What is the best wine club?

In short, this is probably the best wine club for a wine enthusiast who has the basics down and is ready to launch into expert wine tasting territory. Firstleaf's Classic Plan offers six tailored bottles of wine delivered per month for $90. The Preferred Plan offers a select (which means higher valued) six-bottle offering for $105 per month.

How will 2024 change the world of wine?

From going green to providing more equal opportunities, 2024 could see big changes in the world of wine. Another busy week as more Bordeaux wine merchants end up in court, while the UK government reveals binges during Covid. Wine labeling laws are already in use in the EU.

Which wine clubs use a quiz?

Winc and Firstleaf are great examples of quiz-based wine clubs that offer customizable breadth to consumers. However, Bright Cellars, which also uses a quiz to discern customers' likes and dislikes, did not make our list.
