We have all had to make this choice: buy wine from an online liquor store or drive all the way to brick-and-mortar liquor store. Right off the bat, I’ve to confess that I am now a huge fan of buying vino online. And here are convincing reasons you should too.

Save A Little Cash

Wouldn’t be nice if you could save oodles of money on your next purchases of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Chenin Blanc and so forth? That’s exactly what you get from an online liquor store - steal-deals, coupons, discounts, and more savings! That’s right; you can garner a discount of 15% and more on most wines and top shelf liquor when you do your wine shopping online.

Always Beat the Crowds

Buying top shelf liquor and wines before special occasions like Christmas is sometimes an arduous task. Talk of outsmarting the crowds by purchasing your wines from online liquor stores. Oh yeah - you get to order all kinds of vino from the comfort of your couch. In fact, most online liquor stores in New Zealand are always more than happy to take your orders either over the phone or online. As if that isn’t terrific enough, you can set pick up date or get your wine delivered right to your doorstep.

Plan Ahead

If you are planning a wedding, birthday party, bridal shower, anniversary and so on, it’s always wise to plan ahead. This way, you get to cover all the nitty-gritty of the event without missing anything. Also, you get to buy a variety of top shelf liquor and wines. How does researching food and wine pairing sounds? With online wine shopping, you can do a bit of homework to know what dishes go well with Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris?

You can Pre-Order Wines

Most online liquor stores allow pre-orders of out of stock or special wines. That’s something you cannot get in most brick-and-mortar liquor stores.

Lighten Your Load - if you are travelling

If you are buying a gift bottle for your parents or siblings on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or birthdays, it’s prudent to do it online. Why? For one, traveling - especially flying - with wine is a hectic thing these days - between security check ups, breakages, and whatnot.

So, if you are still at the crossroads about buying your wine from an online liquor store, now it’s a no-brainer!
