We did not have a good experience with Splash Wines. We've used Splash wines several times in the past but this time it was different. I've recommended this company to my family and friends. No more. I received an email to call and see if Splash wines can make the process be better but I called and all the guy said is that you received the wine last Saturday. I'm aware but it took three weeks to a month. I'm not sure why the email asked to me call that #. I did. Another wasted phone call. Thanks.

You moved your call center out of our country. How disgraceful. The people at your call center do not speak good English nor are they very knowledgeable about what they are trying to sell. Splash wines should be ashamed.

Not happy! Placed an order for 5 bottles of a wine we just received. System confirmed the order. Customer service cancelled the order on the phone. Said it was too small. Tried to upsell me to buy 15 bottles! Have done business here for years! Not the way to treat a very good. Customer. Splash— make an exception and do the right thing! That is customer service. If you do not service your customer, your competition certainly will!

Sep 17, 2025

While I did receive Splash Cash of $10 for my bad Bottle of Bordeaux I would much rather had a replacement so I could decide if I liked the wine. But you essentially said it wasn't worth the effort.

I will not order from splash again...

Long Time Splash Customer
November 25, 2024

I nave been purchasing Splash Wines frequently for around four or five years. I was one of their biggest fans. I earned a lot of points which I could save up and use to buy a heavily discounted case, sometimes even a free one. I even became a "Founder" member of their Wino club to rack up even more points. Their wines were almost always good with a seldom bad bottle. I have left many 5 star reviews in the past.

Recently they started "expiring" rewards points if received more than six months prior. If that was not bad enough, they also limited the number of points that you can redeem to $25.00 worth. None of these policy changes were ever shared with their customers prior to adopting them. This makes it extremely difficult to ever redeem their points without buying a fortunes worth of wine.

They currently owe me for three shipments of wine (I was attempting to use up some points before they expire). One is supposed to arrive by Wednesday of this week (2 days from now), prior to Thanksgiving.
I still have received no conformation of delivery or a response from their customer service. I anticipate having to fight to get my remaining wine.

Stay away from them until you start hearing a lot of good reviews after they reverse their policy changes.

They did return my expired points when demanded but assured me that points received prior to six months previously would be removed monthly.

I have been ordering from Splash Wines over 2 years, once or twice a month. My last 3 orders have been completely screwed up! They have about $245.00 of my money tied up!
They are now horrible! Do NOT order from them!
They use to be great but since outsourcing, they are horrible!

Buyer Beware!
March 6, 2024

Buyer beware! I ordered a special Pinot Noir box, which was supposed to include four "Captains List" bottles. The price was much higher than what I ordinarily pay, but I was very excited to get the advertised Willamette Valley Pinots.

When the box arrived, there were only 11 wines (plus one empty space), and none of the Captains List bottles.

When I asked for the missing bottles to be shipped, they said it was too expensive. Instead, they were only willing to offer a partial refund that was based on the average cost of all the bottles.

Bad service, shady practices!

Terrible!
February 22, 2024

I have bought wine from Splash wines (or whatever they are calling themselves at the moment) always hoping for the best...instead I'm always disappointed. You would think the least they could do in throw in at least one mediocre wine now and then. Instead they offer nothing but low rung wines that probably wouldn't even make the bargain bin at the liquor store. Never again.0 stars.

There is no way to use their splash cash. The site is so annoying. I tried to support, but they seem to be aware of the issue, but offered no solution

Cheap wine
November 14, 2023

I have ordered from various companies, and have enjoyed all. Unfortunately for me splash wines are cheap for a reason. If you are a true wine drinker, these wines are not for you. So far all the whites taste the same much like vinegar. I shall not order from this company again. Not great.

Low price, low quality Terrible customer service
October 17, 2023

Their prices may be low, and so is the quality. The only way to get a decent bottle of wine is to upgrade to their hgher tier wines, and now your good deal is gone. I recently had ordered a case of 18, received only 17, and had to jump thru hoops to prove it. They had me take photos of all the wines and then only gave me 1/18 credit for the missing bottle, even though the missing bottle was a better quality wine. Also the fine print states that they may substitute wines, so what you ordered, you may not get. Although shipping is convenient, I'll go back to Total Wine and avoid the hassle for my next purchase.

We appreciate you taking the time to review Terry. I know you have ordered with us quite a bit throughout the years, I am certainly sorry to hear that your recent experience hasn't been as positive. I apologize for the effort to verify the missing bottle, I know that is a pain but something that our shipping partners request out of us. And while on occasion there might be a need for a substitution - it is very rare and we'll always back up our satisfaction guarantee!

I am sorry again for the poor experience, we do hope for the opportunity to serve you again despite that. -Parker Imeson, Chief Operating Officer

I have been a great customer to Splash Wines. One of my all time Fav's. But when I ordered the wrong case and wanted assistance, they were not willing to assist and I got stuck with it. They would not credit me even a penny off of the one I had to keep nor a discount on buying a new one. NOTHING. I have bought cases and cases from them. I will be moving on to one of their competitors who has just as good of wine and packages.

We appreciate you taking the time to review Val. I am so sorry for the frustrating experience, I know it isn't fun when you order the wrong case. It is difficult for us to provide compensation in these scenarios while continuing to stay viable. But like Ashley mentioned when you spoke to her, we will always stand behind our satisfaction guarantee when it comes to the wine itself. So if you don't enjoy any of the bottles from your case - please do reach back out and we'll cover you accordingly. And we do hope for the opportunity to serve you again despite the frustration here! -Parker Imeson, Chief Operating Officer

Cheap wine pretending it is premium
July 10, 2023

In the shipment I received: none of the vine had more then 90 points rating, customer review 3.0 - 3.5 stars; there were some wines in plastic bottles, retail price for some wines were $2.99 and $4.99. You get better deal at Aldi store

Thank you for taking the time to review Eduard. You do have to be wary about the pricing you see listed online - not even we can buy some of these wines between $2.99 - $4.99, let alone after the cost to ship it directly to your door! Sites will list low pricing to drive clicks, only to find that the wine isn't actually available at that price. Ultimately we want your palate to be the guiding light, and if you don't enjoy the wine your received please be sure to reach out to us directly at (844) 444-9311 or [email protected] and we'll cover you accordingly! -Parker Imeson, Chief Operating Officer

Tasted cheap, diluted, old
October 25, 2022

I got a Groupon so I decided to try them out. I was not impressed. The quality of these wines was so incredibly low. A few of them tasted like they'd been thinned out with water and had some kind of hard alcohol added (like the stuff they make hard seltzer from). A few others tasted old and past expiry. There was a weird aftertaste present in most all of the bottles that was just plain gross, and too similar to be a coincidence. I have tried many varieties of wine before and since and enjoyed them immensely, so I know there is nothing wrong with my palate.
Also the customer service is terrible.

Slow to ship
June 5, 2022

Great prices but very slow to ship. Placed order 8 days ago still has not shipped. Be aware they charge restock fee before they will refund you. That about $22 dollars. A very unfair charge.

Terrible red wines all taste the same. All it it!
January 27, 2021

15 bottles purchase with a Groupon cost about $89.00 with a flat shipping fee of $29.00. All the red wines taste the same, poor smell and taste, of course this explains it; it's splash wines you need to splash it in the bathroom to empty out all the bottles because you can't drink them.

Looked at a Groupon for Splash Wine due to email. Clicked around trying to get details and ended up with a charge of $48 on PayPal. In order to get ANYTHING from Splash Wine. At that point, I'd have to pay $38 for shipping. Decided to cut my losses but did call to make sure they did not sign me up for a monthly subscription too. Customer service guy was an $#*!. Out of pocket $48 but glad I don't have to deal with Splash in the future. If you have to use sneaky tactics, then your not a stand up company.

Splash Wines - Shipping rip off
November 1, 2020

They charge $40 on shipping. Purchased it from groupon. The 16 pack was advertised for $60, no information on shipping. When redeeming the voucher, Spash, charged $40 for shipping, which included taxes. It is crazy!

A very happy and satisfied customer
October 31, 2020

As a customer of Splash Wines I must say I`m very pleased with their collection of wines and customer service.
I do not give positive responses unless I really believe the company or individual actually earned it.
Splash Wine has earned my high praise because they have lived up to their values and commitment of providing excellent products and services. I have purchased many cases of wine and loved all selections provided by Splash Wines. I have contacted the company`s Customer Service Department and received quick and positive responses. Customer Service helped me with the questions that I had regarding wines and other concerns.
I`m an Organizational Performance and Strategic Planning Consultant with over 40 years of experience evaluating Fortune 500 Companies` and other organizations` internal operations, people management procedures, and customer service processes. Splash Wines gets my highest satisfaction rating. My name is James A Champion and I`m a satisfied customer of Splash Wines at the company`s highest membership level.
