Find the Perfect Wine Club for You
This page contains all of my current wine club reviews. You can sort and filter all 66 currently available wine clubs based on your personal wine preferences, my wine club ratings, and where you’re shipping the wine to. I also offer extra filters if you’re buying a wine club membership as a gift.
These reviews reflect the knowledge gained by trying 100s of wine clubs and 1000s of bottles of wine over more than a decade. At the bottom of this page I also include a list of every wine club company I’ve reviewed and some notes about wine clubs for which I have not done a formal review.
I have reviewed wine clubs since 2009. Beginning in 2014, my review process became more rigorous with the development of a formal review system, which I have revised and improved several times.
Learn more about the value of my reviews or please ask me for a personal recommendation for yourself or someone else. I’d be delighted to help.
FYI: I find great wine deals so you don’t have to. To keep me on the hunt, I earn a commission when you buy wine based on my recommendations.

This is a complete record of every wine club company I’ve formally reviewed. Prior to 2013, this meant I published a review of the subscription service and possibly tasted the wine. Since 2013, this means I tasted the wine and wrote a full review including a wine review. I don’t publish the content for the ones that don’t have links: they are no longer in business, they no longer offer a wine club, or the reviews are very old and don’t meet my standards.
For a variety of reasons there are wine clubs about which I have an opinion I feel is worth sharing, even if I don’t have a formal review to point you to. That means I don’t currently have a financial relationship with the company or can’t endorse their product so there is no point in publishing a formal review.
It's hard not to admire Gary Vaynerchuk's success. He was a hard-working wine retailer (Wine Library) who had the idea to do online wine tastings with personality. He turned those viral wine videos into an empire, the including his monthly wine club. Not being a Gary Vee follower myself, it's hard for us to endorse his club — I’m not familiar with what kinds of wines he likes and their one-page wine club description is missing some crucial information that would help me out: what wines have been sent before? Some customization and predictability would be useful, too: I’m not excited that you get anywhere from 1-4 bottles of wine each month. Other than I assume you’re getting a deal, you don't know how much it costs... not really easy to work with for people on a budget. Check out the Gary Vee Wine club.
Harry & David is renowned for their amazing pears, but their quality and taste-level extends well beyond just fruit. I’m very interested in the Harry & David Wine Club. In the past they partnered with Wine.com to fulfill this service, but that wasn’t interesting at all. The new Harry & David Wine Club is especially designed for gift-giving in that each shipment contains private-label Harry & David wine from a winery in Oregon (where Harry & David is located). They've changed the format a few times over the years, but they offer 3-, 6-, and 12-month wine club memberships now. The Wine Club starts at $124.99 for 3 months, Wine & Cheese Pairing Club is 3 months from $114.99, and the Fruit, Wine, and Cheese Club starts at $179.99 for 3 months. The wine and cheese pairing clubs are unique and getting award-winning fruit to boot sounds like a dream gift. Shipping is $9.99 per shipment extra.
With three California locations, Redwood City, San Francisco and Hollywood, this wine store offers a broad range of wines from around the world. For each of their five wine clubs for the most common wine drinkers (shipping and tax is extra on all clubs): Best Buy wine club is $19.95/month for two bottles; Premium Wine Club is $29.95 for two bottles; Signature Red Wine Club is $49.95/month for two bottles; Champagne Club is $69.95/shipment, two bottles every other month; Club Italiano is $39.95/month for two bottles. You can also design your own wine club with their Personal Sommelier Service. If you live near a store and can pick up your shipment, go for it. If you’re outside the area, I recommend trying an online wine club.
I know how much y’all love Costco (I do, too) and the wine selection is often pretty great, but I hate to tell you, there is no Costco Wine Club. Maybe you can start a local group of Costco wine lovers to make it a thing?
