If a populated bar cart and an at-capacity wine rack is your definition of a well-stocked kitchen, consider choosing from one of the best wine club delivery services. Across the growing landscape of offerings, there are some tailored to those who are knowledgeable vino drinkers, while others aim to teach the customer about the region and the best types of food to pair with your wine—and all are ready to be delivered to your doorstep.
For the holiday season, Wine Access is partnering with Michelin-starred Per Se and their head sommelier Michael Couvreaux to offer an exclusive wine selection to subscribers from Northern Rhône to Montalcino. The delivery will include culinary pairings curated by Chef de Cuisine Chad Palagi—it all makes for an aromatic and palatable experience.
For the summer, our favorite is Una Lou Rosé’s season pass, which provides monthly deliveries of the pink drink from February to October—but year-round, other options abound. Companies such as Firstleaf, Winc Wine Club, and Bright Cellars let subscribers rate their wine and in turn, match each person with bottles their experts recommend. Wine Awesomeness brings their members the stories behind their bottles, paired with a vocabulary lesson (you’ll sound like a pro in no time). Vinebox is for those who want a taste before committing to a full bottle: nine vials are delivered to your door every quarter, along with credit to use towards the bottle you loved the most.
If spirits are more your speed, you might take an interest in the fine (and hard-to-find) offerings of Flaviar, which delivers three different tasting spirits, along with a complimentary full-size bottle each quarter, as part of your subscription. Mash and Grape puts the best of what craft and micro-distillers have to offer at your fingertips by delivering three full-size spirits, in the category of your choice, to your door each month. Haus offers a monthly subscription to its fresh, locally-sourced apéritifs made in Sonoma County, California, while Craft Beer of the Month Club brings the microbrewery tour experience to your own living room.
There’s a company for everyone, no matter what you’re looking for—below, find 21 of the best wine club delivery services and spirit subscriptions to try this year.
Nomadica
If you’re someone who enjoys sommelier-quality wine outside a Michelin-starred restaurant, consider Nomadica. Founder and sommelier, Kristin Olszewski is looking to disrupt how we experience viticulture, anywhere we are, via canned wine. Easily pack them with you on road trips, picnics, or simply to enjoy at home when all you want is a couple of glasses versus a full bottle. Sustainability is at the center of Nomadica’s ethos; all of the wines are responsibly sourced from vineyards with sustainable farming practices. The blends are also vegan, low sulfur, and fermented dry.
If you’re still shopping for the holidays, they’d make a great hostess gift too. Each can is artfully designed by artists around the globe who have created compelling illustrations that help personify each wine’s flavor profile. Join Nomadica’s wine club starting at $57 for 12 cans shipped monthly. And in case you always wanted to have a sommelier on call, bonus membership perks include a direct line to Olszewski herself; text any questions about your wine, what to pair it with, and more.
