Five Flights Wines and Spirits imports fine Italian wines, vermouths, liqueurs, and distilled spirits uniquely expressive of history and place. All wines are made from organically farmed indigenous grapes and spirits are created using highest quality, mindfully sourced ingredients. Our producers craft these bottles with the utmost care and consideration for both regional traditions and the environment.

UPDATE: As of February 2025, our wines and spirits are currently available in New York as part of the Oliver McCrum Wines and Spirits portfolio. For more information, please email karen@omwines.com or visit @olivermccrumwinesandspirits.

Karen Ruocco

President, Five Flights Wines and Spirits

I founded Five Flights Wines and Spirits with the intention of creating a compelling portfolio of small production Italian wines and artisanally-crafted spirits. My similarly-inspired customers showcase these ‘off-the-beaten-path’ bottles on their lists and shelves. Carefully made and beautifully expressive of time and place, these distinctive wines and spirits are featured in many of the most discerning resturants, bars, and bottle shops in all of New York.

Five Flights is a fond homage to the birthplace of my wine career: a fifth-floor prewar brownstone walk-up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
