Do You Buy Wine in Bulk?

I live in wine country, so I usually go to wineries to purchase my wine. Usually I end up purchasing a few bottles wherever I go. Occasionally there will be case discounts that I can't pass up. A few months ago I was at a winery and the winemaker was clearing out his inventory. I ended up getting a case of 11 year old cab for less than $20. For the case! And it was goooooooooood.

if a store gives me a 20% discount you bet I buy in bulk!

If it's cheaper, yes. My boyfriend and I have a kind of running joke about what people chose to buy in bulk, what it says about you. We like to peek in carts at Costco and try to analyze people based on what they decide they need 20 pounds of.

I don't buy in bulk - just one bottle at a time.

i've always bought just single bottles but it's ironic that you post about this since i'm going to be buying in bulk to ship to my wedding site since they are charging an arm and a leg per bottle. i didn't see any bottles (aside from 2) that were under $50 when i was at the location, and that's just too much for me to pay for my wedding....i'll be visiting wineries though to pick up at an even deeper discount.

I buy single kinds (not really mutiple bottles of the same thing) but I usually end up getting a couple of different bottles when when I originally only wanted one. I always keep seeing others that sound interesting.

If I am having a party yes. When I go to a wine shop, I usually pick up a couple of bottles.

definitely did when I had a car! I'm a pedestrian in NYC now, its bottle by bottle :) usually places offer a discount if you purchase a case. and in college when I'd make sangria with my sorority sisters, we'd definitely go for the case of 2 buck chuck :D
