For certified oenophiles and total newbies alike, a wine subscription is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Not only does it introduce you to new varietals you wouldn’t have heard of or have access to locally, but it also encourages you to think outside the box, broaden your tastes, and even surprise yourself! And since most usually come with handy tasting notes and pairing tips to peruse at your convenience, a subscription service can actually be a friendlier and more diplomatic experience over shopping in person.

10 Best Wine Subscription Services

    With the myriad of options available, it can be tricky — and even downright intimidating — to know where to start and how to navigate the world of wine. Wine subscriptions, by virtue of their own respective sommeliers and in-house experts, take care of the heavy guesswork: All you need to know is what you like. And for complete beginners who need help even figuring that out, a few also offer helpful quizzes to help get you on the right track.

    A clever and efficient way to stock up your wine fridge with a curated set of favorites, a wine subscription makes a thoughtful gift for the wine lover in your life, too. Get ready to be the host with the most at your next get-together with the most creative and satisfying subscription services on the market.

    Splash Wines
    Splash Wines

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly, every other month, or every 3 months
    • Bottles: 6 (for $59) or 15 (for $89), both with options for upgrades
    • Type: Depends on preference

    An outstanding wine subscription, Splash nails its prime spot on our list because of its great customizability — as well as the fact that it gives you access to high-quality varietals at a not-too-astronomical price. Their subscription tiers are pretty straightforward — choose from monthly, every other month, or quarterly — and pack quite the punch per delivery: A mere $89 for 15 bottles is plenty satisfying for the average home collector.

    Another thoughtful perk is being able to upgrade your shipment from a Standard mix to one that’s either Vineyard quality (+ $10) or Cellar quality (+ $39 for the 6-pack or $70 for the 15-pack).

    Want to try their curations before committing to a subscription? No problem: Those looking for a one-off gift or sampler can also choose from their many a la carte curated cases, which offer up to 60% off retail.

    Best Budget
    Winc
    Winc

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly
    • Bottles: 4
    • Type: Depends on preference

    The fact that that Winc offers four bottles at less than $30 a month easily secures it as one of the most value-packed subscriptions on this list. Your own taste profile also serves as the basis for your selections: Take a friendly six-question quiz upon signup to determine your preferences, and they’ll go from there.

    Your shipment comes with either all red, all white, or a mix of both. Erica Murphy, our senior director for SEO and content, loves Winc’s convenience and democratic approach.

    “Winc was founded on the basis that wine should be accessible to all,” she says, “and the majority of the bottles they sell are around $15.”

    Whether you’re looking to build your collection or are all about a budget-friendly option, its varietals punch delightfully well beyond their price point.

    Wine of the Month

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly, every other month, or every 3 months
    • Bottles: From 2 bottles at $38
    • Type: Depends on preference

    Starting at less than $40 for their two-bottle Classic Series (and known by many as “the club that started it all”), the Wine of the Month Club was founded in 1972. Yup, your parents have probably heard of this O.G. wine-to-door service, and have probably enjoyed it while snacking on some quality fondue.

    It boasts probably the most diverse selection of wine gifts and subscription levels available, which makes it a great option if you want something reliable and trustworthy. See what all the fuss is about by trying out one of their crowd-pleasing tiers ... or spark a trip down memory lane for the ’rents with a subscription, perhaps?

    Best Pairing Bundle
    Fruit, Wine, and Cheese Club
    Harry & David

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Every 3, 6, 9, or 12 months
    • Bottles: 1, with fruit and cheese to match
    • Type: Pre-set per month

    A fun (and efficient) gift for frequent hosts and charcuterie fans everywhere, the Harry & David Fruit, Wine, and Cheese Club subscription takes pairing to a super precise level. Their in-house experts make the not-so-simple task of matching artisanal cheese with just the right wine and fruit effortless and pitch-perfect — and subscribers luckily can reap these rewards without the guesswork.

    Their entry-level tier is priced at $174.99 for three months, meaning less than $60 a month gets you one bottle of their preset, seasonal wine, alongside a chosen fruit and cheese bundle to match. Those who want more variety to their vino might skip out on this service, but home connoisseurs who want an indulgent, unique, and well-rounded tasting experience month on month should look no further.

    Best for Beginners
    Blue Apron Wine
    Blue Apron

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly
    • Bottles: 6
    • Type: Red, white, rosé, or mixed, depending on preference

    Subscribers of Blue Apron’s beloved meal delivery service won’t be surprised that their wine subscriptions also offer satisfying sips, at the value and convenience that first put the brand on the map. Each wine subscription bundle comes with six 500-milliliter bottles of your varietal of choice (that’s two-thirds the size of a regular bottle, which they tout as perfect for sharing between two people).

    Bottles come out to $10 each (the total cost is $69.99 a month including shipping), and you’ll also receive detailed tasting notes, pairing tips, and even a story behind each specially-crafted wine.

    Since Blue Apron works directly with vineyards and winemakers for their custom wines, we like that newbies or those otherwise intimidated by the culture are introduced to acclaimed varietals, all at less than normal retail.

    Best for Connoisseurs
    Roscioli Wine Club
    Rimessa Roscioli

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Every 6 months
    • Bottles: 12 per shipment, starts at $204 per 6 bottles
    • Type: Mixed

    Is there a wine snob in your life you just can’t seem to please? Perhaps a subscription to one of Rome’s most storied, family-run wine cellars might finally do the trick.

    Rimessa Roscioli, one of Italy’s most famous tasting rooms, just made their heritage wine club available stateside, so no — ticket to Rome not necessary (though that would be divine). Oh, and did we mention that the late, great Anthony Bourdain was a fan?

    Subscriptions aren’t cheap: They start at $204 for six bottles, and are tiered to target everyday oenophiles to expert collectors. With each shipment, however, you can expect artisanal, organic, Old World curations with “an emphasis on biodiversity and respect for the terroir,” with their producers stressing a minimal use of sulfites.

    The coolest bit is their fully immersive tasting experience: Scanning the QR code behind each bottle allows you to meet the winemaker and receive pairing tips. Subscribers also have unlimited access to Roscioli’s online wine community, where you can follow courses or have a direct line to a vintner or Roman sommelier for any pressing questions.

    Last but not least, should you ever make it to the motherland, subscribers also get a complimentary wine tasting at Roscioli in Rome. *chef’s kiss*

    Most Fun
    Somm Select
    Somm Select

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly
    • Bottles: Starts at 4
    • Type: Mixed

    We were actually hard-pressed when deciding whether Somm Select was our most satisfying pick for wine subscriptions or the most creative — either way, it’s certainly a standout. It’s founded and helmed by master sommelier (and sommelier show alum) Ian Cauble, so you can rest assured your selections are immaculately curated ... or at the very least, there to impress.

    The lowest subscription tier, $99 a month, gets you a mixed bag of four introductory bottles. It’s their blind bottle tier, though — a set of six bottles wrapped in numbered black paper, complete with notes and instructions from Ian himself — that drive the elite tasting vibe home. This option is great for a fun hosting night or for giving yourself a literal taste test at home.

    Black-Owned
    The Sip Society
    The Sip

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Every other month
    • Bottles: 2 to 3 bottles at $54.95 (annual) or $59.95 (bi-monthly)
    • Type: Sparkling wine and champagne

    For those that love bubbly, The Sip is one of the most value-packed, accessible, and fun sparkling wine subscription services out there. At less than $60 a month, you’ll receive up to three 187-milliliter bottles (or one half bottle and one 187-milliliter bottle) of sparkling wine or champagne.

    The amount you receive is fantastic for those starter “Cheers!” moments and mini celebrations. It’s also ideal for rounding out your regular red and white wine collection or just simply discovering exciting new sparkling varietals — all via a judgment-free tasting approach.

    As a Black- and woman-owned brand, The Sip also aims to bring diversity into the wine space, where less than 1% of brands are Black-owned. From their “real talk” tasting guides that offer down-to-earth descriptions of their wines to their “Take a Sip, Give a Sip” pledge that gives clean water to the East Oakland Community Project with every box sold, accessibility is at the forefront.

    Their main goal? To build a fresh, new community for passionate wine drinkers to explore their palates, all without breaking the bank.

    Best Canned
    Club Nomadica
    Nomadica

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Monthly or every 3 months
    • Amount: 12 or 24 cans for monthly subscriptions, 36 cans for quarterly subscriptions
    • Type: Red blend, white, rosé, sparkling white, sparkling rosé

    Perfect for getaways and abject convenience aside (who are we to argue with a tab-topped can?), the world of canned wine has admittedly garnered some mixed reviews over the years. Nomadica breathes new life into the category, however, and even members of the old guard are taking notice.

    Nomadica wines are premium California wines — this gravitas from a West Coast terroir, coupled with vintners lauded for quality wines harvested via sustainable practices (again, very West Coast), all curated by founder and sommelier Kristin O., make for a well-rounded sip. We love the different varietals on offer, and its cans also feature unique artist designs that up the Cali cool factor.

    Under their $108 monthly subscription — aka The Nomad — subscribers can choose between 12 or 24 cans (the equivalent of eight bottles) of either red blend, white, rosé, sparkling white, or sparkling rosé. The Adventurer, their quarterly subscription, costs $180 per delivery and gets you 36 cans (the equivalent of 12 bottles) of one or two 4-packs of all of the varietals in one go.

    Best Natural
    Primal Wine Club
    Primal Wine

    Key Specs

    • Frequency: Every 1, 2, or 3 months
    • Bottles: 3, 6, or 12
    • Type: Red, white, or mixed

    From hives to really headache-y hangovers, much has been said these days of the effects that wine sulfites have on our health. If you’re a believer — or just want to try some solid low-sulfite options — Primal Wine Club is the subscription that lets you rest (and breathe) easy.

    Their mission is to make natural wine easily accessible wherever you are, and their expertly curated picks are as robust and well-vetted as it gets. From organic to biodynamic to vegan to “glou-glou” (French for, er, very gluggable), their selections ensure you’re never compromising on taste or flavor when going the natural route.

    Start by selecting a varietal (red, white, or mixed), and then narrow things down by quantity and frequency. Tiers cost $85 for 3 bottles monthly, and go up to $285 for 12 bottles a month.

    Want to amp things up with a tapas feel? Their site also offers high-grade tinned fish and seafood from Portugal and Spain, making for a chic European pairing experience.
