  So the best and less expensive wine I've found is actually the three wishes from whole foods. I really like the cabernet sauvignon and I am trying the white wine now as I wanna have a choice of white and red. It is three bucks and cheaper and better than what you get at costco. Vodka on Oahu is around thirty to forty bucks a bottle at costco I think and I found one champagne that is 5 bucks and well rated online, but at walmart. I would have to check on the name...

  We bought all of our own alcohol for the wedding at Costco, but sorry I don't remember exact prices.

  Cases of beer (Stella, corona, hawaiian) runs about $27-30. Wines start as low as $6 per bottle and up. Hard liquor is the 1.75L bottles since it's Costco. Ketel One $40's, Bombay $30's, Bicardi Rum about $30. It's a bit more expensive than what you would be paying on the mainland (as are most things).

  
  

  Per recommendations of our bartender we ended up spending about $300 on alcohol for 40 guests. We got 2 bottles Ketel One, 1 bottle Bombay, 1 bottle Bicardi, 7 bottles of wine and 3 cases of beer. The great thing I found out is that you can return alcohol to Costco as long as it has not been chilled! Hope this helps!

  Hi there! Just returned from our wedding in Maui last Sunday and we bought all our alcohol at Costco.
  
  You can plan on the prices being similar-ish to a Costco on the mainland. We spent about $650 on alcohol for 36 guests. We ended up returning $185 worth, so spent about $450ish.
