If you guys know me (even a little bit) then you know I love a good glass of wine or a good cocktail at the end of a long day. For me, it’s one of the best ways to unwind (responsibly of course 😉 ). There’s nothing like sharing a bottle of wine with a friend or significant other. To me, it’s always an experience. Whether I’m sharing a bottle with my parents when I’m home on the coast of Maine, sipping with a friend in Boston, in Napa Valley, or even just on a weekend getaway with my boyfriend, the memories always stand out to me. Sometimes it’s not even about how amazing the wine is, but the experience or the location behind where I had the wine that makes it a favorite. For example, when Geoff and I were in New York City last winter, we had the best bottle of wine at an intimate little Italian spot in Manhattan. I’ve spent the past year trying to find that bottle of wine (with no luck)! I can’t even remember the name of the restaurant :(.
I was recently introduced to Winc, and I have to say, I’m a true believer. For those not familiar, Winc is a monthly wine subscription that delivers four bottles of wine a month directly to your door. You can choose to have wine recommended to you based on your personal preferences, or you can hand pick four that you’re dying to try. To give you a bit of Winc’s backstory, Winc was founded in 2012 “because of a shared belief that wine should be more accessible: simpler to get and easier to enjoy.” It was then that it was built into a personalized wine club that grew to become Winc. Winc is a California-based winery that offers an online membership. This is no two-buck you know what kind of wine that other stores sell that gives you an insane headache the next day ;-). Winc works hard to ensure that their product is of top quality. They do this by having an amazing wine team, smaller lots so that they can create a quality product over quantity, partnering with winemakers from all over the world, and building relationships with independent winemakers and growers to deliver a quality product that’s diverse.
WHY I LOVE WINC & KEEP RE-ORDERING EVERY MONTH:
- The wine! The wine really is delicious and of top quality (or I wouldn’t be ordering it), and it’s the only place I’ve been able to find Summer Water Rosé!
- Saves me time! Those of you who live in a city know. While I love living in a city, some things here are truly a hassle. One of them? Buying alcohol and wine. Since most grocery stores in Boston don’t sell wine and liquor, I can’t just do a one stop shop like you can in most places. Between having to find parking, then looking through all the wines aimlessly to decide on one, Winc has truly saved me a ton of time.
- Customer service. I can’t say enough amazing things about their customer service, and I’m not just saying that! There were a couple times I dealt with them. When I first ordered through Winc, I got an email that my wine had been damaged on its way to me. No questions asked, they immediately shipped a new order to me that arrived in just a couple days. On another occasion, I received the wrong wine. After chatting with one of their representatives, they sent me new wine, complimentary. Best customer service ever.
- You can skip months. Going to be away on vacation or just don’t feel like paying/receiving wine this month? Skip a month! This is one of my favorite parts of Winc, as it doesn’t make me feel trapped.
- The fun labels. I can’t even deal with how cute some of the labels are. They would be perfect for a party or for a wine tasting night with the girls! I’m saving a couple of my bottles for a weekend with my girlfriends. How cute are these labels here, here, and here? Can’t get over it. I just ordered these to take to the beach this summer.
