9 Tips To Save Money On Wine

因此，您想让一杯葡萄酒与周中的餐点一起享用，但您不想拿第二次抵押贷款。

或者，您正在为朋友举行休闲周末晚宴，您不一定想用饮料赚钱。

这里有九个技巧，可以节省几美元到购买葡萄酒的巨大美元。

1. Look for second labels.

Some top wineries bottle lower-priced wines under another label. These wines tend to be quite superb but for one reason or another did not make the cut in the winery’s final top blends. Often, the wines are priced at half of what a winery’s best wines go for without an appreciable drop in quality.

也许最著名的第二个标签是Mouton Cadet，这是大型城堡Mouton Rothschild的品牌，该品牌是法国波尔多地区的首批增长之一。虽然一瓶Mouton Rothschild的售价超过250美元，但Mouton Cadet的价格约为10美元。

To find second labels, ask your local wine merchant for some suggestions.

2. Buy by the case.

当您找到真正喜欢的葡萄酒时，请按照案例购买。购买多个瓶子时，几乎所有酿酒厂和许多零售商都可以提供5％至15％的折扣。即使您购买了12种不同的葡萄酒，有些人也会为您提供相同的折扣。

3.在折扣商店购买。

Large retailers such as Costco, Trader Joe’s, Sam’s Club and Grocery Outlet are able to use their buying power to purchase wine at lower prices and pass those savings along to their customers. It is not unusual to find discounts of 20% or more at such stores.

4.购买南半球葡萄酒。

南半球的许多国家都以优质的价格生产出高质量的葡萄酒。寻找来自澳大利亚（Shiraz），新西兰（长相思），阿根廷（Malbec）和智利（Merlot）的葡萄酒。从这些国家 /地区以10至15美元的价格找到富裕，美味的葡萄酒的例子并不难。

5. Buy oversize bottles.

Magnums are 1.5 liters, or twice the normal bottle size. Some large wineries bottle wines in these oversize bottles at considerable discounts over what you might pay if you purchased two normal sized bottles.

澳大利亚受欢迎的酿酒厂黄色的尾巴以10美元左右的价格出售其设施巨头，相当于每750毫升瓶5美元。华盛顿州大型酿酒厂哥伦比亚克雷斯特（Columbia Crest）在大酒杯中大部分瓶装葡萄酒中的大多数。

6.考虑盒子葡萄酒。

由于来自加利福尼亚州的底部货架品牌，例如Franzia和Carlo Rossi，盒子葡萄酒（也称为Bag-a-abox葡萄酒）的声誉低下。

However, many reputable wineries are packaging wines in boxes now, and you save because a bag and a box are less expensive than a bottle and a cork. Plus, box wines are almost always packaged in larger amounts, such as 3 to 5 liters.

加利福尼亚州生产商Bandit在Tetra Paks中包装葡萄酒，类似于您孩子的果汁盒。例如，Bandit的1升Pinot Grigio的价格不到$ 8。要寻找的其他顶部盒子品牌是Bota Box（Shiraz的3升$ 20），黑匣子（3升Merlot，价格为25美元）和来自Target的Wine Cube（3升Merlot，以15美元的价格）。

袋装盒葡萄酒的一个不错的方面是，葡萄酒开始倒入后，葡萄酒会留在真空中，它可以在厨房柜台上持续几周而不会变质。

7.加入葡萄酒俱乐部。

If you like a winery, consider joining its wine club. Most wineries have wine clubs because they enjoy selling their wines directly to consumers – they make more money this way by not having to share profits with distributors and retailers.

葡萄酒俱乐部的好处很多。一个是您通常可以在酿酒厂购买任何葡萄酒以折扣 - 有时多达20％。当您访问酒庄时，通常会免除您可能会产生的任何品尝费。

8. Work for wine.

You have to live near a winery for this tip, but if you offer to work – especially during harvest – you could get paid in wine. Working at a winery during harvest is fun, and you get to know the staff.

9.检查广告是否结束了复古销售。

Groceries typically will discount wines when the winery is ready to sell the next vintage. You’ll often find these wines on the ends of aisles in the wine, meat or seafood departments. Discounts can run from 10 to 30%.
