How do I know which wine gift to choose?
A few general wine gift buying tips to help you get started:
- TIP: It is highly recommended that you start your search with wine clubs that ship to your recipient’s state.
The United States has complex interstate liquor laws and many wine clubs can't ship to every
state. To avoid being disappointed after you pick out the perfect wine club gift, use our "Ships to" filter
to ensure you're only shopping wine clubs your recipient can receive.
- TIP: Pick an amount you'd like to spend, and then find the right wine club gift inside that budget. For example, if
you're looking to spend $300 on a gift, you can either choose a
3-month wine club gift
for $100 per shipment, or a 6-month wine club gift
for $50 per shipment.
If you've got a big budget, we don't recommend spending it on a case club (12 bottles per shipment) for a gift.
A case of wine weighs up to 40 pounds and most people can’t lift it. Also most people don’t have a place to store 12 bottles
of wine. Instead, premium wine club
and send better quality wines as a gift.
- TIP: Wine clubs are a great last-minute gift idea since many of them will let you send a personalized or
custom message to your recipient announcing the gift. This message can arrive via email or be made
available for you to download, print, and give to the recipient directly.
The Fast and Easy Way to Buy a Wine Club Gift
We promised it could be easy to buy a wine club as a gift, so here are two recommendations that we're extremely confident
you'll be satisfied with and your recipient will be delighted with:
Gold Medal Wine Club
and The Original Wine of the Month Club
TIP: Gift Wine Clubs are typically a two-bottle per month wine club offered
on a pre-paid basis (you pay for the entire gift up front, including shipping costs and taxes). The first month
usually comes with "enhanced" packaging that really amplifies the special nature of a wine club gift.
The More Customized Approach to Buying a Wine Club Gift
Do you know that your gift recipient is a wine enthusiast? If so, you've got some exciting options to choose from!
TIP: If your wine gift recipient loves a particular varietal, get them a wine club that focuses on just that! You
can find wine clubs focusing on their favorite grape like: Cabernet Sauvignon,
Pinot Noir, and
Chardonnay.
If you're looking for a wine gift for someone who appreciates unusual wines or new experiences, we recommend
choosing a gift subscription like the
Unique Whites Wine Club
from Decanted Wines or Eclectic Wine Club
from Coastal Vineyards. Plonk Wine Merchants
also has a fun and affordable wine club that makes a great gift!
