Wine of the Month Clubs
From LoveToKnow Wine
What's a Wine of the Month Club?
Whether you're interested in receiving the "book of the month" or the "bacon of the month", "________ of the month" clubs operate on the premise that they will send you a new example of their product every month. So naturally, a wine of the month club will send participants one or two bottles of wine every month.
Some clubs focus on international wines, while others offer the wines of a particular state or region. Depending on the club, you may be able to select reds, whites, or a mix of the two.
Average prices range from $20-$40 for two bottles per month. You can sign up for an entire year of shipments or 3-,4-, or 6-month memberships are available from some clubs.
Many clubs include a newsletter with each shipment to help you learn more about the wines and wine in general. For those just becoming familiar with wines and wine terminology, this can be a nice membership bonus, and even seasoned wine drinkers can learn a few new things.
Wine Club Membership as a Gift
It's clichéd but it's true - a membership in a wine of the month club is the gift that keeps on giving. Clubs spread out the fun of receiving a gift for the recipients while also being a steady reminder that someone is thinking of them. If you're a wine aficionado, clubs are a great way to share your love of wine with less-informed friends and family members. If you're the clueless wine drinker buying for the aficionado, you can rest easy knowing that professionals are making your selections. Memberships in wine of the month clubs make great corporate and business gifts.
Do make sure that you're not giving a monthly gift of wine to someone who doesn't drink alcohol for religious, personal or health reasons.
Wine of the Month for Yourself
Who says you have to share the wealth? Ordering yourself a membership in a wine of the month club can be a great way to expand your wine repertoire. Whether you're looking for a little variety in your wine drinking, or you need some outside motivation to move outside your comfort zone, a steady shipment of new wine may be just what you're looking for.
