Cork Wine & Spirits

LOVE THIS STORE! They always have the best new spirits– I discover a new favorite every time I stop by (lately, Vodka Mariette). Not to mention, most nights they are serving complimentary tastings… That’s not bad either ;)

Don’t forget — I posted this message a couple of months ago this is just a reminder the owner of that establishment is a crook don’t forget that he stole my credit card information and then later on at like he had no knowledge of it whatsoever so this is a friendly reminder don’t be fooled by the fake smile at the end of the day he still is who he is a crook

Not the biggest selection, but they definitely offer a lot of wine labels you wouldn’t otherwise find at the major discount stores like Bottle King, Stew Leonard’s, Buy Rite, Total Wine, etc. For that reason, and because of the reasonable prices, I’m going with 4 stars.
My one critique is that the space is pretty big and so spread out, you’d think they would add a few more rows just to expand their options.

I love this place! The owner is so friendly, so knowledgable, and remembers me every time I come in! Big brownie points! I have even moved farther downtown and still venture to cork to give them my business

Pleasant helpful staff. Good selection of more modestly priced wines. Fast delivery. No delivery minimum. What more could you want?

Slightly more expensive than Sparrow down the street but they have a pretty good/​unique selection and are open until 11 some nights!

I am REGULAR at the Cork Wine and Spirits in Harrison. I absolutely love it. It’s convenient. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And, the selection is great. I’ve never been to the Hoboken Cork, but opening a location in Harrison was a great idea, and I love it!

I was looking for a nice but budget-​friendly bottle of wine for a friend’s birthday. I stopped in here while walking up Washington and figured I’d take a look around. Quickly realizing my complete lack of knowledge would, understandably, but a bit prohibitive, I asked the nice gentleman at the front counter. He was quick to recommend a handful of different «budget friendly» options (no pressure to up my price range which was nice) and all looked to be a bit different in variety. I really liked the service and recommendations and will definitely be back.

This place makes me almost want to visit my friends in Hoboken more often.
After the rush to get out of the city to visit our girlfriend, a new Mom, I realized we didn’t bring any alcohol. (even if she isn’t pumping and dumping yet, the rest of us needed some wine in the apt of a 2 year old and 10 day old).
Not knowing Hoboken, especially uptown that well, I thought for sure we were out of luck. And then, CORK appeared in front of us.
The salespeople were very willing to help, even when we sort of brushed them off, another one came to try again. We gave him some vague requests, he gave us a recommendation (the Vertus — cab/​temp blend, would buy again!).
I would say we were off on our merry way but I have a thing for food and wine stores and I’ll wander for hours. Luckily my girls knew they had to surround me and shepherd me to the cashier.
Where I realized it was a $ 9.99 bottle? I mean really, I I can count on one hand the number of times a store salesperson recommended an under $ 10 bottle to me! And there was no disdain or upturning of the nose.
People who know their business, and understand what the 99% customer needs.

Great location and the staff is friendly, but they have very low stock and the shelves are always half empty. The selection isn’t very extensive and the prices are significantly higher that Sparrow only 2 blocks away.

Great place. Nice décor, helpfully staff, Good selections. Have been there many times. Sometimes for the basics, sometimes I needed help picking something special. Always someone there and available to help.

My fiancée and I have lived in Hoboken for 3 weeks, and have been to Cork twice. We live across the street from Cork, and absolutely love the selection. layout, and personnel.
Carlos (manager) was extremely helpful with our shopping. My fiancée wanted a certain type of wine, and Carlos directed us to ⁴⁄₅ wines he recommended (we bought all of them). He even opened a bottle, to allow us to try. If interested the wine was a blend called «Smashberry» —
.
Jay the owner was absurdly knowledge — stretching from the obvious wine, to which food would go well with which wine. Additionally he was extremely nice to my fiancée and I.
While my fiancée is likes wine, I favor beer. Cork has a great selection of beer and additionally they allow you to create your 6 pack. I came home with 6 types of beers — try the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.
All to often stores get negative reviews, I wanted to give «props» where it was needed — Cork.

Cork offers a solid selection of wines and spirits, and with some choices that don’t overlap those of other stores in town, it’s a useful addition.
Cork is a smaller store than the Sparrow uptown, so its offerings are in some cases more limited. The spirits section, for instance, is probably half the size of Sparrow’s, but having said that, they do have bottles you won’t find other places, so it’s worth a visit.
For cocktails, they do carry a good selection of bitters, EO grenadine & Bloody Mary mix, Luxardo cherries, and lot of other useful items. Probably worth a trip for those alone if you like to mix drinks.
Lots of beer and wine, and it’s well-​staffed with helpful folks. One thing they could use in the wine section is more of the ‘mini-​review’ cards from Robert Parker, WS, etc. People find those useful, and there are very few of those in store at the moment.

The people who work there are so friendly and helpful. Loved the wine they recommended and most bottles are affordable
with a unique selection that you can’t find anywhere else in town.

So happy to have a new liquor store uptown. They have a very good selection and are fairly priced. The staff is professional and friendly — very happy to help make recommendations and carry things for you to the counter.
They also have tastings regularly which is so nice to try out new things.

They have unique wines that we’ve only seen in while wine tasting in california and are very knowledgeable!

Great Knowledgeable Wine Guys!
