Best Alcohol Delivery Services

Consider Drizly the Uber of alcohol delivery apps. Thanks to a collaboration with an extensive network of local bottle shops, it has a wide selection of everything from natural wines to craft beer to high-end liquors. You can expect products from Forthave to Grey Goose, Campari, and beyond.

To start, enter your address and shop through the selection of wine, beer, liquors, and ready-to-drink beverages available for delivery at your location. Place your order via Drizly through a local store, and the platform will provide updates in real-time. You can schedule an order for now or later. While you cannot purchase via cash (the app takes credit and debit only), you can tip in cash if needed. 

If you’re in a metropolitan area, you can likely have a bottle in your hand in just over an hour. Because they source from a range of bottle shops, delivery time will vary from product to product, so check accordingly when ordering. (And, if you’re in a more remote location, it may take a few days to reach you.)

• Minimum $20 purchase on all orders
• In most markets, Drizly charges a $5 delivery fee and $1.99 service fee.

For the brew nerds, The Original Craft Beer Club offers up small-batch, off-the-beaten-path beers from some of the country’s best craft producers. The company has spent close to a decade building connections with fascinating producers from around the country. Each box spotlights two different breweries from the U.S. and two different beers from each producer. Two issues of the club’s mini publication, Micro Brew News, 

The memberships are two tiered and non committal: Sign up for two months, 12 months, or play it month by month. You can request to exclude specific beer styles, but for the most part, each month’s selection is a surprise.

The one downside is that since the service sources niche bottles, if you fall in love with a beer, chances are you’ll have a hard time tracking it down. 

• $46.76 a month for 12 bottles (4 styles, 3 of each)
• $93.50 a month for 24 bottles (4 styles, 6 of each)

Winc is a technology-driven wine club that uses AI to pair your palate with wines it thinks you’ll enjoy. Before you place your first order, you’ll take a quiz to determine what you prefer. (e.g., How do you like your coffee? What perfume do you prefer?) From there, Winc will match you to bottles of wine. As your shipments progress, you can rate the selections and Winc’s AI technology will continue to hone in on what you like. If you don’t like a bottle, Winc offers guaranteed refunds. 

Winc’s basic membership offers four bottles per month, with options to cancel or skip months. If you like a bottle, wines are available for purchase on Winc’s website, as are a wide range of other bottles, including sake, bagged wines, and Winc-exclusive bottles.

• $39.99 for three bottles per month, plus $9 shipping
• $52 for four bottles per month, with free shipping
• By-the-bottle prices start at $13 a bottle

No matter if it’s a birthday or a weeknight Netflix binge, there’s always an occasion for bubbles. Cue We Drink Bubbles, a Champagne-centric wine club that sends monthly shipments of allocated sparkling wines for $100. It’s the club arm of a notable Champagne importer, so you can expect them to highlight hard-to-find bottles. Each box includes three different bottles, with a keen focus on estate-grown, small producer wines. 

Bottles will range from highly-effervescent, precise Champagnes and silky Cremants to jolly bottles of Cava and Sekt. Past producers include Vincent Renoir, Michel Laval, and Loriot-Pagel from Champagne, to electric, new-world blanc de blanc. Bottles are accompanied by tasting notes, pairing tips, and other information to build out your bubbly knowledge.

Add on additional treats to your shipment, like member-exclusive Champagnes and sabering swords.

• $100 per month for three bottles

Naked Wines offers the hallmark of a standard wine club: a selection of wines delivered right to your door. But that’s where the similarities end. Each month you pay a membership fee (the company calls members “angels”) to access Naked Wines’ selection of bottles. The company works directly with producers to cut out middle-man pricing, including retail costs, distributor costs, and the like. Additionally, the membership fee largely goes to supporting the independent winemakers. 

If you’re not keen on your wines, it’s easy to pause your membership. Plus, like Winc, the company offers refunds on bottles you don’t enjoy (which covers cork taint or other faults). Each shipment is moderately curated to taste preferences. 

• Cases of 12 ship at your leisure, or you can select on a bottle-by-bottle basis
• Minimum order of six bottles, with case sizes increasing in increments of three

Haus offers a rotating array of light-alcohol aperitifs, ideal for sipping on the rocks, mixing in a cocktail, or toning down your drinking.

What is a low-ABV aperitif? It’s a lower-octane spirit made with Chardonnay and California brandy flavored with a rotating range of natural ingredients, like California-grown Makrut lime leaves, Chardonnay grapes from Grist Vineyard in Sonoma County, and Oolong tea from Fujian, China.

A membership allows you to opt for one, two, or six bottles per month. Each subscription is completely customizable based on your mood or the season. For example, try spiced cherry in the winter and a summer citrus flower in the summer months.

• Options to purchase one, two, or six bottles 
• Sign up for recurring memberships to receive further bottle discounts

Tavour is an app that offers subscriptions and by-the-bottle purchasing from independent craft breweries. Download the app and build a custom box of beers, or let the Tavour team put together a subscription box based on the highest-rated beers of the moment.

Two new beers drop every day, so selections rotate constantly. Plus, you can swing back and pick up your favorites. The app has a particularly well-built-out selection of IPAs, stouts, and fruited sours.

• No minimum order for customized cases. All orders have a flat shipping fee of $14.90.
• On the subscription side, choose from six or 12 beers every month, two months, or three months. 
• $55 per month to $133 for 3 months

If you spent the past year sharpening up your cocktail skills, Cocktail Courier’s kits will help expand your knowledge of drinks. There are two different options for subscriptions. First, there’s a classic kit that includes everything you need to make a drink, including a 375 ml bottle of spirits, fresh juice, and creative garnishes. If you have a well-stocked bar cart, try the more affordable “Just the Mix” option, which includes everything but the spirits. Each kit includes the supplies to make six to eight cocktails, plus step-by-step instructions. 

Start by filling out your profile with your spirits of preference, and Cocktail Courier will pair you with recipes from top bartenders. Opt for the subscription, or shop from a la carte suggestions, like a huckleberry Old Fashioned or a hazelnut espresso martini.

• Just the mix: $29.99 per month 
• Spirits included: $49.99 per month 
• Non-committal, shoppable kits

There’s a club for everything these days, including boxed wine. This Austin-based, female-run wine business makes seven different iterations of their boxed wines: three whites, three reds, and a breezy summer rose. 

Instead of listing off varietals, Boxt categorizes each wine by their tasting notes: Do you want a “bright, crisp, dry” white or something “rich, oaky, and golden?” A “sweet, juicy, velvety” red, or one that’s “soft, vibrant, and dynamic?”

Each box holds four bottles of wine, and stays fresh for six weeks. 

• $74 per month for one box
• $140 per month for two or more boxes
