1BUY IN BULK Many wine shops will
offer a discount if you buy
a particular wine by the
case. Ask your local store
for their policies before
making your purchase.
2SHOP SALES Frequent local wine
shops to get a sense of
how their sales work—

party wines when you see

3GO GLOBAL ook for wines
from less-trendy wine-producing areas, such as
white wines from Paso
Robles or Santa Barbara
rather than Napa Valley, or
red wines from Argentina
rather than France.
4THINK BUBBLY Sparkling wines
are fun, festive, and a
pleasant change of pace.
Bonus: Many sparkling
wines are less expensive
than Champagne but are
just as flavorful. Look for
Cava, Prosecco, sparkling
Pinot Noir, and brut rosé.
5TRUST YOUR TASTE BUDS
Ask for staff
recommendations for
inexpensive wines based
on what you’re serving.
Buy a few, taste, and go
with what you like. Just
because a bottle is more
expensive doesn’t mean
you’ll like it more.
