Our monthly, half bottle subscription cases offer an easy way to taste, drink and enjoy delicious wines from awesome, authentic producers, all chosen by our founder, Vicki, after over twenty years in the wine industry as a wine buyer. The half bottles are 375ml in volume, and pour 2-3 glasses, or 4 ample tasting glasses. They are an affordable way of trying fine wines, typical of the region/grape/style, but they are also great for food-matching a course or two at dinner!
Our subscription cases are also how you join our Wine Club (all new subscribers receive a free corkscrew too!). Some wines are shipped to order and are not available elsewhere in the UK in half bottle. And, there’s a tasting with Vicki and one of our winemakers, for our monthly club (via the Fine Wine Focus subscription).
In addition, the Club and cases offer:
No Join-Up Fee and no commitment
You join by subscribing to one of our monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly mixed cases. No problem if you’d like to skip a month or two too. It’s a rolling subscription, so you aren’t tied into a specified period. While we think you’ll want to stay, you can cancel anytime without penalty.
Flexibility
The club is flexible, so if you’d like to move from monthly to bi-monthly, the classic whites or reds up to the fine wine focus or vice versa, that’s all good, plus you can skip or cancel your subscription at any point, change the delivery date or address or payment method. We email you several days in advance before the next payment is due so you have time to change any details you wish. We also tell you the wines that we include in the case in advance, so you know exactly what to expect.
Cancel at the click of a button
While our subscribers tend to stay with us for a long while, we have made it as easy as possible to skip or cancel your subscription, for any reason at all. Just head to your account, then, in the My Subscription section, click the ‘Cancel’ button and voila! There is no need to call us, speak to a Sales team nor send an email. We’ll always give you prior notice for your next case, so there’s a prompt if you are thinking of making a change.
A Saving on Wines & Next Working Day Delivery Included In Your Subscription
There is usually a saving of between 5 and 15% on the wines, compared to buying them via our website/the general market. And, there is no additional delivery charge on top of the subscription price quoted. While we do have to cover cardboard packaging and delivery costs within our business (sadly it’s not free from our logistics network!), we subsidise delivery cost so that subscription pack price is cheaper than it would be to buy the wines and delivery on a one-off basis. Something that we are happy to do to reward our loyal subscribers! It’s therefore great value to purchase this way, and you can add any other wines from our website to your delivery too, at no extra cost (see below).
(*Please note that delivery to the Scottish Highlands: incurs an extra £5.95 per subscription case, but other wines may be added to the subscription case at no further cost to you. Named-day service to this area in Scotland is not available. Delivery is within 3-5 days)
Add Other Wines & Gift Packs Too At No Delivery Cost
We know that, if you are entertaining, our half bottles are sometimes not enough! So, we have a selection of full bottles, magnums and even some Jeroboams available via the website, here. There are also Roses, dessert wines, Champagnes and Sparkling wines to browse if you fancy a little extra treat alongside your regular subscription. We’ll send you the free delivery code for extra wines to enter at checkout, when we send you details of your next subscription case to approve. Just order them by midday, the working day before your subscription is due to be delivered, and we will send all the wines together, at no delivery cost.
Bespoke Wine & Service That You Love
When you find a wine from your monthly subscription case that you think you’d like to buy more of, in halves, standard 75cls (or even magnums where available), email us at [email protected] and we’ll respond with your own bespoke quote, and add the wine to your next subscription delivery if you’d like*. As long as this wine is delivered on the same day as your subscription delivery, there’s no extra delivery charge to you.
We are a small company and pride ourselves on a high level of customer service. We don’t use AI to handle service enquiries. Just email [email protected] with any queries, or reply to the team when you receive your subscription renewal notification.
(*Fine wines are, due to the unpredictability of nature, limited in quantity. If for any reason a wine or specific vintage has sold through by the time you’d like your bespoke order, we’ll personally advise on the next vintage or most similar wine. Due to purchasing restrictions, it may be that it’s necessary to purchase a case of wine rather than individual 75cl or magnums, but we will advise at the time)
Tasting Notes, Drinkdates, Region Guide & Food Matches
Tasting notes are provided giving you the opportunity to know more about the wine in question, the producer, know more about the region if you are interested, as well as record your thoughts about the wine and your own personal score. A guide to the grape included and food matches are also given, and a map to show where you wines are from.
Drop us an email at [email protected] if you have any more questions, otherwise, we hope to welcome you on board very soon!
