Christie’s is poised to open a boutique wine shop in Rockefeller Center, a surprise move that got an assist from state lawmakers — and which could pave the way for a comeback in high-end booze for the auctioneer, The Post has learned. The posh auction house aims to open the shop later this year inside of a 500-square-foot space carved out of its headquarters on West 49th Street. The storefront’s entry at 20 Rockefeller Plaza is flanked by display windows advertising auctions of blue-chip artworks from the likes of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
