Crown Street has gotten a bit of a makeover since I left New Haven and next door to the fantastical Cask Republic is The Wine Thief, the city’s premier wine shop, which used to be over on Whitney.
The staff are very friendly and helpful here. On several occassions they've helped me to select sparkling wines, gins, tequilas and gifts for friends. Their recommendations have been uniformly excellent. The best liquor store in New Haven, and with fair prices.

Very nicely curated shop with a good selection of wine, beer, and spirits. Knowledgeable and friendly staff always willing to offer advice and recommendations. The prices are on par with larger shops.

They are very welcoming, make great suggestions. And because job also includes having to purchase items their sister store is awesome for assisting with choosing times as well.

Stopped in while visiting New Haven because I needed a cheap corkscrew for a bottle I already had. They didn't have anything cheap ($2), but the clerk was kind enough to give me a free one from a vendor.
Prices are reasonable for a city, and their specialty beer selection is great.

Tried to order online from abroad for local delivery, despite many attempts their website failed to process...
Unfortunately no concern no real support no serious solution.
Shop told me to write an email...and web team to call the shop!

A carefully curated selection of quality wine from around the world, beautifully displayed and organized by region. The salesperson was attentive to each person who walked in the store and took the time to answer questions. Prices are a few bucks higher than average.
