Best Wine Delivery Services

Think of Winc as the Netflix of wine. Receive bottles, rate them, and the algorithm-based service will customize future shipments to your taste. When you first sign up for Winc, you’ll complete a wine palate quiz and your first subscription box will reflect your answers. Do you like cherries? Expect fruit-forward wines. Coffee? Your wines will likely be oak aged. The more bottles you rate, the closer Winc will get to nailing your preferences for your next box. 

Winc has produced over 664 wines since the club’s inception. Bottles start at $13 each, and four bottles arrive at your door each month. If you need to skip a month, change your shipment frequencies, or cancel your subscription, the service offers plenty of flexibility.

• Starts at $13 per bottle
• First subscription box: $29.95
• Subsequent boxes: $59.95
• Free shipping

Much of Wine Insider’s ethos is restocking your cellar, as each subscription box delivers 12 new bottles of high-quality, low-price wine. When you sign up for the service, you can select between reds, whites, or a mix of both. Expect great wines from classic regions, including South African cabernet, red Bordeaux, and Chilean chardonnay. And, as a welcome gift, Wine Insiders adds three bonus bottles of 2020 Château La Barotte Bordeaux Rouge to your first shipment.

In addition to the wines, each shipment includes tasting notes for every bottle, plus flavor profiles, serving tips, pairings, and a look at varietals, producers, and regions. Shipping and handling are included in each delivery, and it's no big deal if you need to postpone a subscription. Looking to revisit a bottle? Wine Insiders has a full bottle shop for restocking your cellar.

• Introductory shipment (15 wines): $89
• Subsequent shipments (12 wines): $155

Consider Drizly the Uber Eats of the booze world. Scroll through the website, browse the selection, fill up your cart, and a driver will send it your way in as little as an hour, depending on your area. Drizly works with local alcohol retailers to build their selection and bring you bottles of wine, spirits, beer, canned seltzers, and more. The only additional fees that Drizly adds are a service fee, delivery fee, and a driver tip on top of the price of the bottle.

Drizly offers a wide selection of wines, so you can browse through bottles of sparkling, white, red, and rosé. Users can rate and review each bottle so you can crowdsource your next new bottle.

• Prices range depending on product

SommSelect puts a team of sommeliers in the driver's seat of its wine selection, letting them pick bottles that they’re most excited about. That comes to life in a well-stocked bottle shop as well as a monthly subscription service.

Bottle prices range anywhere from $20 to $2,500, depending on if you're looking for everyday wines or rare gems. Think silky aglianicos from Giornata out of Paso Robles, grower Champagnes, and grand cru Burgundy. SommSelect’s monthly wine clubs let you explore four or six bottles a month, based on the sommelier’s selections. You can also opt for “The Blind 6,” which comes with six bottles concealed in black paper for a blind tasting.

• Explore 4 Club: $99 per month
• The Somm 6 Club: $199 per month
• The Somm 6 Reds Club: $220 per month
• The Blind 6 Club: $220 per month

When it comes to purchasing wines online, there are few better places than Wine.com. The massive wine warehouse offers the most extensive selection of bottles from a full globe of regions. Browse through thousands of wines, from everyday drinkers to hidden treats. Burgundy chardonnay, Alsatian riesling, skin-contact Georgian wines, and California bubbles are all accounted for—and much more. 

If you’d prefer to leave it in a professional’s hands, Wine.com also has a wine club with curation run by real sommeliers. Upon sign-up, complete an online wine personality quiz to narrow down your favorite styles and regions. From there, the sommelier team will put together a crate of six different wines and send it off to your doorstep. Keep rating the bottles and your next crate will get even more personalized.

Hear us out: Boxed wine doesn’t need the negative connotations you may be used to. Take Boxt, for example. This fine wine brand skips the bottles and the storefront and directly packages its wine in a wooden box, so you can sip high-quality wine in a larger format. Boxt wines are surprisingly ideal in a number of circumstances. Having a party? Set out a box to keep your guests satisfied all night. Need a house wine? Boxt will stay fresh for up to six weeks once opened. 

While boxed wine is the company’s only format, its wines come in a wide spectrum of styles. Instead of varieties, Boxt focuses on vibes. Whites include “bright, clean, crisp, and dry” and “rich, buttery, and golden.” Reds range from “ruby, vibrant, soft, and dry” to “big, bold, smooth, and luxurious.”

• $74 per box (equal to 4 bottles)

The Sip was founded by two best friends, Erica Davis and Catherine Carter, who loved Champagne but were turned off by the high price point and the lack of education in the category. So, they set out to start a subscription service that hits both of those points, offering smaller-format bottles of high-end bubbles so subscribers can educate their palates and try new things.

The Sip’s service offers two different options: get a surprise subscription delivered at a frequency of your choice, or just shop from The Sip’s selection of bottles. The stock ranges from the big name bottles (like Veuve and Moët) to smaller producers, like B. Stuyvesant Demi-Sec Champagne. Either option offers free shipping and the option to reorder or cancel at any time.

• Annual subscription: $54.95 per box
• Bimonthly subscription: $59.95 per box

Gold Medal Wine Club has spent the last 30 years scouting out bottles you wouldn’t normally find in your standard bottle shop. Often, they’re from family-owned vineyards from around the country—artisanal producers with a unique story to tell. Gold Medal offers six different clubs that focus on different styles and price points, including cellar-selected red wines, all pinot noirs, or garagiste-style bottles produced in small batches. If you prefer to sip from out-of-country, consider the international club. 

The best part of this subscription? It’s super customizable. Once you choose your club, pick from two to six bottles and whether you’d like all reds, all whites, or a blend. You can also choose how far in advance you want to prepay and how frequently you’d like your boxes to arrive.

• Gold Club: $47.90 per box
• Pinot Noir Club: $88.90 per box
• International Club: $89.85 per box
• Garagiste Club: $74.90 per box
• Platinum Club: $115.90 per box
• Diamond Club: $219.90 per box

Stompy’s subscription process starts with a taste onboarding: Do you love red or white wines? Are you open to orange wines? How do you feel about natural wine? Do you prefer your wines charming and perfumed or more energetic and refreshing? You can also set box preferences if you prefer organic, vegan, natural, or “any” way wine. Expect bottles from beloved sustainable producers worth knowing, like Arnot-Roberts from California, Keltis, Clos Cibonne, and Broc Cellars. All wines are sustainably and thoughtfully made and elegant in style.

There are two different price tiers, either $23.99 a bottle or $34.99 per bottle. Shipping is free on six bottles or more, and Stompy works with Cloverly to offset the carbon produced from shipping. (And did we mention all wines are shipped the next business day?)

• “$” Tier: $23.99 a bottle
• “$$” Tier: $34.99 a bottle

Wine Access curates a full spectrum of wine subscription options for every kind of drinker.

Standouts include the Michelin Prestige Wine Subscription ($160 to $200 a box) that brings in bottles from Michelin-starred restaurants. When the holidays come around, the Champagne club is a great gift idea for out-of-state friends and family. 

Beyond subscriptions, a bottle shop of rare and exclusive allocations showcases hallmark producers. Or shop through wines featured on notable wine podcasts or in Decanter magazine. All boxes are shipped in climate-control vehicles.
