subject: Wine Clubs: Variety, Affordability And Convenience [print this page] You don't have to be a swanky socialite to belong to a wine club. More and more in recent years we are seeing a staggering growth in wine club membership. This is due in part to a heightened awareness of wine's health benefits. There are many pluses associated with a membership, for instance, receiving a 'wine of the month'.
Many clubs send you a complimentary bottle of wine each month. A lot of these wines are new entries and come with detailed descriptions of their origins and the processes involved in its aging and even the awards that it has received thus far. The perks don't stop there, as a member, you are sent recipe books, wine catalogues, newsletters and party invites; the list goes on.
These advantages are based on the status of your club membership. For instance, if you are a premium club member, you are granted far greater discounts when it comes to purchasing a bottle of wine through your club's catalogue. Health benefits are myriad with drinking a glass of wine a day. Studies have found that a healthy intake of wine i.e. 1 or 2 glasses a day with meals does help regulate a healthy blood flow.
When choosing a club, you should bear a few things in mind. First and foremost, are you getting the most for your money from the wine club of your choice? Look closely at the packages they offer and compare them with other club's offerings. Things like guided vineyard tours or wine tasting parties and even wine of the month considerations. If club A send you one bottle of wine a month, but club B sends you 2, if you favor more wine then maybe you should go with a club B setup. Find out whether or not they have credentialed experts working for them. These experts make wine recommendations that go a long way. Also, international offerings are a big thing if you want to sample wines that come from different wine growing regions of the world.
Lastly, if you drink wine, be it on occasion or on a more regular basis; opting for a wine club membership is a sensible move because of the many advantages associated with doing so. Enjoy the convenience of having the finest wines in the world delivered right to your door. There are many factors to consider when making the right decision for you. Choose wisely and enjoy.
