Nice selection of wines, great prices, all bottles well packed, good delivery (especially important in these times!). Wines are described and rated which helps in choosing new wines to try.

Have been a customer for 3 years. Purchase about 3 times a year. Enjoy my selections. Rarely there is one I don't and Wine Insiders is ready to make it up. When I find a "gem" and go back for more, find it "unavailable." I guess others found it a "gem" also. Recommend.

I tried another "big" wine club before I tried Wine Insiders and the wine was so horrible I didn't even drink it. With Wine Insiders you get great wines at great prices and often with terrific sales prices, too. The service is phenomenal and they make you feel like a friend. You never are required to buy anything to stay a member and I haven't bought wine anywhere else since I became a member over 2 years ago(?) I think that's right. Even though I had favorite wines from other sources, Wine Insiders' selection always has something better than what I was buying before. I lived in France for 10 years in the 70's and 80's so I'm pretty picky when it comes to wine!

Have been buying my wines from WI for a bit over two years now - happily so, I can report. I am no sommelier, but I do know what I like and what reds (all I buy) I have tasted over those years - plenty of cabs, blends, French controlled name labels, Italian DOC's, Malbecs, Zinfandels, Spanish Tempranillos and many others - have never disappointed. Prices are way more than fair. If you are a judicious buyer, you can't fail in my view. Yes, i am exceedingly pleased with my relationship, for that's what it is, with Wine Insider. Great service, great wines, great prices.

Great Experience
July 9, 2020

I love this wine company. During quarantine the shipping took a little longer but the company made it known right away and they offered a coupon to compensate for the delay. I rated 4 stars because they tend to be out of stock for the wines that I love without knowing when it would be back in stock. All the wine I've received has been delicious. I will continue to order from here.

I have ordered from Wine Insiders many times and each time, order confirmations, shipping notices and fast deliveries have been seamless. There were many "regulars" that we would reorder and also found that when ordering with a groupon, the "upgrade" to the next higher level of wine was worth the slightly extra cost.

Love this site!
July 9, 2020

I didn't know I could like wine so much. I kindof live in the "boonies" with not many choices. I like wine, so I tried Wine Insiders (Ok, my sister gave me a discount code too). I didn't know what I was missing. Every wine I have tried has been good. Is it right to say things taste expensive? Really, the wines are not expensive, they just taste that way. I love how Wine Insiders took care and consideration to notify me of possible shipment delays during "lock down". Everything was shut down, and they treated me and my wine order like it was important. That is great service!

4.5 Service
July 9, 2020

I'd rate them a 4.5 if I could. My first order came promptly with zero issues. My second order was damaged in transit. I didn't hear from wineinsider until over a week later after the shipment finally got back to them. Since I could see on FedEx that the package was damaged, I contacted customer support and they promptly refunded me since the wine I ordered wasn't available for replacement. My third order again came without issue.
