Whether you are spending your days tending to little humans or simply limiting your trips to the store, chances are you have investigated the many wine subscription services, alcohol delivery apps and online wine clubs out there. We gathered up a slew of our favorites with unique offerings like wine in a can (hooray!) and by-the-glass subscriptions. There’s even one that will send you everything you need for a virtual wine tasting and book you an expert to guide you on your wine journey via Zoom. Make it a mom’s night and open up your new favorite bottle!

 

McBride Sisters Wine Club

The McBride sisters were raised on different sides of the globe, and when they came together in California in 2005, their shared love of all things wine allowed them to create what is now the largest Black-owned wine business in the country. You can choose between bottles or cans and whether or not you want six bottles or twelve bottles in your shipment that arrives every six weeks. The wines are carefully selected just for you based on the time of year, but you are free to adjust your shipment to your liking as well.

Feeling like you want to be a little adventurous with your wine selections? Underground Cellar is a great option for you! This service connects you with premium wine you likely can't find at your local liquor store.

A $30 bottle of bubbles could be upgraded (for free) to a magnum of vintage champagne.

The service also allows the everyday wine consumer to become a bonified collector with CloudCellar, their unique storage feature that allows customers to virtually store up to 500 bottles of wine for free, making it easier than ever to build your own collection. Just request your shipment when you are ready to receive it. You'll get free shipping when you request 12 or more bottles at one time.
