Nov 5, 2012 6
(TheDrinksBusiness) - The world’s largest wine retailer, Costco, is branching out into the UK market, having launched a UK website selling high-end wines and spirits.
Cristal 2004, one of the wines available at Costco.co.uk
Open to both Costco members and non-members, the site, which went live last week, features 131 different wines and spirits in its range, including Cristal, Krug and Dom Pérignon Champagne, and classed growth Bordeaux from the acclaimed 2009 vintage.
At the very top end is a 75cl bottle of Taylor’s Scion tawny Port dating back to 1855 housed in a bespoke crystal decanter, which is on sale for £1,599.99.
Meanwhile, a single bottle of Château L’Eglise Clinet Pomerol 2009 is priced at £339.99, while the same vintage of “flying fifth” Château Pontet-Canet is going for under a third of the price at £99.99.
