#Champagne flowing ‘like water’ as New Yorkers celebrate Biden win

#Champagne flowing ‘like water’ as New Yorkers celebrate Biden win

Champagne flowed “like water” in the Big Apple on Saturday as New Yorkers made a run on bubbly during intoxicating celebrations of Joe Biden’s victory over President Trump.

Wine and liquor stores across the city told The Post they were drowning in sales — with some reporting a drought of cheap fizzy stuff.

“It’s busier than New Year’s Eve,” said a worker at St. Marks Wine and Liquor in Lower Manhattan.

The booze seller saw sales of vodka and bubbly spike, and was sold out of everything but “real Champagne” by around 7 p.m.

At Warehouse Wine & Spirits nearby, a staffer reported customers loading up on “anything sparkling… just to pop and say ‘he’s gone!”

“We can’t keep it cold enough,” she said.

It seemed to be a continuation of the jubilant street parties that erupted in the city earlier in the day — where even filmmaker Spike Lee came out and popped a bottle of champagne on a Brooklyn street.

On the Upper West Side, 79th Street Wine and Spirits was out of all bubbly under $50 by around 7 p.m., with a staffer saying he had “no cheap stuff left at all.”

“It’s going like water,” he said.

A couple of blocks away at Corks on Columbus “Veuve Clicquot was king,” reported a worker named Remy, adding that “more people are keen on spending money today,” grabbing about three bottles on average.

The wine store had stocked up, expecting a run on fizzy stuff to happen on Election Day instead, Remy added.

There was also a run on Veuve Clicquot at BQE Discount Wine and Liquors in Williamsburg, plus prosecco, said a staffer there named Chris, adding they’d sold off a couple of cases of bubbly, with some customers ordering about four bottles on average for delivery.

“Every liquor store is running low,” he said.
