October brings cooler evenings, busy football weekends, and plenty of reasons to gather around the table in Birmingham. Whether you’re planning a Saturday watch party, serving dinner on the patio, or stocking up for an autumn get-together, Piggly Wiggly Birmingham has October beer and wine specials worth adding to your shopping list.
This month’s Specialty Beer & Wine Specials include crisp Sauvignon Blancs, Oregon Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, California Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, French sparkling wines, Champagne, craft beer, lagers, and familiar game-day favorites. Prices on the October specialty ad are good September 28 through November 1, 2026, while supplies last.
These October beer and wine deals can help you prepare for:
- Alabama football watch parties and tailgates
- Fall cookouts and evenings outdoors
- Chili, barbecue, burgers, steaks, and grilled foods
- Pasta, roasted chicken, seafood, and seasonal vegetables
- Cheese boards, appetizers, and casual gatherings
- Keeping a few favorite bottles or brews ready for October entertaining
Smart October Pairings: What to Serve With This Month’s Specials
Instead of choosing a bottle first and figuring out dinner later, start with what you’re serving. Several selections in the October ad make it easy to build a simple food-and-drink pairing for football weekends, family dinners, and fall entertaining.
Chili Night: Cabernet Sauvignon
A hearty pot of chili calls for a wine with enough flavor to keep up. Cabernet Sauvignon is a natural direction for beef chili, burgers, steak, and other savory dishes. October’s ad includes Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon for $13.99, L. Martini Prati Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon for $15.99, and Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon for $18.99, giving shoppers several price points to consider.
Roasted Chicken: Oregon Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a versatile choice when roasted chicken, pork, mushrooms, or other earthy fall flavors are on the menu. Pike Road Pinot Noir is featured for $16.99, while Left Coast Cali’s Cuvée Pinot Noir is $24.99. Both bring an Oregon option to the October lineup.
Seafood or Lighter Fare: Sauvignon Blanc
For seafood, salads, lighter appetizers, or a simple weeknight meal, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc can be an easy match. The October specials include Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc from California and Champion Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, both priced at $12.99.
Cheese Boards and Fall Appetizers: Sparkling Wine
Sparkling wine can be especially useful when you’re serving several different appetizers instead of one main course. Gérard Bertrand Crémant Brut is featured for $17.99, while Taittinger Champagne Brut is $49.99 for shoppers looking for a celebratory bottle. Pair sparkling wine with cheeses, crackers, salty snacks, or appetizers before an October dinner.
Game-Day Favorites: Cold Beer
For wings, burgers, barbecue, nachos, and other football foods, keeping cold beer on hand makes serving a crowd simple. October’s specials range from familiar Bud Light, Budweiser, and Coors Light to craft options from Alabama-based Straight to Ale Brewing Company and Monday Night Brewing.
One smart hosting tip: offer more than one style when you’re serving a crowd. A lighter beer alongside a craft option, or a red wine alongside a chilled white or sparkling wine, gives guests an easy choice without requiring an oversized drink selection.
Build an Easy October Game-Day Spread
October Saturdays in Alabama are made for football food. You don’t need a complicated menu to put together a spread that works with this month’s beer and wine specials.
Start with one hearty centerpiece, such as burgers, barbecue, chili, or pulled-pork sandwiches. Add two or three easy sides like chips and dip, slaw, vegetables, potato salad, or a cheese-and-cracker tray. Then choose a couple of beverages that work across the menu.
For a casual watch party, that might mean a cold lager or craft beer plus an Oregon Pinot Noir. For a lighter menu with chicken, seafood, vegetables, and appetizers, consider Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling wine. Keeping the menu focused makes shopping easier and leaves more time to enjoy the game.
