Great wine at reasonable prices directly to my door every month taking the guesswork to buy out of the equation.

For a company that is "the Netflix of wine" they do not make it convenient for customers. I worked from home for two days to receive my shipment, however, it never arrived. I live in an apartment building with a call box out front but is not managed by a concierge or doorman and thus left specific instructions for the delivery person to use the call box and/or to call me upon arrival. Somehow none of that worked and my package didn't arrive. When I contacted Winc customer support, their alternative options were to (a) leave it with the doorman (which I had noted was not an option), (b) send it to an alternative pickup location (which is far from my house and would be very difficult to...

Winc Wine Club used my personal contacts from my subscription with Club W that I canceled over 3.5 years ago. They emailed these folks today using my first and last name saying I just sent them a free wine offer. These e-mails went to clients & old personal connections I am no longer in touch with. Inappropriate and unprofessional business practices from a company that must be desperate for business. Do not give them your personal information!

Miserable experience. Increasingly unsatisfying wines for increasingly higher prices. When I sought to cancel, their customer service department was more interested in making it a hassle than in finding the root of my issue and refused to cancel my service until I outright called out the lack of professionalism directly. Responsible companies that offer a valuable service do not need to coerce their customers into staying with them.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Winc. The wine quality is bottom shelf, more often red and white blends, that are hardly worth $13+ dollars. The delivery service is fine, but really that's a review of FedEx. The Winc service is extremely difficult to use and cancel. Canceling requires calling into Winc, rather than an online option. There, I was placed on hold for 10 minutes before connecting finally with a service rep who tried several times to continue selling me a membership even after I tried to cancel. Worse still, the option to skip every month must be made every month in a 3 day window between when your wines are selected and when they are shipped. Returning wines are... Read More

Not at all impressed with the wine. Tastes like a $10 or less bottle of wine but your paying a lot more. Hard to cancel membership.

Wine was terrible and I contacted them to cancel but they would not cancel and continued to send shipments anyway. When I contacted them again to cancel and return the wine they told me they would deduct $20. I will be contacting my credit card about fraudulent charges because they charged my card without my permission. Their prices seemed reasonable but the wine was awful. I brought these bottles on vacation and my friend brought a box wine (Vin Vault) and these bottles were so bad we ended up just drinking box wine....

I have been very happy with my Winc membership. The wine quality is great!!! Every time I visited my sister she would offer me a glass of wine she had received from Winc. I finally decided to join myself since I really liked nearly all the different wines I tried at her house. Joining was easy and free.I did have to figure out how to skip a montly shipment but have had no problem skipping when I need to. The wines offered through Winc are very good and fit my teacher-salary budget. I would not hesitate to recommend this club to others and have already told several of my friends about it. I would say that you do need to find out how to skip the month in advance of the shipment date so you... Read More

I was very unhappy with my experience with WInc and would not recommend it in the future. I felt that the sign up process was very vague regarding how the enrollment process would operate. It was my understanding that you would be able to pick which months you would have wine delivered and would only be charged when you wanted to have wine shipped. That is not the case. I thought that the idea of a customized wine delivery which allowed you to try new wines was a great idea. Unfortunately, the wine that was delivered was not at all the type that I would prefer. It was very fruity when I prefer dry wines. I ended up giving away the bottles, because I couldn't drink them. I... Read More
