Varied selection
August 16, 2021

We have been receiving quarterly deliveries from this company for a couple of years now. The selections have been interesting and enjoyable. The pricing is reasonable and it is fun to be exposed to grapes that you would not normally purchase.

Great wines & service
August 15, 2021

Been ordering wines for a few years from Wine Insider. They offer a great selection at good prices and have fantastic sales & even offer free gifts with purchase on occasion. Great email communication about orders and ships quick! Have ordered several times as gifts for a wine loving family member. She's blown away to get a box of 6 bottles of wine for no reason out of the blue. (The sales are just too hard to pass up).
Customer service is super friendly & helpful. Had to call when shipping service was doing some wacky stuff with one order. They took care of the problem right away.

Wine Insiders has a nice selection of wines and some very nice wine special offerings. Their shipping carrier, however, is FedEx Home, a subsidiary of FedEx Ground, comprised of lazy independent contractors. I would not recommend this wine merchant if you reside in an apartment building and are without means of picking up. Wine Insiders' Customer Service is not helpful in resolving shipment issues with the carrier, but they issue a prompt refund to the customer once FedEx has returned the shipment to their warehouse.

First bad bottle
July 12, 2021

So it had to happen. I got my first bad bottle of wine. It was from South Africa... Interesting in that South Africa is no a place that immediately comes to mind as a producer of great wine. It was simple labeled as "white" so no doubt a blend of some sort. It was so bad that my immediate reaction was do I swallow this or spit it out? It was not spoiled... screwcap so it was just no good. But the customer service person gave me a credit, in fact went so far as to look up my order to confirm I had a second bottle which was also credited. Can't really ask for more than that. I remain a fan and a loyal customer.

What I love about Wine Insiders are the great wines at great value. No, you are not going to find names that you are likely familiar with, and no, you are not going to find 50 dollar bottles of wine. But for most of us, if we are honest, the 10 to 20 dollar, well selected brands (by wine insiders) will taste just as good if not better!
And if you wait until there are sales, you will find amazing deals. I mean amazing.
On top of that, Wine Insiders has never charged me shipping---not once. And the delivery is fast---I am talking a few days at most. Once at the height of the pandemic they took a bit over a week and sent me like 3 emails updating and apologizing! My WSJ Wine club (Where the wines are way way way more expensive and not really any better--though I use as gifts for more wine enthusiasts) takes like 3 weeks for a case to arrive.
I highly recommend you check this site out. Unless you are a wine snob. Then just go spend your easy money somewhere where they are happy to rip you off.

I've been a member of Wine Insiders since its inception and never disappointed. The selection and price point of the wines is superb, and the bottles are always fresh, I never experienced a musty or crumbly cork.
Also, the few times I contact customer service is always pleasant and they meet my needs courteously and with respect.

Lovely Wine
June 26, 2021

Have been with wine insiders for over 20 years. The wine has always been tasty. One time a wine was not right but I called them and they sent me a fresh bottle right away and it was delicious. Not bad for twenty years of excellent wine. I would highly recommend this company for anyone wanting to try different wines. Have some fun adventure in trying something new in wine drinking.

I have a Total Wine Store about three miles from my house and I have been buying wine there for the past eight years. A friend told me about Wine Insiders and I decided to give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the wine I received for less money than I had been spending for a lower quality wine at Total Wine. Not only have I enjoyed it, but when I give the Wine Insiders bottles as gifts, everybody loves them.
