Open a door, pour a glass: Total Wine’s Advent Calendar is already here

Forget chocolate. December is getting a wine-filled upgrade.

The Total Wine 2026 Advent Calendar turns the traditional holiday countdown into a 24-day tasting adventure. Behind each numbered door is a miniature bottle of wine, giving you a new pour to uncork as Christmas gets closer. The 2026 calendar features 24 Winery Direct wines from around the world.

The best part? It’s $89.99, and that works out to about $3.75 per bottle, before tax — not a bad way to add a little variety to your December evenings.

The lineup covers plenty of wine styles, so there’s something different to look forward to throughout the month. Expect selections that can include reds, whites, rosés and sparkling wines, with grapes such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Riesling represented in the assortment.

Wines have also come from regions across the globe, including France, Spain and South Africa.

With this exceptional value and limited availability, this calendar typically sells out by early to mid-November. Pick it up before it’s gone.

And yes, opening the doors is part of the fun.

You can make it a nightly ritual, grab a glass, open the day’s bottle and see what’s waiting. Feeling competitive? Turn it into a tasting challenge with friends or family. Keep score, embrace the element of surprise while comparing favorites, and crown the best bottle of the month. By Dec. 24, you’ll have tasted your way through two dozen wines and may have discovered a few bottles worth seeking out in full size.

The calendar also makes an easy holiday gift for the wine lover who already seems to have every bottle, opener and wine glass imaginable. There’s no wrapping individual bottles or creating your own assortment — the countdown is already packed and ready to go.

For $89.99, the Total Wine 2026 Advent Calendar offers 24 excuses to raise a glass during the holiday season. Whether you open one door every night or decide that Dec. 1 deserves a head start, it’s a festive way to make the countdown to Christmas considerably more delicious.
