Judith Jacobson
ByJudith JacobsonJan 31, 2024 | 3 comments

It doesn't matter if you're a wine expert or are still unsure about the difference between a Syrah and a Zinfandel - everyone loves a good glass of wine. Wine subscription boxes or wine clubs can do something more than deliver wine to your home; they can give you an opportunity to develop your palate, find new favorites, and pair your drinks like a true connoisseur. They also make for amazing gifts, whether as a one-time box or a gift that keeps on giving.

Every year, we ask our readers to share their top recommended subscriptions of all types. Then we ask our experts to share what they know about each subscription to make it easy for you to know which subscription is right for you. Below, you’ll find our insights for shopping wine subscription boxes and see readers’ top choices for your favorite adult drink.

The 10 Best Wine Subscription Boxes and Wine Clubs in 2024

Read on for our reader’s recommendations for the best wine subscription boxes for yourself or your friends. If we missed anything, drop us a comment. If you’ve tried one of these services, be sure to leave a quick review (even if you had a poor experience — your review can help other readers avoid subscription remorse).

1. Winc

Best Overall Wine Club Subscription

Image from our review.

About the Subscription:

Winc is one of the best wine subscription boxes according to our readers. Their signup process is simple and straightforward. But that doesn’t mean that you’re getting the same wines as everyone else; Winc offers an exceptional level of curation so you’ll only buy bottles that you actually love.

To get started, you’ll fill out a quick survey indicating your preferences for different types of wine. The questions are simple, even for newcomers — do you like sour foods? How do you feel about citrus flavors? Do you like reds or whites or both? That will give Winc’s algorithm an idea of what your wine preferences may be.

When the survey is done, Winc suggests unique, affordable wines designed to please your palate. Each month, you’ll get four full-size bottles, and the selection ranges from traditional red and white wines to sparkling wine, certified vegan wine, no sulfites added wine and even organic wine.

Our readers love that there is enough to sample the bottles with friends or with meals. If you’re not sure about a certain recommendation, you don’t have to take it; you can easily make changes to your shipment.

Shipping: Free shipping for orders with 4+ bottles.

Starting at $59.99

2. Bright Cellars

Best Wine Club for Exploring Small Vineyards

About the Subscription:

Bright Cellars is a wine subscription that uses a mix of technology and wine experts to send you picks you’ll love. When you sign up, you’ll take a brief quiz that focuses on 18 “preference attributes” (the algorithm was developed by two MIT grads.) As a result, you’ll get a detailed palate profile to help pick the right wines for you.

Of course, no tech is perfect, so that’s where the people come in. Bright Cellars have human wine curators that sample wines to make sure they fit the bill. Our readers love that if you get a bottle you don’t like, your Bright Cellars Wine Concierge will give you a free replacement.

Another thing our readers love about Bright Cellars is that you can find a range of wines that may not be available to you locally. They focus on hard-to-find wines from small vineyards around the world, including Portugal, South America, Italy, and Spain.

Can’t get enough of a wine Bright Cellars sent? You can shop their online store for individual bottles.

For about $20 per bottle (you can choose four, six or twelve), it’s another remarkably affordable wine subscription box. Even better, you can earn exclusive rewards if you rate wines regularly (this will also help your monthly curation become better too).

Shipping: Your monthly fee includes shipping.

3. Firstleaf

Best Wine Club for an Incredible Variety

Image from our review

About the Subscription:

Subscribing to Firstleaf means you have options. The company directly works with an impressive network of winemakers and wineries and their algorithm analyzes over a million customer ratings to get you the very best of their wide variety.

You start by selecting basic preferences for wine (red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, rosé, or a mix) and wine origin (domestic, international, or a mix). Then, their simple quiz guides you through a few more taste preferences.

Firstleaf wines cost up to 60% less than retail; so even though this is one of the pricier wine subscriptions on our list (about $90/month), it offers excellent value overall. The site also has a “Wine School” to help you understand why you like (or dislike) certain bottles.

Shipping: Shipping is included in the $90 price and ships to most of the United States.

Starting at $90.00

4. Vine Oh!

Best Wine Club for Women

Image from our review.

About the Subscription:

Vine Oh! knows loving wine is about more than enjoying a full-bodied red on a chilly evening (though that sounds pretty fantastic). Wine helps you celebrate those little moments in life, and this quarterly subscription gives you something to celebrate--they offer lots of extras in addition to your bottles.

In addition to two bottles of premium wine, you’ll receive sweets, accessories, jewelry, and/or self-care goods. You don’t need to shop their site to receive recommendations; simply decide whether to receive white, red wines, or a mix of both. Recently, the company added an option for sweet wines — ideal for Moscato-loving shoppers.

One important note: Vine Oh! markets its boxes to women and some of the products (such as the earrings) are gender-specific. Guys can still enjoy the wines, which tend to feature expressive notes and elegant aromas.

Shipping: Shipping in the United States is free but if you would like to add a signature to your shipping, it's an additional $3.

Starting at $64.99
Shop Vine Oh!

5. Naked Wines

Best Wine Club for High-Quality Wines from Independent Winemakers

Naked Wines March 2019 all bottles inside with box

Image from our review.

About the Subscription:

This wine subscription service doesn’t send out boxes of wine; instead, you’ll pay $40 per month for access to shop their catalog. The monthly fee serves as a wine club credit that can be applied to any bottles you purchase.

Here’s what makes this a great option for wine enthusiasts: NakedWines.com’s prices are significantly cheaper than retail, with discounts ranging up to 60%. While there’s a limited curation, you’ll be able to read reviews from real customers, and the site offers detailed information about the characteristics of each bottle. NakedWines.com’s work in the details makes shopping for high-quality bottles a breeze.

All of the wines come from independent winemakers, and your wine subscription fee helps those artisans do what they do best. By cutting out distributors, NakedWines.com is able to offer an amazing selection with incredible value — and with a 100% no-hassle refund guarantee, you’ll have confidence in every shipment.

Shipping: Ships to the contiguous US for $9.99 or free for orders over $100. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii costs $130 and $70 per package respectively.

6. The California Wine Club

Best Wine Club for Calfornia Wines

About the Subscription:

Love California wine? Here’s the best wine subscription for you. Take a tour of small family wineries month-by-month with The California Wine Club. Each month, this wine subscription service sends two hand-selected wines along with a copy of their wine guide, Uncorked.

The wines aren’t personally curated, but the club’s experts hand-select each bottle from artisan wineries. You’ll enjoy small-batch wines with full, distinctive flavors. There’s a “Love It” guarantee, so if you’re unhappy with any bottle in your order, you can get a replacement or refund — but given the California Wine Club’s pedigree, that won’t happen often.

California has thousands of small, independent wineries, and if you’re not able to spend months combing the countryside, this wine subscription box is the best way to explore them. The curators actually visit wineries, focusing on what the winemakers truly love — not the best-selling bottles. With five levels to shop from, this wine club offers remarkable value for virtually every type of drinker.

Shipping: Price does not include shipping and ships only to the United States

About the Subscription:

Our readers love Cellars because it's super customizable. This wine subscription features region-specific blends, natural wines, and interesting varietals, and you’ll be able to shop for plenty of fantastic bottles from different regions with a quick search.

Family-owned and operated, this wine subscription started back in 1999. They have serious experience, and they offer quite a few options for exploration and discovery. Order by type (reds, whites, sparkling wines, and more), then select the amount of wine you’d like to receive and your order frequency. Prices start at under $29 for single-bottle subscriptions, but you can order by the case if you’re looking for a way to fill your wine cellar.

All orders feature a 100% “no bad bottle” guarantee. If something doesn’t travel well, Cellars will replace it or refund the charge. We also love that the subscription — while flexible — can be updated, skipped, or canceled at any time.

Shipping: Shipping is included and only ships throughout the United States

Does anyone have suggestions for those wine boxes that are semi-bulk, like 13~ or so variety bottles? I know Hello Fresh or one of the food boxes used to include coupons for these types of wine variety packs. Thanks.

Hi Tessa,
I am a member of Bright Cellars. In addition to the 4 bottles delivered monthly you frequently receive offers for cases ranging from $120-180. I have purchased a “damaged label” case for quite a steal and the bottles were pristine.

A wine box would be a lot of fun and many of these look amazing, but I live in Utah where the theocracy doesn’t allow them.
