Best Flash Offers
These offers listed in the table on page 36 had
high flash prices and earned high marks from at
least two of the following publications: the Wine
Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator and
International Wine Cellar, which is now part of
Vinous. Similar offers for wines from the same
winery were not included.
The five wines listed in the table above were
offered with the highest discounts in the past
12 months.
For serious collectors, flash websites offer
another way to snag high-priced wines at a dis-
count. The wines listed in the table below had
the highest retail prices of all offers in the past
12 months. Only one offer per winery is listed
here; for example, Sine Qua Non accounted for
five of the most expensive offers, but only one
of the winery's offers is listed.
