Emart's wine fair: 7,000 bottles up to 50% off, from 9,900 won

If you like a bargain bottle, South Korea's wine shelves are about to get busier. Emart, one of the country's biggest supermarket chains, announced on 10 November that its second-half "Wine Fair" will run from 12 to 18 November.

Around 7,000 wines will be discounted by up to 50%. The fair is Emart's flagship wine sale and is held twice a year, once in each half of the year.

The price range is huge. It starts at 9,900 won (roughly seven US dollars) for bottles under 10,000 won and goes all the way up to 14.98 million won for a premium bottle.

A few highlights: Ponte di Piaccianello della Pieve 21 (750 ml, Italy), the top seller at the spring fair, will be sold for around 190,000 won. Duckhorn Paradox (750 ml, US) drops to around 40,000 won, which Emart says is its lowest price this year.

The chain also lists Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino and San Felice Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva (both 750 ml) among the discounted bottles. Shoppers who pay with an Emart e-card or selected partner credit cards can get extra deals.
