Federal Wine & Spirits
About
Federal Wine & Spirits is a downtown Boston wine and liquor shop that bills itself as Boston’s premier wine shop. Its cellar holds about 8,000 bottles of fine and rare wines from around the world, and the shelves also carry a full line of spirits, ales and beers for a range of tastes and budgets, including a deep selection of single malt Scotch. Recent featured bottles have ranged from New Zealand pinot noir to Bordeaux classics.
The shop’s whisky credentials stand out: Whisky Magazine voted it one of its Icons of Whisky, and it has twice been named Scotch Retailer of the Year for the United States. Wine experts on staff run a gift registry, building a customized list of wines or spirits so gift-givers can easily buy the right bottle. The shop also holds in-store tastings with producers and importers, and it has been featured on WCVB’s Chronicle.
