I cancelled my subscription after just one shipment. The wines were just average and the bottles had obviously been sitting on the shelf for a while because the corks crumbled when I tried to take them out. It was impossible to remove them without the whole cork coming apart. When cancelled my subscription, they said I had a shipment that was too far in the process to be cancelled (more than a week away). If I hadn't gone on the website I wouldn't have known there was a shipment in process. They told me I could refuse the shipment, but they would charge me $28 for shipping and handling and $15 restocking fee. Don't waste your money on this racket.

Clearly predatory business model. Wine is terrible. Introductory offer serves to acquire customers, price after 1st months doubles, and cancellation is made difficult and time-consuming. Having tried one shipment of red wines from Vinesse, I would not pay over $5 per bottle at a wine store.

Club does not notify you in advance of shipments. Nor do they provide customer support via phone. I left phone message to cancel membership and they've made two more shipments which I have refused and disputed on my credit card account. Very poor customer service. Also, they are the NRA wine club and I refuse to support the NRA.

Placed an order very confident that this would be as good as other wine clubs that I’m part of. My order of 6 bottles came with only 4 in a stained and sticky box. It looked like 2 bottles broke and it messed up everything else. Too bad I can’t post a picture of it here. Besides that, they placed my second order without letting me know, no tracking number and neither details of what I was going to get. I found out only because my credit card was charged $150 and I was like “what is this”. No communication, no tracking number and on top of that, extremely bad quality wines. 2 out of the 4 bottles were straight to the trash can. Their wines are so bad that they don’t even exist on...

I recently purchased an introductory order. I am trying very unsuccessfully to reach someone to let them know I will not be able to accept any additional orders because I will be out of town. After trying to reach customer service (tried three different phone numbers), I went online for help. No luck. Also noticed quite a few negative comments including BBB comments (not a good sign). Please cancel any additional shipments - Thank you.

The wines were good but the customer service was disappointing and today I cancelled my subscription. I was a member for about 10 ten years. I have changed my plans a couple of times. I was down to two shipments a year. I never received my last shipment. It took me a while to get through to them to tell them I never received my last shipment. However, since the wine when back to them I would have expected them to get reach out to me to see what happened. When I finally talked to customer service rep he was dismissive and condescending. He stated that they will charge me a restocking fee. I do not know why, I did not send the wines back they were never delivered. I never... Read More

This is a deceptive company, using names like WSJ, etc. Plus, their wine taste awful. I did not receive any notice prior to their shipments and was out of town/country. They charged me shipping & restocking fees event though all wine was returned. That's 30% net loss for nothing. Two shipments cost me $90. There are better wine clubs out there, I have had experienced with one that would refund 100%. In hindsight, I should have stick with them.

This outfit sells wines that are not from ANY vineyard you can find. They reported extra wine and repackage it with fake labels. Do not trust Vinesse. They are liars.

very similar to the many many reviews here. They charged $145 on my card without telling me and when i contacted customer support almost immediately, they told me it is "too late" to cancel my "order" and i can refuse the wine but they will still charge me $65 out of the $145 for shipping and restocking? are you kidding me? i contacted them again and yes they pointed me the the fine print of the agreement that they claim "i signed up and legally responsible for". Please do not provide your credit card information to them and spread the word. I normally don't write reviews but i feel the responsibility to let others out there know about this company that is just out there to scam people!

I felt that the wines were fortified with added sugar. They all had a sweet sugar taste. I think you can do better in a supermarket or wine shop.
