Today when we heard about the CatchOfTheDay launch of wine sales we got very excited. It has been a while since we made a purchase from this website however it certainly brings back great memories of the midday mad rush for the single deal per day they once had. Now they’re selling hundreds of items. We’ve spent some time browsing their wine selections and we’ve matched them to Vintage Cellars and Dan Murphy’s to see how they all stack up.

Finally…

Delivery is one where we thought things could swap and change the result. Ultimately all three are capable of standard $10 delivery for next business day so we’re leaving this out of the mix. We will mention also that Dan Murphy’s were quick to inform us (via twitter) they they will BEAT any competitors price. So in some of the comparisons above you could show the staff at Dan Murphy’s the competitor price and they’ll do more than match it.

The main conclusion that we have pulled from this is simple, in an online world where searching for comparisons take a whole ten seconds, it can be truly worth it to ensure you pay the right price for your favourite drop.
