Get clearance gift wine

When you want to bring a nice bottle of wine to the home of a friend who knows a thing or two about wine, don’t overlook the clearance section of your grocery store. Don’t get distracted by the card member prices on the new wine, in the wine aisle. The real deals are back in the clearance section, next to the old St. Patrick’s day cupcakes and off-brand vitamins. That’s where you’ll find the bottles that were once $30 for $15. The trick is very carefully peeling off that “clearance” sticker so the recipient thinks you shelled out the full $30 for this gift.
