Wine subscription boxes are popping up all over the place, making it easier than ever to have wine delivered straight to your door. If you’re new to this game, you might wonder what wine delivery boxes even are and how they work, so let’s dive in! First, we’ll talk about what these boxes are and how they work and then we’ll look at some of the most popular wine subscription boxes currently on the market!
How Does it Work?
The wine delivery box works by having you select what kind of wine you want to drink. Once that’s done, it’s shipped to your doorstep at whatever frequency (or just once) that you request. From there, you pour yourself a glass and enjoy! It’s as simple as that. You can also send some bottles back for credit if you don’t like them, which helps make sure that you never get stuck with something that isn’t up to par with your tastes. What’s more, these services usually have apps that help you track what wines are coming in so that you know when they arrive. It’s quite convenient! If you have any questions about how it all works, or anything else about wine delivery boxes in general, please let us know.
Why Choose Wine Subscription?
If you’re looking for convenience, then wine delivery boxes are a great way to get bottles shipped straight to your door without having to commit to an entire case. Some subscription services let you choose between red or white wines based on your preference, while others send you both as part of their six-bottle monthly deliveries. This allows wine drinkers to always have access to either type and not feel tied down to just one. Subscription services generally work with small wineries that may not have many retail options for consumers. Because they don’t need to worry about shipping costs or shelf space at retailers, these companies can offer high-quality wines at affordable prices. Most also include tasting notes so you know what to expect from each bottle before you open it.
How to Choose the Right Wine Subscription Service
Finding an honest, reliable wine subscription service can be a bit of a challenge. There are so many of them out there with different perks and rates that finding one that fits your needs perfectly can be difficult. It’s important to look at not only price but variety and quality as well. Some services offer great prices on cheap wines while others focus on providing high-quality wines for a higher cost. This guide will help you find a wine delivery box that works for you!
Single Bottle VS Multiple Bottles
By far, one of the most common questions we get asked about wine delivery boxes are: What’s better – single bottles or multiple bottles? The answer is somewhat situational. For example, if you know you’re going to be throwing a party or hosting an event in about two weeks and want to surprise your guests with different wines for each day leading up to it, ordering multiple boxes would be a good idea. If you like to plan ahead but don’t have any special events coming up, getting several singles might be more cost-effective. If you prefer variety but aren’t sure how much wine you will consume over time, consider splitting your order between singles and multiples!
Pros and Cons of Wine Subscription Boxes
Wine subscription boxes are basically like any other subscription box service: You sign up to get wine (or anything else, but in our case we’re talking about wine) delivered regularly to your home or office. The way it works is that you pick out what kind of wines you want to receive, which type of box plan you prefer (monthly, quarterly, bi-annually), and then sit back and relax as your favourite vino makes its way to your doorstep. Some services offer more customization than others, so make sure to check before signing up. Some will even let you choose how many bottles you want each month or quarter!
Wine Tasting Party at Home!
Hosting a wine tasting party can be simple and delicious. You only need to get your guests in one room and have some wine, cheese, crackers, appetizers and of course fun music. Once you have all of these elements together you are ready to party. One of my favourite things about hosting a wine tasting party at home is that there is no pressure to make it perfect. If something goes wrong or doesn’t turn out right, who cares! It’s not like anyone will ever know but you. And if everything does go perfectly, then what an awesome night that was! I really enjoy having friends over for wine tastings because they tend to be more laid back than dinner parties or cocktail parties.
Choosing The Best Wine
When buying wine, it’s important to consider what kind of wine you want. Do you want red, white or both? Perhaps you have a theme in mind (Italian wines with dinner on Saturday night, German beers for Sunday football). If so, do some research and find out which wines pair best with your food. Also take into account how much wine you think you’ll drink over time—you don’t want to waste money on something that won’t get used up. For example, if you know you like a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon but only want to buy one bottle at a time, go ahead and spend more on it; however, if you know you like inexpensive Pinot Grigio but will be drinking four bottles every week, it might be better to purchase something cheaper.
Say No To Bad Wine Days
Do you have friends or family who drink wine and really only like one or two types of wines? Then you know what I’m talking about when I say, wine drinkers. Wine drinkers will generally buy 1-2 types of wine and drink those for most social occasions. It gets boring. Even if they try other wines, it takes them awhile to warm up to a new variety and then that wine is likely not something they would pick up on their own. This is where a wine delivery box comes in handy! With these boxes, you can choose between reds, whites, or mixed varieties and they come with 4-5 bottles each month. The great thing about these boxes is that there are many different price points so everyone can find something within their budget! You also get to try wines from all over the world (and even stateside) so there are no bad days when it comes to drinking wine!
