I just got a note from one of my favorite online wine stores, winestilsoldout.com, that this week on August 1 is Cheapskate Wednesday.  As you can see by their ads on my site, of course they are one of my favorites.

Cheapskate Wednesday is a marathon type event starting Wednesday at midnight with 48 wines for $6.99-$15.99 each.  They’ve tasted some 400 wines and picked the 48 best for this event.

The event starts Wednesday at midnight. From 12:00am to 9:00am there will be a new wine presented on the site each 30 minutes. The wines will not change even if they sell out. At 9:00, am the wines will be replaced when sold out, or every 30 minutes, whichever comes first. This will last until 6:00pm. The balance will stay on for 30 minutes each until 11:59 pm. 

They will begin with a wine for $6.99 and escalate until they get to $15.99 and then repeat the process until all the wines have been presented. They have purchased a good amount of each wine, so they do not believe there will be a frenzy. Every wine offered will have a picture of the label and a description, as well as rating (if one could be found).

You know where I’ll be this Wednesday… shopping!
