I just realized when my cold stabilizing is done I will have about 200 bottles of wine to bottle. Where have you guys found affordable bottles at this quantity? thanks,
About a year and a half ago, I stumbled upon a local winery that had too many and due to increased production didn't have room to store them. Ended up getting them for $4 a case brand new. Call around. You might get lucky.
I visit the wineries around the St. Louis area very often. Most of them will give you as many bottles add you want to take for free. I never pay for them. I have one favorite one that I usually drive off with 10-20 cases at a time. They don't have to deal with them and I have bottled for the cost of cleaning them.
