I sort of liked a couple of the wines, but after 2 of these, I stopped signing up because everyone sends their typical very dry, tannic reds and dry whites.  Just not my thing.)Far cheaper for me to buy the empty bottles.  Last fall, I saw a sale for 24 - 375 ml splits for $15 each.  Even with the shipping, it was an awesome price.Right now I have 9 gallons of dessert wine from kits that I want to bottle in the splits soon.  That's 90ish bottles.My manager told me she bought 2 of the Costco advent calendars, and she saves the bottles for me.  I fill some of them up with more wine and give them back to her.  It all works out!  <img src="/images/smilies/Trophy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":try" title="Trophy    :try" data-shortname=":try" /></blockquote>
