When you’re going to the trouble of buying and storing wine, why not do it in style? That’s the thinking behind wine subscriptions, which are delivered on a regular basis and offer an interesting way to explore new wines without committing to an entire bottle at once.

Why should you subscribe to wine?

There are several reasons to subscribe to wines, but most people sign up for wine subscription boxes because they want to try new wines and expand their horizons. If you’re interested in wine and you want to try new varieties without breaking the bank, it makes sense to invest in a wine subscription service. Below, we explore some common questions about wine subscriptions and offer our picks for three of the best box services around. While many box services have free shipping, there may be an additional fee if you choose expedited shipping or add-ons like chocolates or cheese trays.

Which wine clubs are the best value?

Nowadays, you can’t swing a bottle of wine without hitting some kind of subscription service. Wine clubs have been popular for years, but as more companies have moved into that market, subscriptions seem to be taking off like never before. Some services make you sign up for entire cases—not exactly budget-friendly—but others offer smaller monthly packages with no long-term commitment. If you’re looking to start (or add to) your collection, here are some different options and their prices.

How much does it cost to join wine clubs?

When deciding on a wine club to join, you’ll want to think about cost and what is included in that cost. Every company offers different subscriptions, so it’s important to look at each one individually and make sure you understand what your monthly or yearly fee gets you. The following list breaks down some of our favourite wine clubs based on price and overall value. Remember, these are just suggestions – if you find another wine club out there that meets your needs and wants more than any of these, feel free to join! As long as they offer good customer service and fair prices, they’re all worth considering.

What do your subscriptions include?

Access is often what people look for when they sign up for subscriptions—and it’s also what they want once they start using these products. When you think about your product as a subscription, ask yourself: What do my customers gain from my product? How does my product improve their lives? What do they get out of it? It may seem like you’re focusing too much on your customers, but remember that if you don’t know how your customers will benefit from your product, then how can you tell them why they should buy it? This question will help focus your marketing efforts and give them direction.

Things to watch out for when subscribing.

Remember that wine clubs are not actually clubs, but more like long-term subscriptions. You’ll pay month after month and year after year unless you cancel your membership. Sometimes it can be hard to cancel even if you want to. Also, many clubs force you to buy an entire case (12 bottles). Most people do not consume an entire case in one month, so you are essentially paying for wine that will likely sit in your pantry until it gets old and goes bad. If you know you don’t drink much wine, avoid these types of subscriptions at all costs.

Help! I’ve subscribed but nothing arrived

If you subscribe to an online wine service and nothing arrives, it’s worth trying to contact them to see what went wrong. If you can’t get in touch, there’s not much else you can do other than wait patiently. You should also check whether any charges have been made against your card or bank account, or ask for a refund if necessary. The last thing you want is for someone to take money from your account without giving anything in return! Remember that subscriptions are all about trust – if they haven’t kept their side of the bargain, then why should you keep yours?
