  • Unexpected Perks of Wine Clubs

Wine clubs are typically subscription services that wine lovers can sign up to and receive monthly or quarterly shipments of wines.

Not only are they convenient – delivering wines directly to your door, saving you a trip to the supermarket – but they can also give you exclusive access to wines unavailable elsewhere at members-only prices. 

Discover our top 10 wine club perks below, and learn more about what makes the Laithwaites Wine Club unique.

1. Convenience

Joining a wine club means you get regular wine deliveries straight to your door. All you need to do is choose your wine styles and place your order. Our expertly selected wines will then be conveniently delivered to your door.

2. Access to exclusive wines

Being a wine club member can give you access to small-batch, rare and limited-edition wines unavailable in your local supermarket or independent wine shop.

3. Experts help select your wine

You don’t have to be a wine expert to enjoy wine club membership. A wine club is a brilliant way to learn more about wine. Wines are often chosen by wine experts who share their knowledge of wine styles, regions and food pairings with wine club members.

Our wine experts at Laithwaites select wines from around the world to create curated cases perfect for any wine adventure. We also have Personal Wine Advisors available to help you choose the right occasion for enjoying your wines and answer all your wine-related questions.

4. Discover new wines

If you know what you love but are keen to broaden your wine horizons, then a wine club membership can help you do just that. Whether it’s a new grape or an under-the-radar region, you’ll be able to enjoy different wines with the confidence of knowing they’ve been picked by wine pros.

5. Wine clubs offer tasting notes

Wine clubs often offer their members tasting notes to increase their wine knowledge and get the maximum from their latest wine delivery. At Laithwaites, we offer Beyond the Label virtual tasting notes, bringing the story behind the wine to life. Log into your account and head to Beyond the Label, where you’ll find inspiring stories and helpful details about each wine in your case.

6. Improve your wine knowledge

Becoming a wine club member can help develop your knowledge and understanding of wine. With tasting notes, expert advice and the opportunity to try different wine styles and varieties, your confidence in choosing wine will naturally improve.

7. Gain food-pairing advice

Many wine clubs provide valuable pointers on pairing your delivered wines with specific dishes. They may even offer recipes that complement particular wine varieties. Whether you’re planning a dinner party or enjoying a simple night in with a takeaway, these valuable tips can help you match the perfect wine for your menu.

8. Members-only savings

Wine clubs cut out the middle-man and give you a relationship directly with passionate winemakers around the world. These small-scale family wineries often rely on regular payments as they don’t produce the volume needed for supermarkets. The best bit? These close relationships mean winemakers can pass on their best prices – saving members money on every bottle.

9. Earn rewards and loyalty points 

Some wine clubs allow you to accumulate points or credits whenever you purchase additional wine or renew your membership. The more points you collect, the more benefits you’ll likely receive. This could be anything from free bottles of wine, discounts on cases or VIP membership opportunities, such as the chance to visit a wine tasting and sample new wines.

10. 100% satisfaction guarantee – or your money back

Joining a wine club can help broaden your wine horizons, but there is a risk that you won’t like the wine you’ve been sent. Many wine clubs offer members a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will refund wines not to your taste. This means you can take a chance and try something new without being out of pocket.

Here at Laithwaites, we’re confident you’ll enjoy every bottle that comes your way. But if you don’t like a bottle for any reason, you don’t pay. No questions asked… simple as that.


Vineyard Partners: A wine membership with a difference

Laithwaites’ Vineyard Partners isn’t a club, it’s a partnership. It connects customers with winemakers, allowing you to support their winemaking efforts and share in the life of our fantastic partner vineyards. There’s so much more to explore with Vineyard Partners.

You’ll get exclusive, guaranteed access to small-batch, handcrafted wines as well as annual savings of up to 33%. There are exclusive wine events and tours to explore – and you can even stay at some of our partner vineyards.
