Many, if not most, of San Diego Wine Storage customers buy wine online.  Whether direct from the winery or from an online retailer, the choices are multiplied ten-fold over what you could find in local wine shops.

The good online retailers make it relatively painless to buy and can offer some great bargains, even after you pay shipping costs. And our customers can have their purchases shipped directly to SDWS, where we sign for the wine and either place it in their locker or hold it for pickup.

But there are caveats that you need to be aware of, and the NY Daily News recently ran 5 tips for online wine shopping, which captures a few of them.  For a more in-depth look at the do’s and don’ts of online buying, go to our previous blog, Buying Wine in the Digital Age  that digs into this very important aspect of wine collecting.
