Wine delivery: How to get wine shipped while you observe social distancing

Winc

For self-isolating wine drinkers and those who are trying to avoid a trip to the store, there are still ways to get wine to fill your glass.

You can sign up for a wine club, which is more economical if you regularly enjoy wine, or you can order it online. Winc, a wine club, has seen a 578 percent increase in new member sign-ups and a 49.6 percent increase in direct-to-consumer sales week-over-week, according to Forbes. It has gained 20,000 members in North America, showing that many people are trying to find new ways to procure wine during this stressful time.

Make sure to check that each wine delivery service delivers to your state.

1. Winc

Price: Varies. Bottles start at $13 and can go up to $50. Users get $20 off on their first order of four bottles.

When you sign-up for Winc, you take a quiz so Winc can classify your wine palate. Winc will give you its recommendations, and you can further refine your options from there. Winc is priced by-the-bottle, so you can decide how much you’re going to spend per bottle. The service also gives you the option of pausing it for a month at any time or canceling.

2. Firstleaf

Price: $90 for six bottles of wine ($15/bottle)

Firstleaf uses science and algorithms to make your orders more personal each month. After you take a quiz, Firstleaf takes your information and sends you a box of six wines it thinks you’ll enjoy. After you sample each wine (or finish the entire bottle), you’ll rate it on Firstleaf’s website. This step is particularly important, because these ratings will determine which bottles you’ll receive in your next order.

3. Cellars Wine Club

Price: Memberships start at $29/shipment

If you know exactly which wines you prefer, Cellars Wine Club is a great choice for you. The other clubs listed send a selection of whites and reds, but with Cellar Wine Club, you join one of their 12 different clubs. Cellars Wine Club lets you pick how often you want to receive wine with one-time, monthly and quarterly delivery options.

4. Wine.com

Wine.com is not a wine club but an online wine retailer. You can peruse the site to figure out what you’d like to order. Each wine has a rating and has been personally reviewed by the site’s wine experts, so you can feel confident that it’s good wine. It takes about 1-2 weeks to receive the wine you ordered. New customers can get $20 off their $100 wine orders.
