Planning a Dinner Party? Here Are the Best Costco Wines

November 20, 2018 by Kathryn Vercillo

For many people, the best Costco wines are Kirkland Signature wines. Because it’s the Costco store brand, it’s also the wine that usually comes at the best price. Plus, a lot of this wine can be traced back to bigger brand names that have a good reputation for great taste. Here’s what you need to know about Kirkland Signature wines, as well as some other options worth considering for your next dinner party.


 

Best Costco Wines: Kirkland Signature

Costco wines are sold in two different bottle sizes: 750 ml and 1.5 liter. For example, they sell a Champagne Brut in a 1.5-liter bottle for less than $20. Most of their wines, however, come in the smaller bottle. Many of those can be purchased for less than $10 per bottle. Some of the options include:

• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Chardonnay (two different types)
• Cotes de Provence Rose
• Malbec
• Merlot
• Pinot Grigio
• Rioja
• Sauvignon Blanc

In other words, if you have a favorite basic type of wine, there is a good chance you can get the Costco brand of that same wine.

Other Wine Options at Costco

Of course, just because many people think that the best Costco wines are the Kirkland Signature wines doesn’t mean it’ll be your favorite. Luckily, Costco offers great deals on other wine, too. In fact, they are reportedly the largest wine retailer in the United States. They are also the nation’s biggest retailer of Dom Perignon champagne, and they purchase more Bordeaux than any other seller in the country.

Moreover, Costco is known to only mark up their wine by 15% or less. Many stores add markup costs that are at least twice that percentage. Therefore, you can get some great brand name wine at prices that are significantly cheaper than the same wine if purchased at a competitor’s store.

Five of the best deals on name brand wine at Costco are:

• Brunello di Montalcino
• Coppola Sofia Rose
• Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio
• Rasha Claret Semi-Sweet Red Wine
• Washington Hills’ Apex Cabernet Sauvignon

A Blog for the Best Costco Wines

If you take your wine seriously, you might want to read more about each option at Costco. There is actually a Costco Wine Blog with tons of information about all of their wine, including detailed reviews. It isn’t affiliated with the Costco store. Instead, it is made for and by fans of the best Costco wines. Here are the five best 2018 Costco wines according to this source:

1. 2012 Hidalgo Tradicion H Rioja
2. 2015 Kirkland Signature Pauillac Bordeaux
3. 2010 Baron de Ley Gran Reserva Rioja
4. 2014 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape
5. 2012 Foncalieu Les Illustres Coteaux d’Enserune

Notably, these are all red wines. If you prefer white wine, their best recommendation is the 2015 Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Chardonnay Alexander Valley.

Choosing the Best Wine for You

When determining which are the best Costco wines for your home, think about several factors. Price is important, but it’s not the only consideration. With a luxury item like wine, you also have to consider personal taste. Therefore, you should review the options at your own Costco store. Then you should compare the prices to other stores in your area. You will likely find that the price on your favorite wine is lower at Costco if you can find it there.

Oh, and by the way, you don’t even have to have a store membership to purchase the best Costco wines in many states. Check your state to see if they allow alcohol sales without a Costco membership.
