I love to try different kinds of wines and Wine Insiders makes it affordable by offering good deals on their wine. I love the no shipping on 6 bottles or more. Quick delivery (except during the initial month or so of COVID - which is totally understandable). When delivery was delayed, they offered further discount on future orders.

I've been doing this for maybe three years? Have tried 2-3 other mail order wine sites and never reordered from those. Ships promptly. I have it delivered to my office bc requires signature 21 or older. When I get lucky they offer $29 bottles for $9-11.
I have nothing negative to say and the value is the best thing!

Wine Insiders has been a very nice respite in today's world. They recommend without being overbearing. Their inventory is very appealing. Without a doubt, being able to know what, when, and where via their communication has been outstanding. It is an outstanding organization with whom to work.

Better than retail
July 9, 2020

I discovered Wine Insiders several years ago and, apart from occasionally running dry, I have not bought wine through a retail outlet since. Wine Insiders offers 3 distinct advantages over liquor stores and grocery stores:

1) Price - Wine Insiders offers really great wines at very good prices. This is enhanced even more when you take advantage of their many sales and discount offers.

2) Variety - Wine Insiders has a tremendous selection of wines from all over the world. I really enjoy trying the many new and varied labels they offer.

3) Easy - Physically going to the store to buy wine can be a pain... particularly if you like to buy wine in larger quantities (thus reducing the number of trips to the store). Wine Insiders offers easy selection and payment and can deliver to your door a few days later.

In addition to being easier than retail I also think Wine Insiders is better than other online sites. They let me buy exactly what I want without requiring that i join a "club" or have a subscription that delivers wine I don't want.

Finally, a resource for great California wines that doesn't require me to sign up for automatic shipments. I can order when I'm ready and the prices are very competitive for excellent wines. My order was received very soon after I ordered. One bottle was broken on delivery, so I made a phone call to Customer Service and the issue was resolved in a matter of just a few minutes. This will be my primary source of wines from now on.

Fabulous Company
July 9, 2020

Not only do they sell fantastic wines, the prices are outstanding and quick delivery. I have been buying my wine from them for 7 years and have never had to return a bad bottle. Since I only drink French Wine, their selection is way better than the other online wine shops. So far this year I have ordered 10 cases. Awesome company.

I have been drinking wine for over 40 years but I only consume one or two bottles per week with my wife. I used to pay more per bottle so I can get better wine (Napa, Alexander valley etc...). Six months ago I was introduced to Wine Insiders and so far I ordered over 5 cases of their different kinds of wine. Some were better than others but for the price I was never disappointed with not even a single bottle I received. I highly recommend their selections of wine specially the CA local ones.

I've been a customer for many years now. We enjoy drier wines. I usually order email specials and do not pick specific wine. This enables us to try different things. As in anything, some are better then others, but I've never had any that were undrinkable. The value is there. And on a side note, during the March/April COVID shutdown, there were some issues with proper fulfillment and slower delivery. In contacting customer service, they were very attentive, and replaced bottles sent by mistake and provided further discounts for future orders.

Wine Insiders gives us the opportunity to try a much greater variety of wines than what is available locally. In addition, the fact that the wines are identified as winners is quite helpful, as is the rating system. Prices are excellent, as are special promotions, including free (and speedy!) shipping. What's not to love?

I have been ordering wine from Wine Insiders for 7-8 years, initially pretty happy to receive whatever case appeared on my porch every quarter. I'm even happier now. With the discounts available, I can order wines that are a little more expensive and pay the same amount as before. I can even trust the person on the phone to select the specific wines for me after I tell her what I like and how many Sauvignon Blancs, how many Pinots etc. It's safer than me going to the liquor store! I'm also impressed by how quickly my order is processed and delivered and their ability to notice me about the arrival time. Fear not and drink up. You'll be impressed.

We have ordered from Wine Insiders almost a dozen times in 2020, and absolutely love their wines. The delivery has been quick and spot on, even during the Covid crisis they maintained good delivery schedules. Wine Insiders is excellent in keeping their customers informed of the status of their orders. I recently received an invite for a different wine "club," but that invite went right in the trash. We are sold on Wine Insiders!

I usually buy a case per month of red wines that I have found to be delicious and well priced. The Fed-Ex delivery arrives within 5 days to a designated Fed-Ex partner business, where the wines can stay cool until I can pick them up. Very important step in Arizona!

Wine Insiders is the best wine club I've joined. Fast, always friendly and my wine arrives in perfect condition. I appreciate that I receive wine when I choose to order it and not when the company just sends it to me like many clubs. I enjoy trying new wines in the cases they put together, as well as ordering my favorites. If you ever receive a wine you don't like, give them a call and they will happily replace it. Kudos to Wine Insiders for a great club I love!

All the wines have been screened by their tasters so there is no worry on any selections. Like the variety of wine that you can't get otherwise at your local store so it's fun to try different selections, even the "mystery case". Shipping is efficient and Fedex will drop at a local pharmacy or other retailer to pick up when it's convenient [needs signed for].

I have ordered twice 12 bottles at a time. I enjoy the variety of international wines not typically available in big box grocery stores. I've learned about a wine I never had... called Mauzac and am very happy. Also, I've never been a fan of nor knowledgeable about French wines, but now have gained a new perspective on the. I am very pleased with finding wines from Spain, Italy, Sicily through WI. The website is very easy. I value reviews from other customers. My 1st case was during the start of COVID, so it was a bit delayed in shipping, but WI kept me informed. The 2nd case was amazingly quick to receive. Free shipping is #1 for me when ordering wines. As far a price, like when purchasing anything, I just google other businesses to double check if prices are fair... and I have found 80-90% of the time, WI is fair. WI packs extremely well! I had no shipping complaints at all. I appreciate various promotion offerings. I would order more frequent but during this time, socializing is minimal so I don't have a great need. However, I can 't wait to work up my next order with WI!
