Black Friday is a great time to stock up on wine for summer entertaining, Christmas gatherings and relaxed evenings at home. But with so many offers around, how do you know which wine deals are actually worth buying?

A little planning helps you make the most of Black Friday wine deals, choose wines you’ll enjoy and get better value from every bottle.

1. Buy for the occasions ahead

Think about what’s coming up before you shop. Summer lunches, seafood dinners, friends dropping by, Christmas gifts and holiday get-togethers all call for different wines.

Buying a few versatile favourites means you’ll have something ready when plans come together.

2. Choose wines that work with summer food

If you’re stocking up for warmer weather, look for wines that pair easily with the food you enjoy.

• Semillon: A fresh choice with seafood, prawns, oysters and lighter meals.
• Chardonnay: A versatile favourite for roast chicken, creamy dishes or a bottle to share when friends call around.
• Verdelho: An easy-going white for summer lunches, salads, barbecue and casual entertaining.
• Early Release Shiraz: A lighter style of red that works well with barbecue and can be served slightly chilled.

A good wine deal is even better when you know you’ll enjoy opening the bottle.

3. Compare the price per bottle

A large discount can look impressive, but check the final price and how many bottles you need to buy.

Compare the cost per bottle across six-packs and dozens, and consider whether the wines are ones you would normally choose. The best value is a deal on wine you’ll actually drink.

4. Check delivery before you buy

Delivery costs can change the value of an online wine deal. Check whether freight is included and whether the advertised price is the amount you’ll pay at checkout.

5. Stock up for gifting and holidays

A few extra bottles can come in handy for Christmas entertaining, thank-you gifts or taking along to a weekend away. Choose wines with broad appeal and keep a mix of styles on hand.

What wines are worth stocking up on for summer?

For a useful summer wine selection, consider a fresh white such as Semillon, a versatile Chardonnay, an easy-drinking Verdelho and a lighter red like Early Release Shiraz. This gives you options for seafood, barbecues, casual lunches and dinners with friends.

How do you know if a Black Friday wine deal is good value?

Compare the final price per bottle, check whether delivery is included, and make sure the wines suit your tastes and upcoming occasions. A genuine saving is most useful when it’s on wine you’ll enjoy drinking.
