If you love to kick back with a glass of wine after a long day, it's time for a new wine-purchasing strategy. Rather than schlepping bottles home from the store, opt for a wine delivery service. Yup, these are companies that deliver wine straight to your door via a monthly subscription. Below are seven services with subscriptions that offer something for everyone, no matter where you live in the country or what your wine palate is. Cheers to that!
What to Consider When Picking a Wine Subscription Service
Personal preference comes into play rather heavily when selecting wine. Luckily, there are plenty of subscription services that make catering the experience to your lifestyle easy — as long as you know what to look for. First, think about how much wine you'll realistically need. This means taking into consideration how often the wine is delivered (most subscriptions offer monthly, quarterly and even annual deliveries) as well as how many bottles come in each delivery.
Wine subscription services give you the opportunity to explore and discover new varieties, which is great for someone looking to expand their palate. But, if you already know what you like, you might want to opt for a service that is better suited to your specific needs. Whether you're looking for an all-red, all-white or variety subscription service, there are plenty of options to look through.
When it comes to a wine subscription that works for nearly anyone, Firstleaf is at the top of that list. Like most wine club services, you'll start with a quick quiz to figure out what your taste preferences are before diving into personalized wine picks for your first case. Firstleaf carries a wide variety of award-winning wines at a range of prices, so no matter your budget, you can be sure you're drinking the best of the best. You'll get a discounted first box of six wines for just $39. After that, the service is $90 per month.
If you're new to the wine subscription space, Winc is the service for you. It's the most user-friendly wine club service we've tried. You'll start with a quick five-question quiz that includes straightforward questions about taste preferences that you don't need to be a wine expert to understand. Think: Skittles or M&Ms? What foods do you eat? Which flavors do you prefer: strawberry, chocolate, lime, etc.? It has curated reviews from more than five million members to narrow down the most delicious wines for your tastes. Winc also offers private labels that you can't find in stores, as well as their own in-house bottles. And for just $60 a month, it's one of the most affordable wine subscription services on the market.
For those looking for unique bottles at affordable prices, Naked Wines is the service for you. Naked Wines works directly with independent winemakers, like Daniel Baron, Ken Deis and more, to bring customers high-quality wines from top-rated vineyards for a fraction of the price you would find in the store. Currently, you can get $100 off your first order of any six wines — meaning a case of hand-picked bottles for just $39.99. And for all you wine aficionados, customers can also become an Angel member and get up to 60% off all future purchases just by paying $40 a month to be spent on wine at any time. You can edit your settings, skip or cancel whenever you'd like.
You’ve got a lot of options with the McBride Sisters Collection wine club. You can choose either the six-bottle or 12-bottle seasonal club, which will send wine four times a year to match the season. Or, you can opt for a monthly delivery, which includes the 4-bottle Black Girl Magic Monthly Club or the 2-Bottle Sisters Choice monthly Club, which will include two bottles of wine selected by the McBride Sisters. As a wine club member, you’ll also get 10% off any additional wine orders. McBride Sisters is a Black women-owned and operated vineyard by two sisters raised in prominent wine regions in the world: California and New Zealand. No matter which wines you choose each month, you can be sure they won't disappoint.
Try out Love Cork Screw's variety of vegan wines by subscribing to the new wine club they are currently offering. You will get quarterly deliveries of two bottles of wine, which include their Pinot Grigio, Sweet Riesling, Niagara, Rosé and red table Concord. In addition to getting wine you love delivered directly to your doorstep, this wine club also includes a Love Cork Screw candle, body butter and tumblers.
This wine club offers a mixed wine club, red wine club and white wine club, and you can select your frequency of either four, six or 12 bottles a month. According to the website, the all-natural wines are made with, "organic, biodynamic and sustainable vineyard practices" and are, "curated from lesser-known wine regions such as Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, and Hungary."
Produced in small batches in France, the champagne from this Seattle-based purveyor is a great way to make sure you always have bubbly on hand to sip and celebrate with. Choose from either four, six or 12 bottles quarterly, and receive a complimentary bottle once you buy five.
