Customer service is not helpful, they are very dishonest and fraudulent. Please avoid!

Hidden fees. Difficult customer service. I implore you to never join this wine club. It is clear this business makes money by tricking its customers into paying for things they did not know about nor intend to pay. Customer service is difficult and seemingly outright dishonest based on my experience with them thus far (committed to refunding me as a "one-time exception", although I have still not received the refund that was promised nearly 2 weeks later). I joined as this was presented as a bonus miles offer through Alaska Airlines and I'm honestly pretty disappointed that Alaska would promote such a dishonest business. Even more horrified to subsequently learn about their connection to... Read More

This started out as a great wine club, but then we started getting wine that we didn't order. The first time it happened I thought is was my fault, then it happened 2 more times! Customer service said that I must have entered the order accidently. I quit opening emails and still got an unauthorized order. They told me to refuse the order but their delivery service leaves it on my porch without getting a signature. The last unauthorized case purchase was half a case. We'll see if they correct the problems but according to the reviews they are not very good at that. Stay away. The wine is good but there is something very wrong with the way they do business.

After the initial order of wines, the subsequent boxes were shipped. They increase the changes month to month without notifying you. Because they wanted to, they sent me 5 bottles instead of 2 bottles and charged me for it. Saying I can return but there is a $30 return for restocking. Don't sign up.

After the initial box of wines the subsequent boxes were shipped. When I saw my credit card statement I was shocked!! $161 for 6 bottles of mediocre wine!!??!! Apparently there's an extra $20 to ship to Texas. WTF??? So for approximately $28/bottle of not-so-good wine??? Nope!! Don't sign up!!!!

This wine club is the biggest rip off establishment of all time and should be closed down! After introductory offer of poor quality wine they charge me $150 for next shipment of 6 shitty wines. Called customer service to cancel and they confirmed. Still no email confirmation. Calling bank next to dispute charges.

9/12020: I Grabbed introductory offer from Acorns.com for $40+ called the American Cellars Wine club. While on the site (on a Saturday) I clicked the World of Wines club link to investigate and was IMMEDIATELY charged for joining the new club. I expected to be able to review and confirm before being charged. The total charge to my card was $164, I assumed it was for 12 bottles of wine (6 intro wines + 6 new club wines). 9/14/2020: I could not reach customer service (chat/email ONLY) until after the weekend and by then they said it was too late to cancel. No worries, they stopped any more auto shipping and gave me the option to refuse the shipments in order to get refund. I opted... Read More

Don't trust this wine club. I think it's a scam. You have to read the fine print. If you return an order for for $157.20-minus 50% restocking fee, plus minus shipping fee $28.00. Refund is $106.60 No stars

Club does not notify you in advance of shipments! That's how they make money! you CANNOT CANCEL even if your shipment has not been processed yet! Ridiculous!
