5 Costco Wines to Avoid (And 3 You Should BUY)

Five of the most famous wines at Costco cost you more than they should. Three bottles with a warehouse name on the label beat all of them, and the proof is one small line most people never read. In this video, I count down eight bottles. First, the five famous names I would skip: Apothic Red, Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Meiomi Pinot Noir, Whispering Angel Rosé and Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Then the three Kirkland Signature wines I would put on my own table: the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, the Côtes de Provence Rosé, and the Kirkland Champagne Brut. Every bottle to avoid comes with a cheaper swap. You will also learn how Kirkland wine works, why the place on the label matters more than the brand, and the three questions that let you judge any bottle at Costco in ten seconds. Prices change by state and by store, and Kirkland wines change from vintage to vintage, so check your local shelf.
