Editor's Choice: The 8 Best Grocery Delivery Hacks That Will Save You Money & A Trip To The Store

Sort By Price

Details: When shopping online, you can easily find affordable bottles to drink by sorting by price. If you aren't sure which to pick, go by reviews, or try one of the free LCBO workshops to help you learn more about wine.

Opt For The Larger Size

Details: If you love one type of wine, purchase the box size as it is often much cheaper per glass.

Check Out The Smart Buys

Details: There is no need to guess what cheap bottle might taste good. On the LCBO's website, they have a page where they list delicious wines for under $20.

Browse The Clearance Deals

Details: Did you know there is an entire page of budget-friendly clearance wines you can buy?

Shop The Less Popular Wine Regions

Details: To save money, skip wines from famous regions like Champagne, Bordeaux or Napa Valley as they are much more expensive. Instead, you can find affordable bottles from Portugal, Languedoc, Sicily, Chile or South Africa.

Stock Up During Major Sales

Details: If you plan on stocking your bar cart or wine rack, it is a smart idea to wait for annual sales like Black Friday as you can save big on your favourites.

Collect Bonus Air Miles

Details: When shopping, look for the wines that give you bonus Air Miles. Instead of purchasing that Instant Pot you had your eye on, you can trade-in your points for a reward.
