The Definitive Guide To Costco’s Kirkland Signature Wines

[originally published 5/2020; last update 10/2024]

Costco’s Kirkland branded products are synonymous with high quality at super low prices, and the wine aisle is no exception.

In some cases, Kirkland wines can be the shining example of the ridiculous quality to price ratio you can find under these private branded products.

We’ve been tasting and reviewing Kirkland wines since before we even launched this website more than 15 years ago. In fact, our reviews of Kirkland wines are a huge reason we’ve acquired our loyal fan base over the years and they serve as the cornerstone to all of our content.

Some of the most common questions we get are around timing for certain bottles to hit stores, pricing and ratings compared to prior years, and interest in new Kirkland wine offerings.

We created this post a while back and continue to update it with current ratings, prices and timing to answer these questions, as well as help us keep track of it ourselves for managing this site.

Note: We are not including the Kirkland Prosecco or Champagne, as those are non vintage, widely available, and pretty consistent in taste and price year to year.
