Subscription boxes, the gift that keeps on giving – depending on your plan but alas.
With what started as a simple magazine and newspaper service, subscriptions now take all shapes and sizes. From coffee machine subscriptions for caffeine fanatics, to subscriptions tailored to our four-legged friends, and so much more, there really is something for everyone.
Not only do these boxes pique the day’s excitement, but they are a great way to discover new things without having to scour stores or websites in the endless search for the next great thing. Instead, you can enjoy a wonderfully curated box of new things to try, delivered right to your doorstep.
When it comes to wine, there are many subscription services to be explored. No matter your preference for a red or white (or maybe both), we have found the best wine subscriptions delivering right to your doorstep so that you can kick back and relax.

Why should you get a wine subscription?
Generally, a subscription will take the hassle out of having to choose from an overwhelming number of options. While it is fun for some to look through every single bottle in stores and wineries, the sheer variety of options can make this an exhausting ordeal. Subscriptions still give you the chance to choose and discover, but with a much smaller and personalised pool.
Are wine clubs and wine subscriptions the same?
Yes! The idea of a ‘wine club’ started out in 1972, when Paul Kalemkiaran Sr. put up a wine “monthly selections” display in his California liquor store for his customers who would constantly ask for his recommendations. Eventually, due to popular demand, the monthly selections would be delivered directly to customers’ homes and it became known as the Wine of the Month Club.
Nowadays, there are plenty of Australian wine clubs that you can join, depending on your tastes and budget. ‘Wine subscription’ is just another name for the same service, since it works like a magazine or any other kind of subscription where selections are sent to your doorstep.
