5 Reasons To Join A Wine of The Month Club
Joining a wine of the month club is a great idea for anyone who is really serious about their wine habit. It’s something which is becoming extremely popular, since many people would rather join a wine club than go to their corner tavern or take up hobbies like making lye soap at home.
This is one of the reasons that more and more people are choosing to sign up as members of wine clubs. Whether your wine-loving participation truly makes you one of the cultured elite could be a matter of your own opinion, but hey after a few rounds of tasting several special burgundies does it really matter?
Many vineyards are now starting their own wine clubs in order to raise the profile of their companies – if you’ve been thinking about joining a wine club, then this article is for you. I’ve decided on five of the biggest benefits to joining a wine club here. There’s a lot more to be gotten out of joining a wine club than simply getting some good bottles which you won’t come across at your neighborhood liquor store.
1. Keeping it under wraps……It comes delivered in a plain brown wrapper so your neighbors don’t get suspicious (Very helpful if you have very uptight covenants for your suburb).
• Wine clubs all deliver their goods in plain UPS brown boxes so the nosy folks in your neighborhood can’t keep count of how bottles of the living grape you are actually receiving. Now when others grouse about trying to get rid of that nearby ABC store, you won’t become quite as upset.
2. Impress the Best…You can impress others with your expensive wine collection while knowing how few dollars were really paid out. If you specialize in one of the “garage wineries” or small independents, you get some great, unique labels. So you can really get away with claiming you have $200 bottles of an exquisite and rare “Petite Sirah”….c’mon, who’s gonna know?
3. Make Money. You can take advantage of your collection by hosting a wine tasting at your home! If you were so inclined, you could even charge a fee for the food and drink served at your tasting.
4. Saves Time and Effort. Being in a wine club can keep your wine collection well stocked, all without having to run out to buy wine. You’ll never have to run out at the last minute to find a bottle for dinner again!
5. Pranks! One of the benefits of wine clubs is that you’ll be able to fool your friends.
• You can have a taste-off. While you know exactly what’s in that bottle right down to the vineyard and the vintage, your friends won’t. Even if your friends have very discerning palates and can name the grape, you’ll still beat them every time – until they catch on, that is.
• Fill the empty bottles of really good wine with cheap stuff that you bought on sale and serve them to any of the pretentious snobs that you might know…. You know the ones that we are talking about, I’m sure. Make sure that others get the best wine you have and only your select guests should have glasses filled with your special “house wine”.
Then you can watch the wine snobs raving about how wonderful the $3 wine from the grocery store is, right along with everyone else (who are drinking something good). If you can keep a straight face until the bottles are empty, you’ll have a riot once you reveal the prank.
