Nobody loves wine more than millennials do.\u00a0 The Wine Market Council<\/a> reports that they consume almost half of all wine in the United States.\u00a0 Drinking can be an expensive habit if you do it often enough.\u00a0 On average, a bottle of red wine costs $15.66, meanwhile a bottle of white is $14.41.\u00a0 Fortunately, there are tricks thirsty millennials can use to save money on wine purchases.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Shop on a Tuesday<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

The next time you plan to pick up a bottle of wine, schedule your shopping trip during the week. An Ibotta<\/a> study found that it’s 6 percent cheaper to buy wine on a Tuesday than it is on a Saturday.\u00a0 To double up on the savings, use a cash back app to be rewarded for your purchase.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Buy by the case
<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

If drinking wine is part of your daily routine then it may make sense to buy by the case.\u00a0 In many places, you can qualify for a discount of 10% or more if you pick up at least a 12-pack of 750ml bottles.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Give boxed wine a try<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Boxed wine used to have a bad reputation for being low quality, but it has come a long way.\u00a0 The pros are that it stays fresher longer than bottled and you get more for your money.\u00a0 Usually when you open a bottle of wine, you need to drink it within a couple days.\u00a0 But with boxed wine, it can stay fresh for approximately six weeks because no air can seep in. When you do the math, it usually works out cheaper to buy boxed versus bottle.\u00a0 You can purchase a 3L boxed wine for $25 or less which is the equivalent of 4 750ml bottles.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Shop at discount stores<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

You\u2019re probably already familiar with Trader Joe\u2019s Two Buck Chuck<\/a>, but don\u2019t sleep on their competitors.\u00a0 Aldi\u2019s offers an award-winning selection at a low price. \u00a0Their Exquisite Collection Cotes de Provence Ros\u00e9<\/a> was ranked one of the world\u2019s best wines and only costs $8.\u00a0 Walmart has also been praised for their wine.\u00a0 Their La Moneda Reserva Malbec<\/a> won Platinum Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards and has a $6 price tag.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Pick second labels<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Often when high-end wineries have grapes that don’t meet the standard for their main line, they use them for another label instead.\u00a0 This allows customers to get good quality wine at a more affordable price.\u00a0 For instance, a bottle of Opus One<\/a> can easily go for $300 or more but their second label<\/a>, Overture, only costs $115.\u00a0 If you have a favorite high-end wine, find out if they offer a second label and give it a try.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Choose wines from cheaper regions<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Italy, France and Spain are known for being the top wine regions which is why they command the higher price tag.\u00a0 Choosing a wine from the Southern Hemisphere will still get you the delicious taste you crave but at a lower cost.\u00a0 Here are a few countries to look out for and what they specialize in:<\/p>\r\n
