Speaking of wine...

I heard yesterday from reader Beverly, who asked me about the best case discounts for wine in our area. I told her that most grocery stores are offering 10 percent, or 15 percent on a sale sometimes. I also said I like to wait for the Whole Foods big sale (which is usually between Christmas and New Year's) and the Southern Season annual sale. I think that in some cases the discounts go higher during those sales. But I thought I'd throw the question out there for all of you, since I am certainly no expert. Where do you find the best case discounts on wine?

Wine Merchant always provides a good case discount. On Tuesdays - they do a 20% off deal. I have never had a bad wine from the Wine Merchant and the clerks are very knowledgeable. They will help you find a wine you want to drink as opposed to pushing what is on sale or what they have too much of.

(I'm not saying I had that experience at Total Wine 2 times ... I'm just making an observation.)

I'm stocking up on wine while I can still afford it. I tend to be drinking a bit more with this unpredictable economy.

I believe Whole Foods is doing a 20% case discount now through the 12th... I only glanced at a sign in the store the other day, so it may be going on later than the 12th. Otherwise, Total Wine has a 10% case discount and sometimes has specials for 10% off mixed cases or 10% off mixed 1/2 cases.
