For those who like to be stocked up on their favorite wines this holiday season, there are ways to do so on a budget. Firstly, at this time of year, there are many factors that are on your side. From mid-November to mid-January, local supermarkets tend to have huge wine sales. Also in the winter, starting with the December 2010 issue, Consumer Reports features list of holiday wine bargains.

Here are a couple of ways you can take advantage of wine bargains around the holidays:

Buy in Bulk: if you know that you’ll continue to drink a certain wine over the course of a few months, take advantage of discounts you’ll receive by buying in bulk. Safeway, for example, offers 10% off of orders of 6 bottles of wine or more. You could combine bulk savings with supermarket sales to save a great deal on wine that will last you for a while.

Shop at a Warehouse Club: clubs like Costco usually have a fine selection of wines sold for reasonable prices.
