At a time when it seems like everything around us is increasing in price, we've actually see a number of Kirkland wines go down in the price this year.
We keep a running list of every Kirkland wine detailing their historical prices, release date and average rating from us. This is the most definitive guide on the Internet covering Kirkland wines.
We parsed through the data to pull together this list of Kirkland wines that actually went down in price this year compared to prior vintages, and there were more than we expected. And more bottles going down in price vs up, which is surprising.
So let's get into the list (all pricing data is from Atlanta area locations where we bought these bottles in 2025):
Rioja Reserva (and JME Seleccion): Was $7.89, now $6.99; this price change happened earlier this year when the wine formerly known as the Kirkland Rioja Reserva changed to the Rioja Reserva JME Seleccion.
Our ratings on both wines remain the same at 89 points, a bargain at this price point.
Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc: down to $6.99 from $7:49; Not a huge difference here, but going the right direction on another popular Kirkland bottle.
Chateauneuf-du-Pape: was $19.69, now $18.99; again, not a huge change but we'll take the price going this direction instead of the other way around, especially for this wine that we adore with each vintage.
Columbia Valley Red Blend: down to $14.99 from $16.99; a delicious 90 point wine too.
Saint-Julien Bordeaux: we've only seen three vintages of this wine but it has gone down in price, just a smidge, every vintage. It started at $18.69, then $17.99 and finally hit $17.49 with the most recent 2021 vintage.
Carneros Pinot Noir: down to $8.99 from $9.99; not one of our top buys, but not a bad wine overall. We'll take the $1 off.
Russian River Pinot Noir: Another popular Kirkland Pinot went down this year. The Russian River Pinot is now $10.99, from a previous $11.99.
Pauillac Bordeaux: last, but certainly not least, is this bottle which is the surprise of the year.
The Pauillac Bordeaux was a favorite of ours and our readers, but it was discontinued seven years ago, only to reappear this year in the new 2023 vintage.
And get this, the price went down from $22.99 seven years ago, to $21.99 today. Amazing, and a perfect finish to this list.

Just bought a bottle of the Kirkland Champagne Brut at the Northern KY Costco. Unhappily, it has not gone down in price. As a matter of fact, while it used to cost $19.99, It now runs $24.99. Ouch! 25% increase - perhaps due to tariffs?
Overall, we spent quite a bit more on our latest "stock-up" trip to Costco than we have in the past. Would be interested to hear others' experiences.

$21.99 in Wayne, NJ
TERESA PETERS says
Absolutely love it! We bought two cases. We figured it would go up since it’s from France. I would definitely say it’s due to the tariffs.
Joe R Roberts says
I paid $22.99 for the new release (2023) of the Kirkland Signature Chablis---up from previous $19.99. Tariffs ??? ps. still good juice
AJ says

Burton says
Couldn't find the 4 bottle package of European wines, $34.99, but they were selling at Wayne, NJ last year's French 4 package at $29.99, so I bought 2 packages. They were also selling a California 4 pack at $44.99, but no review.
ATM says
Wine demand (as well as liquor demand) has been dropping. Prices are dropping as a result.
Fine by me! My favorite bourbon is down about $5 and many wines are dropping in price as well. I just hope they keep supplies high so the trend continues.
