OUR TOP 10 VALUE WINES
We've said it before and we'll say it again: There's absolutely nothing wrong with inexpensive wine. Not all celebrations call for shelling out big bucks for a bottle — especially if they're simply the "we made it through another day in the middle of a global pandemic" kinds of celebrations.

I keep going back to The Merchant Of Wine because I know it is owned by true wine lovers who have the rare combination of great knowledge and experience with down to earth recommendations. In addition to the well edited selections, the free, quick delivery and follow up make it a seamless wine buying experience for me.

I’ve know Ian for well over a decade. He’s built something quite special over the years. Who’d have thought he’d have to maneuver his entire business online in a hurry and make it work. Well, ya know what?! He did and he’s thriving AND somehow has the best deals in wine online I’ve seen! Plus the events (dinners with famous chefs and winemakers from around the world) have kept us entertained, informed and sane during the entire year. Cheers!

Merchant of Wine has an incredible selection of unique and hard-to-find wines chosen by people that really know their stuff. You can often find wines that have aged beautifully for half the price of the current vintage, which I love!
