Cool

I buy most of mine at Kindred Spirits. If you are buying a large amount, they give you 10% off. I find the prices very competitve.

That ABC was 30% higher than Kindred Spirits on the wine I usually buy. I don't know about the hard stuff.

I guess it is. I was refering to Inglenook Chardonnay. Kindred spirits sells it everyday for 5.99 and they had it same as Publix at 7.99. Some of these stores will have a particular bottle at below cost to give you the impression that they are low priced. They make up for it on the other bottles you buy.

Sometimes Publix has "two for the price of one" wine ... some real bargains there.

It is a bit of a trek but if you are heading to Orlando anyway go to Total Wines. Don't let the name fool you they have both liquor and wines. It is a mega store with thousands products and very helpful staff. Best prices an d selection anywhere. They have two stores one on E Colonial and the other is across from the Millenia Mall near Home Depot.

Absolutely agree to check out Total Wines. That place is incredible and their prices are very good. An identical item was several dollars less than we had paid at Sam's Club liquor store, and they've got Kindred and ABC beaten hands down ... at least for the items we price checked.

Best price for Sutter Home Wines is at my house. I always give away the Sutter Home (and similar) I get as gifts. Just not into White Zin, Burgundy, Chablis, Mad Dog, boxed wine, jug wine, Boone's Farm, etc.

The Publix BOGO deals are usually on $12 to $16 wines and those are more to my liking.

I didn't find Sam's Club to be competitive ( I hope I spelled that right). It is cheaper to buy liquor in Orlando, but who wants to drive that far to save a couple $'s?

I buy most of my wine from wine.com. They are located in Hialeah and it arrives by UPS the next day. If you join there wine stewardship club, $46 a year you get free shipping. Buy more then one case a year, which I always do and it pays for itself.

Buy most liquor at Winechateau or Liquorama dot com. Even with the cost of shipping, prices are below Total Wine on most things.
