Buying wine on the Big Island- Should I ship it in?

We will be staying in a condo for a few weeks in Waikoloa and know how pricey wine is on the island. Are there any decent red wines under $20? If so, which wines do you enjoy there? Where is the best place to buy them? Thanks, in advance, for your feedback.

    There are many options for purchasing wine on the Big Island.

    Kamuela liquors has a broad selection and pricing is good as well.
    Costco offers terrific pricing.
    I simply would not bother shipping anything...epecially if "Cost " is of concern
    The new "Island Gourmet" at the Queen's Marketplace has an interesting wine selection....perhaps a little more expensive than the choices in Kailua -Kona...but the convenience of being right within the Waikoloa Beach resort is a plus.

      The wine shops in both Kona and Waimea have very nice selections...Costco has some nice reds, too...good luck
