1. Wine Club Members Get Access To Discounts

How does joining a wine club or wine subscription save you money? Wine clubs do this by offering members exclusive pricing on wines, free delivery, access to limited release wines and free tickets to wine tasting events . If you are a regular wine drinker and appreciate a good wine, then joining a wine club is worth it. Members can save up to 40% on wine by purchasing through their wine club.

2. Wine Clubs Save You Time

By subscribing to a regular home wine delivery as part of your membership, you will save yourself from having to go to the wine shop. Don’t get me wrong, I love a long walk down the wine aisle, but the only problem is having to carry the wine home. There is definitely something magical about coming home to a box of wine delivered to your door.

3. Wine Clubs Let You Discover New Wines

Some wine clubs offer a service where their in house sommelier will pick the wine for you based on your taste preferences. Along with being a nice surprise, this also strips out the decision making process. Without a wine club membership, many people find they can get into a bit of a wine rut. Week after week they end up purchasing the same old Rioja or Sauvignon Blanc. Did you know there are over 10,000 grape varieties out there? Spice things up and try expand your wine repertoire. By joining a wine club it can force you to try new varietals and discover some amazing new wines.

4. Wine Clubs Now Offer Greater Flexibility

Based on your drinking habits, wine clubs will have a number of options to choose from. You can select the number of wines you want to be delivered and the timing of each delivery. The best wine clubs are those which don’t require you to be purchasing wine every month. The last thing you want is to be sent 12 bottles a month and have no where to store them. Especially if you are not getting through them. Look for wine clubs which don’t tie you in, allowing you to pause or cancel with no additional cost.

5. Wine Club Members Gain From Loyalty & Rewards

Wine clubs often have member loyalty and/or reward schemes. These work by awarding you points or credit every time you make a purchase. This is one of the key benefits to wine clubs. Make sure you check how long you have to redeem the points. The points or credit must remain valid for at least 12 months from the point they are issued or allocated to your account. Otherwise they are not worth it.
