How Much Does a Wine Club Gift Cost?

Wine clubs come in all price ranges, from under $50 for first shipments to $100+ per month for premium selections. Think about how you want to spend total on the gift and how many shipments you want them to receive. Also, consider introductory versus ongoing pricing if you are not paying for it all up front. Many clubs have low intro offers but higher regular shipments, so calculate your long-term spend.

What Are the Options for Wine Club Gifts?

There are so many different considerations when choosing a wine club gift! Here is a short list of the things that we consider to be the most important:

• Does the recipient like a specific type of wine? (red, white, sparkling, organic, etc)
• Are you more interested in the quality of the wine or the quantity of the bottles?
• Do you want to send one shipment or multiple shipments?
• Do you want “extras” like gift wrapping or a gift with purchase?
• Does the gift need to get there immediately or do you have time?
• Do you mind sending a gift certificate or a gift note for future shipment?

Vinebox is a unique wine tasting experience that offers a subscription providing 6 ultra-premium glasses of wine rather than full bottles. They also feature great one-time purchase wine gifts, like their Chocolate Pairing box.

What Is the Best Boxed Wine Gift?

Boxed wines have come a long way, and many customers actually prefer them now for their portability and ease of storage. Boxed wine clubs are rare but we have reviewed one that is a clear favorite.

Gratsi Wine (Price: $50)

Not only is Gratsi a premium boxed wine, but it is zero sugar. Each box is the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine. When you buy 2 boxes for $88, they will include 2 free Bacaro glasses in the shipment, making for an even better gift!

• Shipping coverage: Ships to most states (excludes AK, AR, DE, HI, MS, NJ, RI, SD, UT, WV)

What Is the Best Last Minute Wine Club Gift?

A lot of wine club gifts are sent at the last minute. Most people are buying them from 1 day to 1 month before they need them, which doesn’t leave a long time for shipping, especially when many of the clubs ship once a month. If you are shipping within a week of when you need the gift delivered, you may want to order one of the clubs that allows you to print or delivery a certificate with wine to be shipped later.

Any gift club certificates from Monthly Clubs can be printed OR emailed now or on a future date of your choosing. It tells them what they are getting, how long they are getting it for, and when it will start. And you can include a personalized note!
