You walk out of Royal feeling like a sommelier, knowledgeable and confident that you bought the right stuff. The selection is amazing and the staff’s passion is wine. Conveniently nestled in the heart of fidi, Its perfect to run to after work. Truly the best!

A neighborhood GEM ?. I have had nothing but the best experiences working with Royal Wine Merchants. They have a great selection of wines sourced from all over the world. The staff is extremely passionate and enthusiastic. They are very helpful when it comes to making a selection or a suggestion (which are always amazing). I highly suggest working with them.

This is the cutest and my favorite wine shop in Manhattan. They’ve done an excellent job of utilizing the space to elegantly display a massive selection of wine options. It would be overwhelming if not for Nora who is always helpful and knows the perfect wine for any occasion.If you’re hosting a party or need a lot of wine their 3 for $30 rack is one of the best deals there is - but the wine is actually good and not just bottom barrel stuff.They also very often have a wine they’ll let you taste to make to help decide what you’re going for and at a minimum allow you to tell them what you like/dislike. While small, this is a nice perk that most shops don’t offer.The prices are affordable and the ambience of the shop will charm you. If you’re in need of a wine/liquor store in FiDi look no further!

The younger lady that works there is super welcoming. She let me try a bunch of samples from all over. I didn’t buy anything I loved the store and workers

I moved to Wall Street 2 months ago and went to every liquor store in the neighborhood for wine for cooking, Marsala and dry white….this was by far the best feeling store in the neighborhood. Being a bartender I looked at their booze just out of curiosity and was pleased with their selection and price point. The staff is 100% what sets them apart from any other store in the neighborhood.

Royal Wine Merchants is THE perfect example of a neighborhood business making life better for its neighbors. Not only are they a lovely bunch if people with a beautifully curated store, they are also wildly generous and supportive of community needs. They consistently and generously donate to the local public school. We are so grateful to be patrons of theirs.And my sons says…..”I think they should change the name to ‘Best Wine Store Ever’. The Candy they have hidden for the kiddos is certainly a treat.And My dog agrees - best treats. Best friends.

Go to this tiny, off the beaten path wine shop!! Huge selection of wine and you can find some great sales... Example in photo... 3 bottles for $30!! No where else in the FiDi have I seen a sale or price like that! Not to mention the staff is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Great selection and great prices! My wife and I enjoy picking up a bottle or two from here. They also usually have a great 3 for $30 selection that rotates.

So thrilled to have found this little gem. The people who work there are charming and helpful, lots of really interesting European wines to choose from at a good price, and you really can't beat the 3 for $30 deal. If I were a local, I'd definitely join their wine rewards club. Apparently they have free tastings for members. Thank you!

I love this shop, which has the feel of an old-time shoppe. Jeff, Nora and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and I have always been pleased with the bottles they suggest. You can't go wrong.

Found this store online while searching for a hard to find liquor. The service and responsiveness was excellent. They let me know when the items would be shipped, provided details and assisted with all questions I had. All items were well protected during shipping and prices were very reasonable Overall a very positive experience and I look forward to doing business with them again for items that I simply can't get in my area.
