Why You Should Trust Us
You want the best information you can find on which wine subscriptions are worth your time and money and which ones aren’t. Nobody is better qualified to understand your choices than we are, and when journalists (Reuters, Forbes, NerdWallet, TheStreet.com, and The New York Post to name a few) need to do a deep dive on wine clubs they call us, not the other guys.
Did you notice how our list of best wine subscriptions looks different than all of those other lists? That’s because we consider ALL of the wine clubs, not just the ones with the splashiest advertising!
When we evalute wine subscriptions, we bring boxes to parties so we can share them with friends and find out what other people think of the wines, too. Our opinions about the wine on our website reflect a mix of whether we think the wine is of good quality, is sold to you at the right price, whether or not we liked them, and whether there’s any critical acclaim attached to them. We are strongly biased against bulk wine because it all tastes the same, is often on the sweet side, and it rarely tastes like what it’s supposed to. There are exceptions and we’re pleased when we find them.
How We Rate Wine Subscriptions
Each wine subscription on our site has been ranked across 10 characteristics. These rankings are then squeezed through a custom algorithm which places a weighted importance on certain aspects that make for a great wine subscription for a particular type of buyer.
For example, for the general wine consumer, we think the three most important overall traits for a wine club are the quality of the wine, the price of the actual wine that gets shipped, and opportunities to save money that are extended only to loyal wine club members.

Our favorite feature of wine subscriptions? The Satisfaction Guarantee! Few wine clubs offer refunds, nobody expects returns (because it’s not legal for you to ship wine in the mail without a license), but if you don’t like your wine, most wine clubs will replace it with something else. The Satisfaction Guarantee offered at each subscription service is a big part of our rating.
On this page of best wine subscriptions, we’re also considering intangibles: Is it easy for us as marketing partners to work with this company? Does the company seem to really value its customers? Are there extra perks to subscribing to one service versus another? Is this a really big company, a small business, or a start-up? Is this a private label wine club? Are they selling bulk wine?
