If
you answered yes to any of the above questions, then wine
of the month clubs are definitely worth considering. The
absolute first thing you need to consider when choosing
from the many wine clubs available is making sure that the
laws in your state allow alcohol to be shipped to your address.
***
As of the time of this writing, most states allow this,
but some do not. You can find this information from the
various wine clubs you would like to join. You can also
go to Wine.com
and put in the state and zip code and it should tell you.
Also keep in mind that an adult over 21 years of age must
sign for the package.
Tip:
Since an adult usually has to sign for the package, you
may want it shipped to your business or where you work.
The
next thing you want to do is to decide what you would like
the wine club to accomplish. Are you trying to learn more
about the different types of wines? If so, pick a club that
has accompanying information about the wines in each delivery.
Many will include a suggestion of food pairings for the
specific wine of the month.
If you are looking for an economical way to build
a start-up cellar, make sure the club is tailored
for that purpose because not all wines improve with age.
Many wine of the month clubs are geared toward wines meant
to be consumed young.
There
are multiple packages available at various price ranges.
No matter what your budget or wine interests happen to be,
you should be able to find a club that suits your needs.
Caution:
I recommend starting out with the more established and reputable
wine clubs because there is a real opportunity for some
to take advantage of unknowing wine novices. In addition
to this, the larger clubs can offer better deals because
they can buy wine in bulk. All of the recommended clubs
below should exceed your expectations.
