How and Where to Buy Wine Master sommelier Andrea Immer, the host of Fine Living's Simply Wine with Andrea Immer, offers some advice to help simplify the wine selection process and guide buyers to great tasting, inexpensive bottles of wine:
- Shop grocery stores for convenience
Don't be shy about buying wine in the supermarket; they often have very good selections and prices.
- Try wine shops for extra help
If you're looking for a wine section that's easy to navigate or if you need some advice, try a specialty wine shop with a knowledgeable and helpful staff.
- Go online for bargains
Wine websites offer incredible selection and very good prices, as well as articles to further your understanding of wine. Currently wine may not be shipped to the following states:
Ala., Ark., Ariz., Fla., Kan., Mass., Md., Mo., N.J., N.Y., Ohio, Penn. and Utah. Wine is shipped to Alaska and Hawaii by air only.
- Choose from the Big Six
The six grapes that are grown in most parts of the world are Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. They often yield wonderful tasting wines that sell for under $20. Try these Big Six suggestions.
