How to get the best prices on Wine

All you need to know to secure a bargain on the bottles that you love!

By Erin Tynan 2nd September 2023

When it comes to buying wine, it doesn’t always come cheap. Especially if you’re buying for a gift or special occasion where you’d like to impress.

That’s where we come in. At WinesDirect, we search the market for the best prices available on wine and Champagne (and beer, and spirits, and mixers… need we go on?). Then we present these prices to you in a clear and easy way, allowing you to grab the best deal available.

The ever-changing landscape of wine prices

With so many supermarkets and wine retailers out there, there’s just no way you could be expected to keep up with the ever-changing prices available to you on your favourite wines. Luckily for you, we’ve got the technology and the manpower to do this for you.

Each day, our team ensure that WinesDirect is showing the most correct and up to date prices out there. Not only that, we work closely with many wine merchants to get the latest news on any sales or particularly good offers that might be on the coming up. That’s right – we’re one of the first to know. This means, especially if you’re a newsletter subscriber , you’ll also be one of the first to know!

So, never miss a ‘Buy 6, Save 25%’ offer from the Supermarkets again.

It pays to be new here

Another benefit of searching for your wine through WinesDirect, is that we have access to a number of New Customer vouchers , thanks to our close relationships with certain wine merchants. Currently you can save up to £100 – simply by being a new customer! Browse the selection of vouchers here and see how much you could really save.

Though less common, we do also gain access to existing customers vouchers from time to time, often with the major supermarkets. On these occasions we’ll be sure to let you know straight away via our newsletter and you’ll see them promoted on our home page.

A quick history lesson

Two words for you - Historical pricing. This is for all those people out there who want to be sure they’re really getting a good deal. Our historical pricing charts (found on product pages), show you the current price available and all the prices a wine has been over the last 12 months.

This way, you’ll know for sure if this is really a good deal (and if it is, you can stock up!).

Staying alert

Love a particular wine but can’t ever seem to get your hands on it? We created ‘stock alerts’ for exactly this reason! Set up a stock alert simply clicking the ‘add stock alert’ button on the product page of the wine (or beer or spirit) you want, and we’ll alert you via email when it’s back!

If you have a bottle that you love, but only when it’s at a certain price point – then there’s an alert for you too! Our price alerts feature lets you set up a notification when a wine reaches a certain

level of discount or falls below a certain price (you decide which is the right price for you!). As with the stock alert feature, we’ll email you to let you know.

The best things in life are free

It’s worth us mentioning, that our website and services including the stock and price alerts, is completely free for you to use. We don’t ask for any contributions or donations from our members at all, and it will remain that way!

However, we would just politely ask – whether you’re a new or existing member of WinesDirect and we’ve helped you in some way – please do leave us a review. It really means a lot to us and helps us to keep going and providing a useful resource for our members ?? Simply scroll to the bottom of our Homepage where you’ll see the space to leave a review.
