Costco Wine Advent Calendars 2021 Are Back: This Year’s Wine Selection Revealed, And More

Costco (COST) has already brought back its wine and beer Advent calendars for 2021, getting consumers ready to gear up for the holiday season.

The calendar features a countdown to Christmas Eve, offering a different mini-beer or wine selection for each day leading up to the holiday.

The Advent calendars are highly sought after by Costco shoppers and sell out quickly at wholesale stores. The September edition of the Costco Connection magazine states, “It might be Advent-ageous to add two very fun beer and wine holiday items to your Costco list in early September, as they sell out quickly,” according to USA Today.

The wine calendars feature 24 half bottles and are selling for $99.99, while the beer calendar has 24 16.9-ounce cans of German beer and was spotted selling for $59.99, USA Today reported. Prices may vary by store location.

The wine Advent calendar was created by Flying Blue, which said it sources wines from small farmers and produces, bottles, and markets them under its own labels.

Included in the calendar this year is a Pays d’Oc Merlot from Southern France, a Palloncini Rosé from Northern Italy’s Rubicone region, and an Azzimato from Abruzzo -- a hilly region in South-Central Italy.

More of the wines can be found at Wineadvent-ure.com, which says that most Costco stores will have the calendar in stock by the first week of October.

As of Monday at 10:45 a.m. ET, shares of Costco were trading at $462.21, down $2.95, or 0.63%.
