Best deal/coupon for on-line wine shopping

I usually end up looking at the final price vs. wine-searcher price. Sometimes there are sometimes better deals to be had when you go above the coupon amount, depending on wine.com’s relative markup.

Same here–if you are below CT community average, you are usually doing much better than W-S. I have too much wine to want to buy a bunch of bottles just to get the best deal. Would rather get a hard-to-find bottle at a below-retail price. For example, 2014 Clos Ste Hune at $189+tax with a $50 off $150 is pretty good: https://www.wine.com/product/trimbach-clos-ste-hune-2014/622856

Rodrigo, thank you for the referral link. What benefit would I get if I were to sign up using this link? Does it offer 10% like Vinfolio?

The referral link is a $10 credit off your first purchase. I believe there’s also an Amex deal for First Bottle out there, so it might also be worth checking that out as well if you’re looking to stack deals together

I just got a $100 off $300 in the mail from wine.com which is a new one for me. Unfortunately still seems like their inventory is crazy low. Any QPR winners others have discovered there?

wine.com inventory is dependent on which warehouse it ships out of, which is based on the state it ships to. If you tell us the state you are shipping to, people can suggest good QPR wines based on that.

Can ship to VA, FL or anywhere there’s a Domaine Storage, theoretically.

I’m in the same boat as you Justin. I’m in VA and use Domaine DC. But I have shipped to the Napa warehouse for a few special items. Sadly, VA, DC, FL are all the same warehouse. Then theres NJ which seems to ship pretty much just to NJ (sadly domaine NY is actually in NJ). NY ships most of the Northeast from PA up through Mass I believe. CA ships a ton of places but I am pretty sure they cover the other 3 domaine locations.

For VA, the Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle 24 is good at 150 before coupons. You could buy two of them+some $7 bottle of white wine to get over the 300.

Also the Billecart Salmon brut rose at 80 before coupons. I did an order of 2 of those, and stacked the amex 30 off 100 offer.

New Hampshire has been served by the Florida warehouse for many months now, I guess due to the NY issues. I suspect some other NE states might be in the same boat at the moment. It sucks because it narrows the shipping window when compared to NY, plus the Florida warehouse is poorly stocked.

1 x LPGC and 2x Billecart Rose’s seems like a winner

W-S lows are $135 and $65 respectively, so that’s $265 at best … will be $209 after $100 off coupon. I always like buying sparklers when I’m just buying wine to take advantage of a coupon. I know I’ll drink them not just eventually, but probably pretty soon.

Good choices! Love B-S rose! [Edited to remove suggestion of Krug, since it ends in .97 and is therefore ineligible for coupons]

With these get over the hump purchases I try to pick something up in the ~$20 range on sale that I’d actually drink rather than throw away the $7. I added a Haut-Brisson at $28 (WS low $26) to the LPGC24 with the 50/150 coupon.

All I’ve got left are 50/200s which can actually get a decent deal with the RMN 10% if I can find wines at good prices to begin with (like that LPGC24). Might pull the trigger on another.

They have Bedrock Bedrock Vineyard and Evangelho right now for shipping to Virginia. With a nice coupon could be compelling.

Thats a fair point, if you can find one that has a good price on its own like Haut Brisson. However from another side, you’re paying basically full price on that one. Whereas you could order 2x haut Brisson on a 20off50 instead.

For me though, I keep cheaper whites around for friends and family and holidays. There are some surprisingly almost drinkable ones for 7-8 bucks there.

Vivino just posted a winery library release of 2006 Musar Rouge for $49.99 with free shipping on 4 or more. I want to buy 2 cases, but alas, I am behaving.

Since the TX warehouse has tumbleweeds rolling through it, my strategy lately has been staples at a better price. Roederer for $49 and Bollinger for $59 are already significantly better than local sellers ($80 for Bollinger??? [swearing.gif]) and they go together 2:1 for $159. Even when I can’t price it to perfection, this is worth it combined with $50 off $150.

Exciting! Can you provide the link? I couldn’t find this.

Does this link work?

If not, just search for “musar rouge” and it should pop up.

There is a $30 off if you spend $100+ at Zachys using the coupon code ZWINTER30. Additionally, there is an Amex offer for $30 back if you spend $150+ at Zachys.
