Innovative company with a fabulous wine selection of both domestic & imported offerings.

False advertising. Customers CANNOT control the day/time of their delivery. As per their article here: https://support.winc.com/hc/en-us/articles/223279247-Who-can-accept-a-shipment-from-Winc- "Further customize your delivery details (including scheduling a delivery date/time or delivering to another address*), you can sign up for FedEx's Delivery Manager to make those arrangements." THIS IS NOT TRUE, which means that if you cannot sign for the package the first time, you will either have to make yourself available at 4-hour intervals or add another errand to your day by going to you local FedEx, line up, sign and pick up the package there. Awful customer service. Spent time arguing with them to then have them tell me that their website and support teams have been wrong and they were misleading customers. Too bad. It's good wine at good prices. read more

I'd give it 0 if I could. Website rarely works, app is crap. They don't answer their phone. I can't even use all the credits they keep charging to my account so I can cancel. Plus their prices are not that good, and they don't have anything special with respect the wines they carry. What kind of wine club doesn't even offer a Sav Blanc from New Zealand? read more

great wines, love that you can filter your search for 'low sugar,' customer service is on point. I have been a member for 3 years and will continue. read more

Review of wines and the customer service. Wines: been subscribed for almost a year and a half now. It was probably 1 year of happy membership and 6 months of "please cancel my subscription" Because you don't have the option to cancel online, you either have to call or write an email. All my emails get answered with "well you can just skip another month!" No... I want to CANCEL. I've been falsely charged because they wouldn't cancel my subscription. I'm STILL in the process of trying to cancel. Wines are meh at most. Taste like the $5-$8 bottles you can get at the store. They are just rebranded with millennial packaging which I did fall for. read more

Excellent service and wine from a trustworthy business. Decided to try them out and didn't regret it. They sent very nice wines. I had to cancel the service after my introductory shipment for personal reasons, but cancelling was a breeze. Simply submitted a cancellation request that was responded to within a day or 2, with courteous customer service. Highly recommended! read more

Overall, this is a good way to experience a variety of wines that are pretty much exactly as marketed. For the price, the wine quality is totally solid if slightly better than what you would get for paying $12 in a grocery store. As some other commenters have noted, they do exclusively provide Winc branded wines, but they are pretty up-front about that as you view their selection. Cancelling the subscription took me less than 2 minutes with the online chat feature, and while the support team member did ask if I would prefer to skip a month they were in no way pushy or rude. It was honestly one of the easier cancelling processes for a subscription of this type. Generally, I would consider subscribing again and think that they offer a solid choice for wine subscribers. read more

Just placed another in a long line of orders with Winc and, as always, it was quick, easy and painless. Would, perhaps, have liked more availability/options (no Sauv Blanc, e.g.) but I found what i wanted and needed. Additionally, I used the Chat option to correct the shipping address and Jerame made that happy effortlessly read more

Customer service for me has been great. They were able to stop a delivery which I did not want before it reached my front door. I love getting wine packages and love the option to skip without penalty. I don't do it every month as I feel my diverse taste for wine is not always captured in their selections. Overall a great gift and fun to use. read more

I just got off the phone with Pam. She resolved my issue, same call and within minutes. I'm just so happy with her service and the questionnaire that I received from Winc that I wanted to share on yelp review. I initially called to cancel my membership because of the previous representative's mistake. I liked that Pam listened and solved the issue; same call. (I didn't have to repeat myself) after the phone call, I recieved an email to rate Pam's service. It took me to a new window and of course I gave her 5 stars. What I thought was very clever/ creative was that the questionnaire asked... based on my rating of 4 or 5 stars... what I would reward Pam with ... lunch, coffee or gift card and Winc would make it happen ! I love it! Thank you read more

I had a very positive interaction with customer service in trying to work through an order and subscription. Prompt and complete responses. Winc customer service is excellent! read more

Joined off the back of Covid and not knowing when or how I could get to a liquor store. I have since cancelled but more so because I wanted greater choice and to support my local community liquor store. Pros: Convenience of getting wine delivered to your door each month, very easy to navigate, great customer service, quick shipping, decent prices, pretty labels. Cons: Not so much variety, some of the wines I enjoyed I wasn't able to purchase when the next month came around which was a bit annoying, the quality of the wine itself is pretty average. I think it's fine for the average person but if you know about wine i'd say you'd be disappointed. I dare say you could get better wines for the same price at the liquor store, and greater choice. The roses were decent though. read more

Winc is a very competent and customer friendly company that also sells great wines, I highly recommend giving them your business.

Truly the most annoying cancellation experience ever for a subscription. Wines are fine. Just hope you never want to cancel or you'll have to deal with the most aggressive customer service people ever who won't actually confirm if they're going to cancel your membership read more

Worst experience ever! Customer service needs a total overhaul..they don't know the difference between the purchaser and the recipient, which was beyond irritating for both of us. They first indicated that they could hold my "surprise" gift for pick up in Boston, but I live in Chicago After many confusing emails, and customer service calls, the purchaser (my very thoughtful sister) gave up and canceled the order. So not only did WINC ruin a surprise they also ruined my birthday gift. Get it together! read more

Companies that have integrity, respect their customers, and believe in their product don't make it as difficult as possible to unsubscribe. You can click around Winc's website all you want, but you'll never find an unsubscribe button. Eventually you'll google how to unsubscribe and find that they require you to call or chat with a representative during business hours. Then you'll find that the representative gives you the runaround for a while before allowing you to cancel. These are scummy cable company tactics. You can't do much about your cable company because they are a monopoly. But you can, and should, buy wine anywhere else. read more

I do not write many reviews, but was really disappointed with my experience in getting support with Winc. Trying to cancel a monthly subscription has been a challenge and still not sure if it has gone thru. In my latest support interaction, they seem only interested in landing new customers, but supporting existing customers is an afterthought. Interaction was odd, as I mentioned a discount code I received and then customer support had indicated that was only for new customers. I lookin in my emails and had another code they sent and again, support said that was only for new customers. I had placed a couple of orders, but spent a lot of time trying to place an order to use my existing balance and then to cancel. Very disappointed in the process to cancel and have seen many other comments on the challenges to cancel. There should be a 0 star option for situations where customers cannot get the support to stop future charges. read more

Who doesn't like getting wine shipped to thier house??!! It seems like it always comes at the right time, right when you run out of vino! I have enjoyed my time with Winc and would recommend it to anyone! read more

Awful customer service. I received an offer on Tuesday which didnt show up when I went to check out on thursday. Was told they couldnt help me but i could sign up for a membership instead..... SCAM!!!! read more

I love winc, they are so easy to deal with whether you use customer support reps via phone or chat. They are very effective. Their wines are great too! read more

Winc wines are so good! Low sugar, therefore low carbs! Yummy and flavorful! Great customer service, and an amazing order for first time customers:) Woukd highly recommend! read more

I like wine but never really know what I'm getting into so having styles picked out for me was a nice perk. Being able to skip months or pause your membership is only a few clicks and reminder emails came on time before being charged. I liked to rack up my credits and then buy a case at a time to receive the 12 bottle discount which also comes very safely packed. After a 2year membership I have an ample supply of wine and canceled, for now, which was also just a quick live chat to accomplish. Drink Happily! ..and responsibly :) read more

If I could leave a negative 1 star I would. This company will charge you long after you cancel your membership. Go look at the complaints from others on the Better Business Bureau website. There are about 60 other complaints in the past couple years for the same thing. I am one of the few that "caught" that they were charging me. I would bet there are others that don't even pay attention to the charges. This company will scam you out of your money. Even worse, they make it almost impossible to contact them. read more

I've been a member now over 6 years. These are good, over-average drinking wines for fair prices compared to local stores. Some are certainly better than others, but most fall into the 3.5-4.2 average rating. Delivery is convenient. Customer service has been exceptional the few times I've needed them. One caveat is that you cannot place your account on hold more than skipping current (next) monthly shipment, so you always need to pay heed to the advance notice emailed out regarding upcoming shipment and log in to skip it each month if you want to pause for a while. It's nice you can swap out or add additional bottles to your monthly selected shipment whereas some other memberships do not allow that. read more

Winc has enjoyable wines across a nice spectrum. Prices were reasonable. Staff is very friendly. My only gripe with the service was only being to skip one month at a time. A simple pause and resume feature would be better, instead of having to remember each month to skip. But if you are a fan of wine, this is a great service. Enjoy! read more

I ordered wine from Winc (4 bottles) to send to my sister for her birthday. I would like to keep the subscription for myself however due to these uncertain times during this pandemic I am unable to do so. Daisy with Winc was very kind and professional in assisting me with canceling my subscription. I have not tasted the wine but the customer service that I received was SUPERB!!! read more

Very professional company and affordable. These types of wines are not for those who drink Mad Dog 20/20, Ripple, or anything real sweet and cheap. You have to know how to pair these wines with foods to bring out the flavor of the grapes. read more

I was given a $250 gift for this wine club service but found its rules, pricing and scant availability of my wines of choice far too problematic to get any value. Huge disappointment. read more

You're supposed to get emails BEFORE your order is processed, so you can customize your wine selection or choose to skip a month. There were several months where I did not receive an email at all, but since I always received it on the 19th of the month, I made sure to customize my order or skip if needed before this date. This month, I did not receive a "customize your order" email again... and my order shipped early, on the 19th. I live chatted with support and Joanna agreed to refund me the $59 and told me to keep the wine so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping to return the order. 10 days passed and I didn't see the refund in my account, so I emailed support making sure the refund was initiated. They replied saying they could partially refund me since I kept the wine... Um... what?? So, not only had they not even started the refund process, but it was not for the agreed upon amount. I hopped on live chat again to clear things up, thinking it would be no problem since I had the previous chat transcript where I was told I could keep the wine and would get a full refund. Nope. Lance kept saying my "best option" was a partial refund since I kept the wine. I told him several times that Joanna told me to keep the wine, but he just kept saying, "I am sorry for your confusion," to which I kept saying, "Are we looking at the same chat transcript???" I wanted so much to like this company, but after this experience... needless to say, I cancelled my membership. read more

Some subscription services are fun, but I don't think it gets any more fun than wine every month! We've enjoyed pretty much every wine we received through Winc. I'd recommend anyone who wants to try new wines and see what they like to definitely start a subscription. I liked that I could choose what type of wine we'd receive each month, especially since my husband and I tend to like different kinds. It does get a little pricey, so we ended up suspending our service before the holiday season hits us. That being said, I'd probably start it again without much hesitation. read more

Winc, formerly Club W, is a wine subscription box. Their wine service is offered to those 21+ (remember you will need to sign for your box upon arrival). Essentially, you take their survey and they recommend wines based on your answers. Step 1- Quiz Example quiz questions include: Do you like-black coffee? Do you like earthy flavors? Do you like citrus? Step 2- Recommendations You then get to choose your wine based on their custom recommendations (easy-peasy). You can opt out of their recommendations and pick your own selections. We did a mix of their recommendations and our own selections. This method is helpful when you're in a wine rut and find yourself choosing the same wines every time. Step 3 - Shipping They offer $6 flat shipping for 3 bottles. Or, you can get free shipping if you add a 4th bottle (which is what we did). The wine is then shipped to your house. Again, someone 21+ needs to be there to receive/sign for your box. I ended up shipping mine to the office and everyone enjoyed looking at the wine with me. Step 4 - The Box / Our Experience I'm happy we gave this a shot. We really enjoyed the information cards with recipes that were sent with each bottle (see photos for cards and packaging). Although this is a monthly subscription box, you have the option to skip a month or cancel. Our Winc Box was a nice experience and we enjoyed a few of the bottles (we gave a few away as gifts). Some of the bottles weren't great. None of the bottles we sampled were 'out of this world' good. We ended up ordering two months worth of 'A-Ok' wines. We ended up canceling after 2 boxes. We were happy to try it and thought it was an ok experience. We will stick to sampling wines at Trader Joe's and shopping for wine at Costco. Yelp Review #15 2016 read more

See all

Got involved through emptyfaces, a type of boardgame. Pretty disappointed with my first 4 wines that they picked based on my responses. Canceling is a bit of a hassle as you have to go through an agent to do so. The agent I conversed with offered a deal to keep me aboard, assuring me "they can do better" and thus I divulged my tastes in wine to her in hopes of greener pastures. This was only yesterday, so I have not received the other wines as of yet, but that will determine my continued patronage. This is an interesting service, I really like the idea of it, especially if they can provide better wines. Life is an adventure, as is experience with this service. read more

Overpriced for how awful the wine tastes. The wine is very port quality. Even Franzia boxed wine tastes better in my opinion. They also don't make it easy for you to cancel the subscription. You cannot do it through the site, you have to call. Overall just not worth it for the price unless you enjoy $12 bottles of wine that taste like rubbing alcohol. read more

What a f*cking scam. I ordered wine once, and now I am being charged monthly. Their hope is that consumers will not notice. I wonder what % of people who order wine notice this monthly charge. For sure well below 100% and that's how they make their cash flow. Every month draining $59.95 from "customer" pockets. There was no indication on my original purchase that I am signing up for a monthly membership. I'd never agree to that! I called customer service for a refund and they tried to tell me its nonrefundable. I had to yell at them to get my money back. I'm referring this case to the Attorney General and telling Amex to remove them from their platform. read more

I am a new Winc customer, but I'm enjoying it so far. Being able to "surf" through a large selection with descriptions and access to live chat is so helpful! I enjoy wine, but have previously stuck to just a few selections. Now, I can try more, with some guidance, and it's an adventure. I haven't loved every wine, but that's all part of the process. read more

Great wines for reasonable prices. They are flexible with your monthly orders. Plus, if there are any issues, their customer service is top notch! Highly recommend Winc! read more

First time trying a subscription wine service, and I'm really glad I chose Winc. The selection process to understand your wine tastes is fun, simple and intuitive, and has just the right amount of customize-ability to accommodate your personal preferences. Enjoyed the wines I received from Winc, and also appreciate the fact that I can "pause" my wine subscription if I'll be traveling or just don't feel like receiving a shipment. Overall a positive experience from start to finish. Love Winc's design and their customer service too! read more

I do not know how i got this membership and i do not know how this membership works because out of nowhere i received an email that my shipment was on its way!.. ..no email to pick my wines or an email to say my shipment would be ready soon. No just an email to say the wines were on the way with a charge on my visa . I tried to contact the winc customer service and the emails are sent back to me undeliverable, the phone hours are limited so they are hard to reach, and the site says to text...well those hours are limited too. So now i have a box of wine being delivered, my account closed, and customer service telling me i owe$ 68 for this shipment and no other orders will be shipped..... ..what ever happened to the customer is always right???? Don't get caught in the web read more

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. STAY AWAY. DODGY BUSINESS TACTICS. I got the introductory 4 bottles for $27 promotional, and it was too good to be true. I sent MULTIPLE emails to the company to try to cancel since the wine was 3/5 stars at best, though I did not receive 1 response back. Turns out my account was linked to an email I had absolutely no access to, and how did that happen?! After emailing I tried to call, no answer. I was charged for 3 MONTHS before I was able to speak with anybody about cancelling, and I finally did, but my money was gone. I moved addresses, so who knows who was getting my wine?!! And how were they signing for it?? PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WINE, STAY AWAY. read more

Had an issue with a wine shipment that was damaged in transit. I spent at most 5 min on their live chat and the Winc staffer made arrangements to have my order promptly reshipped. Things happen in logistics. I just appreciated that it was easy to bring up the problem and that the staffer I was dealing was empowered to promptly deal with the issue and resolve it. read more
