How to choose a wine club
Start with how you actually drink, not with the club. If you open a bottle or two a week and you're bored of picking the same thing, a discovery subscription that adjusts to your feedback pays off fast. If you already know what you like, a credit-style club is closer to a savings pot: Virgin Wines' WineBank takes £15 a month and adds 20%, Naked Wines starts at £25. And an independent merchant's club gets you bottles chosen by a person whose palate you can learn to read.
Watch the advertised price, because it is almost always the cheapest tier. Entry points across the independents here start around £18.50 a month, with most between £30 and £70, but the same club will usually sell you a better case for considerably more. Wee Vinoteca is a clean example: three cases, six bottles in each, £85, £110 or £150 every two months, and the only thing that changes is what's in the box. At the top end, Cellar Door and Highbury Library both run past £350. So compare the tier you would actually buy, not the headline. Cellar plans are a different proposition again, buying wine to lay down rather than drink this month, and they start higher: Berry Bros. & Rudd's asks £250 a month. Three things worth checking before you commit. Can you pause without emailing anyone. Is delivery in the price. And do you pick the wines, or do they.
Independents come first on this page on purpose. That's where the bottles you won't find in a supermarket tend to be, and the order within each section comes from Sommly member ratings rather than from the clubs. If you drink natural or organic, or you'd rather back English and Welsh growers, the category pages cut the list down. And if signing up for a year feels like a lot, a tasting near you costs less and tells you more about what you like before anyone starts choosing on your behalf.
Wine club questions, answered
- What is the best wine club in the UK?
- There is no single best one, because the right club depends on how you drink. Discovery subscriptions suit people who want to be surprised, credit-style clubs suit people who already know their favourites, and independent merchant clubs suit people who want a buyer with a real palate choosing for them. Every section on this page is ordered by ratings from Sommly members, not by who pays us.
- How much does a wine club cost per month?
- Credit-style clubs are the cheapest way in: Virgin Wines WineBank takes £15 a month, Naked Wines £25, and you spend the balance on wine. Independent merchants mostly start between £30 and £70 a month, but that is the entry tier. Most clubs sell a better case above it, and the gap is wide: Wee Vinoteca runs three six-bottle cases at £85, £110 and £150 every two months, while Cellar Door and Highbury Library both reach past £350. Cellar plans that buy wine to lay down start higher again, at £250 a month for Berry Bros. & Rudd. Delivery is not always included, so check that before comparing two prices.
- Can I cancel or pause a wine club subscription?
- Usually yes, and the bigger clubs say so plainly. The Wine Society states that Wine Without Fuss members are not locked in and can skip a delivery or cancel whenever they want. Some clubs are stricter: Gusbourne's Explored membership runs for a minimum of twelve months. Check the cancellation terms before joining, particularly where payment is monthly but delivery is quarterly.
- Are wine clubs worth it?
- A club earns its money if the alternative is buying the same three supermarket bottles on repeat. You pay a bit more per bottle than a shelf promotion, and what you get back is someone widening what you drink. If you are not sure yet, go to a tasting first. It costs less and teaches you more about your own taste than a first delivery will.
- Do wine clubs make good gifts?
- They do, provided you buy a fixed-length gift subscription rather than signing someone up to a rolling payment they then have to cancel. Wanderlust Wine Club sells its subscription specifically as a gift, in tiers of four, eight or ten bottles. Clubs that work well as presents are grouped in the gift category on this page.
