Wineries and product discounting

Posted by jimbill on October 11, 2013 at 17:30:22:
It happened again.

Last year I found a Siduri pinot at Costco for quite a bit less than the winery charged me from their mailing list. On top of that, I paid S&H.

A few weeks ago Sbragia winery called me and offered a limited bottling of their meritage. I ordered two bottles. The winery rep pointed out that with the purchase of a couple of more bottles there would be a discounting in the S&H. So at her strong recommendation I added two bottles of their merlot. Last week the merlot was at Costco for $10 a bottle less than I paid for it. Plus no S&H fees.

I feel that if a winery is going to deep discount its' wines to a national chain like Costco it should offer the discount to their loyal winery customers first.

I emailed them my thought and had my name removed from their contact list.
