Wine.com - Offering a huge selection of wines in all price ranges. This site has unique search features to help you find the perfect wine for any occasion or gift-giving opportunity. You will also find good information on wine basics and a quick guide to current wine shipping laws. Often new customers will be eligible for their 1 cent shipping promotions or Wine.com's flat $10 shipping, tough to beat!

Whether you are looking to garner a fantastic wine gift set for a wedding, anniversary, Dad's day, corporate gifts, etc. You name it - they've got it! They also have an impressive "themed" collection of wines including a unique Discovery Wine Sampler, featuring 12 wines from around the world to introduce you to varietal style. If Big Bold Reds are your game, or Summer White wines call your name, then you will find it all at My Wines Direct. Did I mention that they have free shipping?!

KLwines.com - This site has over 30 years of wine business experience and it shows in both the quality of the wines as well as in the collection of countries and vintages they consistently carry. Easy searches can be conducted by price, by country or by varietal. I appreciate that K&L wines sell direct imports at fantastic prices and that they keep their inventory counts extremely accurate at all times.

They contract with reputable wineries to allow Wine Lovers choices in vintage and varietal selection and then the label component is yours to choose or design. Very fun!

Wineaccess.com - A good wine site for buying wines that you've had a little trouble locating on other sites. They carry over 60,000 wines from over 100 different wine stores. Wine Access also offers a wine club that is certainly worth a look.

Winemonger.com - This site is devoted whole-heartedly to Austrian wines. It is run by a husband and wife teamand they provide excellent, personal customer service. If you are looking for wines from Austria, you won't find a better site or source!
