Online Wine Clubs

Are you living in the U.K. and spending too much for wine? Wondering if you have options? Well look no more. Naked Wines is a unique online wine buying club that delivers quality wines for a low cost. How can they do this? Here’s a explanation from their website:

How do we do that? Simple. We cut out the only cost you can’t taste (marketing). And we spend more on the stuff you can taste (wine).

The typical bottle of wine bought in the UK has only 30p of wine in it. And £1 of marketing

OR

The price you pay for your wine in the UK is made up of the cost of the wine (obviously), taxes and duty and marketing.

The bad news for small winemakers is that no matter how good their wines are, they don’t sell themselves (until we came along). So they have to either sell the wine to one of the big brands for peanuts. Or they have to buy a suit, an air ticket, and waste their time and money travelling the world selling their wines. So the price of the wine goes up. Which is bad news for you.

We want to change all that.

We champion small independent producers, who are passionate about making great wine – and not so passionate about being salesmen

We pay them a fair price (we often pay cash on the nail to help their cash flow)
And we cut out all the crap between you and them, that you don’t want to pay for, and you can’t taste. Like shops. And mail order. And importers, wholesalers, agents and other assorted middlemen.

That’s only one feature of this online wine club. Other features include:

Wine Makers – learn more about the person making your wine

Wine – A nice list of over 150 different wine to chose from

Auctions – Bid on wines

Groups – Interact with other online wine club members

Tastings – List of upcoming tasting in the area

Being an home wine maker, I personally enjoyed the Wine Makers section because it gave me more insight into the person making the wine and their styles.

If your looking for a great online wine club to join, drop in to Naked Wines.

This is a paid review.

One Response to “ Online Wine Clubs ”

  1. I signed up to Naked Wines and originally thought it was a good idea. I liked the set up and website, especially the social feel to it.

    Unfortunately I have now cancelled my account, a process that isn’t easy to do!

    Poor customer service, late deliveries and a system that simply doesn’t work!

    Look carefully at the whole system and you will soon realise you will end up paying a-lot for mostly average wine.
