I rarely make a visit to Costco without cruising the wine section. Nowadays, that includes the binx and the boxes. I found a wonder French red there recently (Mouton Noir) for only $6.99. That's almost impossible to beat. Still, the bins are where you'll find the best stuff and all at reasonable prices. There is no case discount, but with Costco's everyday low prices, who needs case discounts?
All Costcos aren't going to carry the same wine inventory. And the other rule of thumb, of course, is that there's no guarantee you'll be able to find the same wine on your next visit. I like to pick up a sampling of wines and then taste them over a few days. If I really like one, then I'll go back and see if I can get more. I especially like how Costco supports regional wines, or at least they do in their stores in the Northwest. This is not only good for the local wine producers, but great for consumers as well.
I came across this review of some Costco wines that you might want to keep an eye out for.
