions.
That’s about it… I think RWG has done a great job and I will continue to support them.

Great selection of wine, nice set up. It gets two stars because the staff was less than helpful. No smiles no greeting, no offer of help. I had my ATM card tossed back at me. Spend your money somewhere else.

I suppose it is inevitable that RWB will be compared to Pier Wines as they are only a block and a half away from each other. I wish I could combine the two stores. RWB has a better overall selection and better wines in the lower and mid range tiers. Pier Wines on the other hand has more interesting bottles from interesting regions (of both wine and liquor), a better high end selection, and does a better job of creating excitement about shopping for wine.
That said, I am a fan of RWG and I am in here a couple times a week.

Nice an large selection and a nice staff.

This is a great wine store. Very upscale, with staff that know their wines! They are also dog friendly so you can bring Fido mid walk.

RWG has an excellent variety of wines ranging in all prices. They are friendly to both humans and dogs and very helpful. A great store for all of your drinking needs!
