Winc

Winc Review

Winc is a wine club which offers 4 bottles of wine every month. Delivered to the customer’s home door, the service is easy to use and it allows wine lovers to choose their own wines or to get their own wine recommendations. The price per bottle starts at $13. Of course, the service is modern and minimalistic which means it comes with no membership fee. All orders can also be cancelled at any moment.

Winc wine club – how it works

With a starting cost of $52 per month for 4 bottles of wine, the service is quite affordable. Of course, other wines are available as well. Customers can choose their own wines. Some of the best wines are part of the Winc Select subscription plan.

But the mains strength of the Winc plan lies in their own wines. So instead of purchasing wines from different wineries, Winc produces local wines. Those thinking this strategy would not produce enough wines can be surprised. In 2017, Winc made over 100 cuvées from various grapes.

The way the system works is by customers answering a questionnaire. While there is no perfect fit for these answers, Winc makes general recommendations. They range in quality and price. From $13 to $55, there are wines to suit all needs.

Of course, no wine would be perfect without the right foods. Winc also has a dedicated recipes section. From tasty lasagnas to quick falafels, Winc also makes recommendations for the best pairing.

Winc – what customers say about the wine service

One of the most common opinions of Winc’s customers is related to their minimalistic approach. A complex idea packaged in a modern way makes their website really easy to use. The wine filtering options are impressive as well. Customers particularly felt positive towards the vegan and eco-friendly filters.

Wine selection is also positively-received by customers. Popular choices include the Chommie Cabernet and the 2017 Summer Water Rose. Winc customers can also choose the wines according to the reviews and the number of stars they get from other wine lovers.

Customers also appreciated the flexible delivery options. Some love monthly shipments while others only order 4 bottles of wines every two months. One of the issues of Winc which could simplify the process even further is to simply improve the backend operation for cancelling subscriptions. At the moment, this can only be done by phone with the customer service team. Wine lovers would like to have this automated in the website.

Final considerations

Winc is distinct enough to have loyal customers. While their wines are affordable, they are tasty and often compared to more expensive alternatives which would cost $100 per bottle. The gift service from Winc is also highly praised. Most importantly, Winc shows that wine subscription services can create their own wines. Even if the recommendations can still be improved as they are simplistic based on a small questionnaire, Winc is catered to the taste of the wine lover. The practicality of the service is great as well as it allows customers to get the wines at home. The shipping fees are included.
