Grocery Store Wine Expands Independent Research Catalog to More Than 1,300 Wine Profiles

October 8, 2026 by Brett Williams

PRESS RELEASE: ATLANTA, GA October 8, 2026

Grocery Store Wine has expanded its independent wine research catalog to more than 1,300 individual profiles. The publication covers familiar bottles found in supermarkets and large retailers, with an emphasis on clear sourcing, useful comparisons, and direct editorial judgment.

The catalog was created for a common shopping problem. Most wine coverage focuses on limited releases, tasting-room bottles, and wines that can be difficult to find. Grocery Store Wine instead studies the bottles shoppers repeatedly encounter on ordinary store shelves.

Each profile brings together available information about the producer, grape, region, vintage, packaging, public shopper reception, and retail pricing. Sources are identified so readers can distinguish documented facts from the publication’s own conclusions.

The complete catalog is available at: https://grocerystorewine.com/wines

The site also publishes direct comparisons between bottles that shoppers are likely to consider at the same time, including Kim Crawford versus Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Kendall-Jackson versus La Crema Chardonnay, and Erath versus Sea Sun Pinot Noir.

These comparisons are designed to answer practical questions. They examine whether a higher price buys a more specific origin, stronger production disclosure, broader public reception, or simply a different style. When the available evidence does not support a clear winner, the article says so.

Grocery Store Wine currently organizes its research across 13 major grape categories. Its scoring system places wines within the context of the broader grocery shelf rather than presenting a rating in isolation. Scores are dated because public ratings, prices, and the selection of wines in the catalog can change.

The project also records gaps and conflicts in the available information. If a vintage has not been confirmed, a producer does not disclose blend percentages, or retailer records disagree, the profile identifies that limitation rather than filling it with an assumption.

“People should not need a cellar, a specialist shop, or a vocabulary test to get serious information about a bottle they see every week,” said Brett Williams, Master Sommelier. “The grocery aisle has recognizable brands, meaningful regional differences, and plenty of unanswered questions. We built the catalog to treat those wines with the same care given to harder-to-find bottles.”

Grocery Store Wine produces its scores, comparisons, and verdicts independently. Retailer ratings, producer materials, bottle evidence, and pricing observations are identified as sources, while the final editorial judgment belongs to the publication.

About: Grocery Store Wine is an independent online editorial publication covering wines commonly found in grocery stores and major retailers. It publishes source-led wine profiles, direct bottle comparisons, regional context, public rating evidence, pricing observations, and original verdicts.
