The Kirkland Signature brand is prevalent throughout the Costco warehouse, and the wine department is no exception. There are usually a dozen or so different varietals carrying the Kirkland moniker in the wine department. These wines vary from the classic 750 milliliters to boxed wine to 1.5-liter selections.
To determine which wines were worth adding to the cart and which were not, I grabbed a few wine-drinking pals to taste-test 15 varieties of Costco wine. The taste: You know that burn you get from drinking bourbon or whiskey where you can feel the alcohol going down your throat? Maybe it's good for those spirits, but it's a hard no when you get that taste from a wine. Unfortunately, that was the aftertaste of this wine, with notes of sweet grape juice on the front end and pure alcohol on the back.
When I was shopping for wines, a helpful man in the wine department told me that the sauvignon blanc was the best-selling Kirkland Signature wine. After all, what other wine has a nickname? Yes, talking to you, Savvy B. I expected this $7.49 best-seller to rank higher on the list. I did not expect the larger bottle of chardonnay for $8.99 to be the better of the two, but it was. Results were mixed among our tasters, but I'm ranking it slightly higher as there wasn’t anything wrong with it—even if it wasn't our flavor palate. I could see those who gulp chardonnay on the regular or a younger crowd buying this in droves. The price point is right, and it’s easy drinking.The taste: This was pretty tropical-tasting, as per the tasting notes on the bottle.
When choosing between wine in a bottle or a box, I will grab the bottle every time. Combine the stigma around boxed wine with the stigma of a Kirkland Signature pick for $14.99, and you have a recipe for non-interest. I know Costco carries other cabs, but they weren’t available when I purchased the wine. Lo and behold, I was surprised in a good way.
