Vine Box Wines, Brooklyn NY

Encountered racist experience from the owner. Seems like this is a common theme in the reviews.

My partner and I decided to grab some wine on our way home from visiting friends and the interaction we had with the cashier was strange. The cashier would only address my partner and only speak to my partner. I asked a few questions and the cashier wouldn’t answer those questions and instead ramble on about something else to my partner. I felt disrespected. It is important that I acknowledge that my partner is white and I am not. This interaction ruined my entire day. I would not recommend this place. Racism and discrimination should not be tolerated anywhere.

Asked for a sweet wine and got really sour one. Seams that all wine is sour in that place.

I love this little shop! The proprietors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wine they sell, and I've never been disappointed by wines they've suggested. There's a solid selection of natural, organic, and small-vineyard wines, as well as interesting bottles from lesser-known regions. Highly recommend this place.

Most knowlageable person in the wine business.robert is an angle sent from beyond knowledge

Absolutely my favorite wine store in Brooklyn. I always learn something new when I stop by, and it’s the perfect spot for interesting and rare varieties. To top it off, Robert is the kindest, most interesting guy— knows the most about wine out of anyone I’ve ever met, and is just as happy to chat about language and geography as he is about grapes. Always a pleasure to drop in.

They have a whole section of biodynamic wines and I do believe all of their wines are vegan! Knowledgeable and well curated
