Buy in Bulk – If there is a wine that you really like, buy it in bulk to get a discount. Usually stores knock up to 15% off the price on purchase of six or 12 bottles. And if you find a truly good wine at a bargain price, stock up before others discover it and the price climbs.
Shop Around – The disparity in wine pricing for the same wine in different stores is quite amazing. Sometimes, these price differences can be explained by different sales tax. However, even within the same state or same city, you can find considerable price differences.
Shop Online – Online you often can find wines in many priced ranges. If you prefer high-end wines, there are several online retailers that offer selected fine wines at discounted prices for a limited time.
Wine Direct Sales – Since wine direct sales invest directly in winemakers and not in sales, marketing, fancy packaging and other things that you can not taste, buying from wine direct sales is your best option for getting the best deal for your preferable wine. With wine direct sales you will be able to find wines that aren't found in supermarkets or chain liquor stores. Wines with character, from all parts of the world putted in special packages that represent exceptional value for your money.
Shop During Holidays – From mid-November to mid-January, the local supermarkets and liquor stores have huge wine sales. Yes, wine goes on sale on this time of the year and with luck you may be able to find great wines with up to 30% off their original price.
Overall, the top tip for saving money on wine is to buy what you like. Buying a bad wine is like pouring money down the train if you are going not to enjoy it.
