It cost me just around 10 bucks, I took it for a month and then ran out, I need to refill it, but just have not found the time. 
How much resveratrol do you have to take, or red wine drink for it to benefit your health ?

The deal I found on Amazon may be better than on Biotivia’s site, Amazon offers free shipping sometimes.
