It’s easy to dismiss big brand wines. Often, they deserve it, but there are always the exceptions to any rule. Today, I’ve put together short lists of the wines you’re most likely to find today at a local retailer.

Just because you’ve been sitting on your hands counting sheep instead of shopping for wine doesn’t mean you’re going to be drink dreck over the holidays. It just means you’re going to have to move fast, do a bit of reading, and wait in line in order to drink the holidays in style.

So get off your duff and get down to the store! There’s still time to pick up something delicious for the weekend. Here are a pair of lists featuring wines you’re likely to find!
