Eater Wine Club Reviews

Convenience of Delivery: Receive premium wines at home without needing to visit specialty stores.

Discovery of New Wines and Trends: Access to expert-curated selections introduces subscribers to exciting new wines they might not find otherwise.

Enhanced Wine Knowledge: Educational materials from sommeliers deepen understanding and appreciation of wine.

Connection with Food Culture: The club reflects Eater’s passion for restaurants and food culture by pairing wines that complement dining experiences.

Customization Flexibility: Choice among different bottle quantities allows tailoring subscriptions based on personal consumption preferences.

Unique, Discovery-Oriented Selection: The club offers a style- and grape-agnostic wine subscription focused on adventurous drinkers who want to explore unique wine styles, grapes, and regions beyond traditional offerings. It emphasizes learning about wine rather than just drinking it.

Expert Curation: Each month features wines curated by a different industry expert or sommelier, providing themed selections that reflect current trends, regions, or seasonal vibes. This approach offers a fresh perspective with every shipment.

Community Experience: Membership includes access to exclusive wine parties and newsletters from the monthly curator with insider tips and stories behind the wines.

Focus on Organic/Natural Wines: While not exclusively natural or organic wines, the club often includes selections leaning toward organic or minimal intervention winemaking for those interested in these categories.

Free Shipping & Discount Offer: Shipments include free shipping. New subscribers can save 10% on their first order using promo code THIRSTY.

Limited Personalization: The only customization option is choosing between two subscription sizes (2 bottles for $70/month or 4 bottles for $110/month). Subscribers cannot select specific styles or preferences since the wines are pre-curated by experts.

No Retail Discounts on Wines: The wines included are not discounted compared to retail prices. Also, there are no discounts when ordering favorite bottles outside of shipments through MYSA (the managing company).

Price Point Is Higher Than Some Competitors: At $70-$110 per month depending on bottle count, this club is pricier than some other popular clubs like Wine of the Month Club or First Leaf Wine Club but aims to justify this with its unique curation experience.

Varied Enjoyment Expected: Because of its adventurous nature and focus on discovery over familiarity, subscribers should expect that they may not love every bottle received; it's more about expanding horizons than guaranteed favorites each time.
