Bottles?

[mtbryda203]

Where is the best and cheapest place to order wine bottles from?

I started by asking friends and family to save bottles for me. I then began to pick up bottles from a wine store that does tastings. This netted me a case of bottles a week!

I use http://morewinemaking.com/search/103185 for a good bit. Another user posted http://www.shorecontainer.com/winebottles.aspx a few weeks ago and they seem to have some good prices. Midwest/FVW seem to be more expensive than those options for the most part.

shorecontainer.com, here also. I get a lot of used bottles from local wineries. I occasionally have to oder some clear bottles when I run low, though.

Austin Homebrew's prices are pretty good if their flat rate shipping applies to bottles. I had good experience with Shore Container prior to discovering that my LHBS has Bordeauxs for $15.99 and I get a 10% discount.

Ordered 8 cs bottles from Shorecontainers yesterday for only 72.64. Good price for bottles.
Received email from them today advising me that the shipping charge would be 111.34. Total: 183.98.
Cancelled order.

Checked at Midwest Supplies. Same 8cs cost 103.92,but shipping is only 56.25. Total: 160.17.

Will check a few other places before deciding what and where to order.

Obviously it's a good idea to check shipping charges as well as list prices of heavier items like bottles, carboys, and wine kits.

$6 per case, brand new, 750ml, clear or green, bordeaux or burgundy from Kellman Bottles on route 8 in Pittsburgh.

Bill they only advertise green on their web page. Is the price the same for all 750, punted or not punted?

Your local recycling center. A whole barrel full of wine bottles and they are absolutly free!

I ended up taking ur advice today and asking the winery if I can take used bottles and they told me yes!!!! So excited I ended up scoring over 100 bottles!! I was on a mission all day

Good job! If you want new clean bottles, ask your winery if they could order extra the next time they place an order. My friend who owns a winery here is adding 28 more cases of bottles to his next order for me. I have a lot of wine aging right now.

That's smart! I thought about thAt, I thing every time I go I am going to take the cellar tour they give and try to brown nose the owner. So I will be able to ask for bottles, and hopefully ask them if they will sell me grapes or juice

$11 a case from Shore Container looked pretty good price wise until I saw the shipping. They charge about $15 a case shipping to my locale.
