We have been on the hunt for the best Costco wines under $20. Costco is the largest wine retailer in the U.S.. and offers some of the best prices available. We are reviewing new wines each week and updating our list below.
Costco is famous for their great wine selections and unbeatable prices. They are able to undercut most liquor retailers due to the large volume of wine they sell. We also love the hunt, they are constantly changing out their selections so load up while you can. Several times we have found a new favorite wine only to return a few days later and it's sold out.
Don't hesitate to try their "Kirkland Signature", which is the Costco house brand wines. We have found that these are high quality wines that are made exclusively for Costco. The research we have done suggests these are often times identical to other must more expensive wines and selling at a fraction of the price.
