Kirkland
4.4
(21)
"Fizzy wine you absolutely can't do better than Costco's Prosecco."
"My absolute favorite is the Kirkland Malbec, for $7 is a steal!"
"Thumbs up for: Kirkland Malbec, Prosecco, Rhone, New Zealand Sauv. Blanc and boxed cabernet."
"I agree with others that the Kirkland Malbec is the best wine for the price."
"Costco's Kirkland Signature Malbec is absolutely delicious and a steal at $7-$8 bucks."
"You really can’t go wrong with the Kirkland brand stuff they’re absolutely solid for the price."
"Anything French with the Kirkland label is a good bet."
"Kirkland champagne. $19.99 / bottle. REAL champagne. It's very, very good stuff."
"The Kirkland Prosecco is pretty good."
"I really like the Kirkland Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc!"

Louis Jadot
3.4
(10)
"If you have anyone who knows all of these wines, they *might* order the LJ Pouilly-Fuidse"
"I love the Louis Jadot"
"There’s nothing special, but has Louis Jadot or Sandeman ever made any truly bad wines?"
"The Beaujolais has actually come through quite well for me in a pinch before. Was expecting way less out of a $15 bottle."
"Pouilly-fuisse for sure and maybe J Lohr. The rest of that lineup is pretty sad"
"If I had to choose two, the Jadot pouilly fuisse and maybe the Ste Michelle"
"Jadot is alright and the Ste Michelle is the best of the worst imo for US stuff here"
"The jadots are probably your best bet if by “good” you mean cheap and pleasantly drinkable."
"Drink the Pouilly-Fusse and then move to another section in the store."
"Maybe the Jadot Pouilly Fuisse? This is a remarkably bad wine selection, convenience store quality TBH."
#3
Chateau Ste. Michelle
3.6
(5)
"Chateau St Michelle Riesling! ♡♡♡"
"Um...the Ch Ste Michelle is probably the best of that lineup."
"Anything Chateau St. Michelle is guaranteed good."
"I have had decent "drinkable" wine from Chateau St. Michelle and Columbia Crest. I would also drink the Beajolais and the Pouilly Fuisse."
"If I were to drink 1 it would be Chateau Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon… but I wouldn’t really be into it."
#4
The Wine Society
4.3
(4)
"At £17 you can get their exhibition rioja reserva which is (supposedly) rebadged La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi, and is delicious."
"Better value and you don't have to buy six in order to not get ripped off. Also free delivery and generally better choice."
"The wine society is a definite step up, including each brand's own bottlings which are a very good starting point for a noob."
"The cost of membership is cheap and goes towards store credit. The wine society is a Co-operative and all profit goes back into lower prices."
#5
Poplar Grove
5.0
(3)
"Personal faves: Ex Nihilo, Gray Monk, Poplar Grove (whites)."
"For Pinot Gris/grigio: -Poplar Grove -Haywire -Tinhorn Creek"

Trader Joe's
4.3
(3)
"There is a super tuscan there too... and it was SO GOOD."
"Trader Joe's has a very nice Beaujolais Villages for $8.99."
"As to their reds, they have a Chianti Reserve in a black bottle that is great."
#8
Kim Crawford
4.0
(3)
"The answer is Kim Crawford 3 pack for $30!!! Sav Blanc and it’s definitely my go to"
"A bit less acidic than the Kim Crawford, which I always found to be a bit too acidic. So yes, a great recommendation and it was enjoyed all around."
"Kim Crawford. If you need something red that doesn’t say Kirkland on it, any Malbec is good and under $20."

#36
C&S
5.0
(1)
"Their sparkling white is one of the closest things you can get to champagne outside of the actual region, because they brought over vines and soil from champagne, and they use the champagne method. It’s very good."
