Questions about wine clubs

Q&A: wine clubs

What is a wine club?

A wine club is a club for wine buyers. You agree to buy a certain number of bottles every year, and the club delivers them to you. The most exclusive wine clubs have higher levels of membership in which you agree to buy more wine.

What are some of the benefits of wine clubs?

You get discounts on the wines you buy. There may also be information on the wine and what to serve it with. Best of all, you get to try wines you might otherwise never have seen. A good wine club will make an effort to find unknown wines that deserve a wider audience and bring them to your attention.

How much choice do I get?

Different wine clubs offer different choices. Some offer more than one series per year. You can choose to get wines of a specific type and age group, wines from a specific wine-growing region or the best-rated wines.
