Cheap Wine Sites

I'm a big wine geek and I'm always looking for a way to either save money on wine or try new ones on the cheap, so I'm really psyched about these two new sites I recently discovered. One launched today (at 12am) — it's called CinderellaWine.com. (Not the best of names, IMO.) The site is part of the Wine Library network. (I purchase from WL every now and then and have been to their store in NJ. I like it.)

Every night at midnight, CinderellaWine.com will list one wine at a super cheap price. So cheap, that they promise to beat the lowest price for that wine on Wine-Searcher (Wine-Searcher is like PriceGrabber for wines.) I checked the site out at midnight this morning and it was down. I'm guessing too many ppl logged on and their servers buckled. By the time 12.05am came, the wine was sold out. The site is up and running now with a new wine, but that wine sold out as I wrote this post. That sucks.

There's a competing site called Wines Til Sold Out, which does the same thing. (Minus the Wine-Searcher promise.) They've been around a lot longer and list the wine reviews right on the homepage.

I've never used either of the sites, but I'm gonna try both of them out and see who offers the best discount, quickest delivery, best wines (anyone can sell a crap wine for cheap), best customer service, and which one I prefer. Who knows, I make like 'em both. I know there's also Wine Woot, but Dan mentioned they're kinda meh. I'll try to order from CinderellaWine and Wines Til Sold Out this week and post a quick update when I do.
