Piggly Wiggly has a heritage that is local. The stores are locally owned and operated. And many of the products are grown or produced locally and regionally. They are also known for their wine departments. What to pair with the standing rib roast in your cart? No problem. Their friendly wine stewards have just the bottle. Need a discount on case wines? Get 10 percent off 12 bottles or any six magnums—and a five percent discount on half case purchases. Want a wine for a special occasion? They can typically get it in 48 hours.
