14 Best Wine Subscription Services, Ranked

If you live in a big city, don't have a car, and you love wine, then you know the struggle of limiting your bottle purchases only to what you can lug to the nearest train station. And even those who do have access to easy transportation may find themselves lost when it comes to picking out a wine. Ever wish that you could just get wine delivered straight to your door? We all do, which is why we're huge fans of wine subscription services. These services ship wine to your home — and some of them even help you choose wine that will suit your palate.

But when it comes to choosing a wine subscription service, you have to make sure you pick carefully. Not all wine subscription services offer the same quality of wines, the same prices, or even the same services. Take a closer look at our ranking for wine subscription services so you can pick the one that works best for your wine rituals.

You already knew that Blue Apron delivered food, but did you know that you could get wine from them too? If you already have a Blue Apron subscription, it's super easy to add on the wine program, and we love that you can easily get great food and wine pairings without having to do any of the thinking yourself. However, that's where our love for Blue Apron ends.

At first glance, it seems like the $69.99 price tag doesn't seem too bad, especially when you consider you're getting six bottles of wine. Add in the fact that you don't have to pay any shipping and handling, and this seems like a viable option. But take a closer look, and you'll notice that instead of getting 750 ml bottles (the average size of a wine bottle), you're actually getting bottles that are only 500 ml each. Blue Apron says that this is the perfect size to share with two people, and we guess that may be true for some. But if you actually like wine enough to buy a subscription, it probably doesn't apply to you.

As for the wines themselves? They're okay, but you're not going to get anything too interesting in this box. In their review, Spy said, "Meh. I didn't find much to love or much to hate. Very humble, very methodical, very table."

If there's one opinion we'll always stand by, it's that Champagne (and really sparkling wine in general) has earned an unfair status as a drink only to be drunk during special occasions. Sparkling wine can be enjoyed any day of the week, even when nothing all that exciting is happening. Don't limit your drinking! And that's why we love the idea of fatcork, a Champagne subscription services that delivers bubbly straight to your front door four times a year in March, May, September, and November. They don't just deliver the bottles — you'll get plenty of info about each of the wines, so you can learn something new with each sip you take.

This one's ranking all comes down to taste. The service is great, and if you have some extra money to drop on wine, it's a solid option. But at $199 for three bottles, it's not going to be reasonable for most wine shoppers out there. But our opinion still stands: More bubbles are always a good thing.

Natural wine lovers may find themselves disappointed at a lot of the wine subscription services out there, but MYSA Natural Wine Club is here to save the day. You won't have to worry about getting boring wines with this bunch. If you already love natural wine, it's a great option, though there's a good chance you might come across something you've already had. It's a great choice for those who are just trying to get into natural wine or are getting into wine in general. Since you're getting stuff that's a little out of the ordinary, you'll get to see just how much variety there is in the wine world.

You can get shipments of three, six, or 12 bottles. Three bottles cost $84.95, six bottles cost $149.95, and 12 bottles will run you $274.95. We're going to guess that most individuals are going to go with the three-bottle shipment. That means every box comes out to around $28. Some may not want to pay that much, but it's around what you should expect to pay at a natural wine shop.

There are natural wine clubs we like more than this one, but it's still a fantastic option for those looking to expand their wine horizons.

Natural wine is super popular, but you may not be able to find it if you live outside a major metropolitan area. That's where services like Primal Wine Club come into play. This wine subscription will send you natural wines (wines low in additives like sulfites) right to your door, so you don't ever have to worry about trekking to a wine shop. And at $85 for three wines per shipment, you're looking at a pretty average cost per bottle. Choose from all reds, all whites, or a mixed box.

Primal Wine Club, like MYSA Natural Wine Club, is great for beginners to natural wine, though drinkers who have been into it for some time will find that many of the wines from this company are from bigger-name producers. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but you're probably not going to be finding the weirdest, wackiest small producers in a batch from this company.

We love a wine subscription service that keeps things simple, and that's exactly what you're going to get from Eater Wine Club. The publication Eater is already a trusted source for food and drink content, so you can feel fairly certain that they're going to deliver when it comes to their wine subscription. Go for two bottles a month, and you'll pay $70. Opt for four bottles a month, and the price is $110. If you really want to go all out, you can get six bottles for $150.

What we love most about this subscription is the fact that every box is curated by a different wine director, sommelier, or wine professional in a city that Eater covers. Therefore, you're not stuck with just one person's taste — you get to explore a wide variety of wines depending on who's doing the choosing. And if you choose to get several bottles at once, the price per bottle is modest compared to many other wine clubs out there.

Bright Cellars may not be for every wine drinker, but for those who are just starting to learn about wine, it's a great option. We love this option because, like Winc, it asks you a series of questions to determine what kinds of wines you'll be most likely to enjoy. This is helpful if you don't know a lot about different varieties of wine or you're trying to expand your horizons. Once you take the test, they'll sent you customized boxes of wine that should be suited to your liking. Not every wine service offers this kind of quiz, so we're appreciative that Bright Cellars is doing it right. And considering you're only going to pay $80 for four bottles, it's a better deal than a lot of the other subscription services on this list.

We're not alone. Insider said that Bright Cellars was "one of the best" wine subscription services out there. If you're looking for bottles that are out of the ordinary, this one may not be ideal for you. Otherwise, it's worth checking out.

Brooklyn restaurant Olmsted has been making waves in the New York culinary scene, and Zwann Grays plays no small part in that. Grays is the wine director there, and she's built a reputation for having fantastic taste. Luckily, you don't always have to go to the restaurant to sample that taste, because Zwann's Wine Club is an option. For $160, you'll get a selection of six of the interesting wines Grays' gets to taste on the regular. We love that you get to try so many wines with this service, and you always know you're going to get top-notch selections. And considering that it's even cheaper than many other natural-wine-leaning subscription services out there, it's no wonder that this one is our favorite.

Zwann's Wine Club does focus on New York City, so if you're in one of the boroughs or New Jersey, they can deliver for free. However, if you're farther away, you'll have to email them to figure out how to get the wines to your front door. But for us, that's an extra step worth taking.
