Wine.Woot.com

A friend told me about a great site to find deals on wine and I thought I would share it with all of you. Wine.woot.com is a website that offers different wines each day of the week at tremendous savings to you! Each weekday, a new deal on wine or wine related products is posted on the website. However, those deals are only available for that day while supplies last. Each deal is a one-time-only price so you check the site often so you don’t miss out on anything.

The site itself is wonderful. Each wine deal has detailed information about the wine and winery so there are no surprises. “A variety of premium, ultra-premium, and mega-super-premium wines from known wineries” are offered on the site. Wine.woot.com is not a club and does not require membership. There are no purchase minimums. Just check back each day and only buy the deals that look good to you!
