It’s a good mix and some are serious deals. Server said this would continue and list would change.

If you check out the twitter page of Bottlenotes.. they sometimes give out codes which could be used to get discounts on your online purchase..

We are seeing some good deals here due both to a surplus of wine distributors and the economic crises though prices for imported wines still aren’t great because of the 48% import tax. But beggars can’t be choosers and one company has been doing some good 50% off sales and opens the bottles for a taste before you buy.

Cheers, Jim

Restaurants are discounting here either. Like Aldo Toledo said from Brazil you don’t know how lucky you are with your wine prices. Here everything is almost double, there is no 5$ bottle of wine and no way in hell there is a 2 buck chuck hah

I find they have a lot of markdowns, but a lot of their stuff is past its prime (or never good in the first place). Expired cru beaujolais from there has become my staple wine, though.

I’m definately going to keep my eyes open after reading this story.

Though, I have to admit that I get my wine at a wholesale discount of 20% – 28%, in general, due to the fact that my cousin is Jeff Welburn of Jeff Welburn Wine Selections, and Angeles Wine Imports – a deal I extend to my readers (and get no kick-backs from, whatsoever – just the pleasure of spreading the wealth).

So, if any of you like the wines of JWS, tag me, and I’ll hook you up.

Otherwise, if I want a deal on non-JWS wines, I read the leaflets like everyone else, and see what’s on sale near me.

Cheers,

~ Paula

And I’m talking both ends of the spectrum from the 1994 Mouton-Rothschild marked down to $299 (50% off) to a nice little Loire Valley Muscadet for $9.99 (marked down from eighteen bucks). In this climate, I’ll be looking a lot more at the sale bottles. I still want to drink good wine, but don’t see the need or logic in paying full price for that bottle of Silver Oak.

1) the last two recessions coincided with times of severe oversupply, in which growth in acreage had outstripped growth in demand for a number of years before the recession. That’s not the case this time. Historically, oversupply has driven discounts more than economic factors in the U.S. wine industry.

2) Consumer demand for wine is still growing, just not quite as fast as in 2005-2007.

I suspect there will be price-bombing on the part of individual wineries who were too dependent on restaurant distribution or tourists or wine clubs, but we won’t see wide-spread price decreases.

I think some of the Wineries out here in California are still in denial about their prices. I haven’t sold a bottle of Silver oak in two months.
