Start A Wine Club

A wine club offers members inside access to favorite wines from favorite vineyards. Members enjoy access to wine cultural experiences such as tastings and other exclusive events. The wine clubs provide members a series of monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual premium-quality wine shipments and benefits.

Starting a wine club is pretty simple! Invite people you know and the existing customers. You can also advertise starting a wine club in wine enthusiast magazines and online communities.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a wine club:

Through their unique approach and attention to detail, the Roscoli Wine Club has achieved impressive growth, with nearly 1,000 members and annual revenue of 1 million euros in just 3 years.
