Shopping for wine lovers during the holidays can be daunting (there’s only so many wine glasses and wine openers one can own), but thankfully, this is where wine subscription boxes come in. A wine subscription is one of the best holiday gifts out there for wine enthusiasts. Whether they dream of becoming a wine connoisseur, or just want to keep their wine fridge well-stocked, they will appreciate a wine subscription gift that delivers high-quality vino right to their doorstep.
The best wine subscription services make it easy to sample new varietals each month from around the world—with flexible, hassle-free shipments that can be easily customized. Plus, if you’re struggling to find a great holiday gift for the person who has everything, a gift card to a subscription service is a thoughtful choice (and one that will arrive in time, even if you order at the last minute).
As with most subscription boxes, sign-up usually starts with a quick survey to determine their taste and delivery preferences, and from there your giftee can either choose à la carte, or arrange to have the in-house wine experts curate and select bottles based on their taste profile. With so many food gift options out there, we’ve handpicked a list of some of the best wine subscription boxes available now—from popular wine of the month club options like Firstleaf and Winc to small-batch wine services like Usual Wines—that help avoid an extra trip to the store this holiday season.
