It's a none profit but we all know how that can be abused with high salaries etc. But I have had some good and unusual wines and although they are as variable as other shippers and the reviews are not... See more

Written by the company
Founded in 1874, The Wine Society is the world’s oldest member-owned community of wine lovers. We put our members before profit to ensure fairer bottle prices for both the people that enjoy them, and for those who make them. Because we don’t need to keep external shareholders happy, we’re able to put profits back into lower prices and services, so our members get exceptional quality in every bottle they buy.

The Wine Society is brilliant
The Wine Society is brilliant. You can order a single bottle and get it delivered within a day or so. They have a huge range of wines, bought by real experts. You can have the highest confidence in them.
Excellent value wines at all price…
Excellent value wines at all price points. Excellent, unbiassed advice on website and over the phone. Reliable delivery service with dedicated Wine Society vans. My only complaint is that for a while the Wine Society own van delivery was not available and the replacement service from DHL was unreliable. Wine Society is a true cooperative. Profits re-invested for the benefit of members and not doled out to shareholders.
Can't be beaten in my view
Having been a member of TWS for decades, I hope that speaks for itself! Easy to order, on PC, Tablet or phone. I enjoy the wine selection and supporting information. Delivery is FREE. My latest order was placed on a Thursday 18.30 and will be delivered to my door on the Saturday; that's less than 48 hours. Excellent range of wines at fair prices and a no quibble returns policy. I make use of En Premieur offers and enjoy my modest holding in TWS cellars. Overall an excellent service and NO COLD CALLS!

Excellent choice of wines and good value.
Efficient delivery service.
Great service
As usual, the ordering online was very easy, the delivery options first class and the delivery by DHL excellent - their driver even takes our wines to the cellar!
The wines themselves are excellent too.....!
One of the best online wine retailers
Fantastic wine selection at really good prices. Well worth becoming a member for as you get deliveries when you need them, usually in a couple of days if needed and with no extortionate delivery charges. My go-to online vendor.
Great range of wine
Great range of wine. Plenty of deliveries to choose from. I changed the delivery date but was notified of the original delivery date. A quick phone call resoled it. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout.
Good range of wines at all price…
Good range of wines at all price points. I particularly like the fact that you don't pay extra for delivery. The price of the bottle/case is what you pay.
I also like and have made use of the En Primeur system and attend tastings when they are near me.
Wines are excellent value, but excessive e-mails are annoying.
Wines are excellent value, free delivery for any quantity, but daily promotional e-mails are annoying!
Mine is an inherited membership
Mine is an inherited membership, and I have always found the Society to provide excellent value and selections.
Shame the French store had to close due to circumstances, but over recent years the online ordering has been so easy to use.
Efficient
Efficient, polite effective delivery. Being a mutual, the cost of the wines is always more competitive than any other supplier.
A long term fan of The Wine…
I am a long term fan of The Wine Society because of its excellent pricing, long term partnerships with wine producing families and easy to use website.
I stocked up on superb value Bordeaux wines which I have enjoyed before.
Praise for Wine Society
Great selections. Very useful guidance on choices. Great value and unfailing reliability regarding delivery,
Great value and service over 15 years
I've been a member for 15 years and have received outstanding service and value during that time. Anything from £7 to £8 a bottle to fine wines with guides to members' favourites and reviews for many of the wines. Regular information is sent about different wines from countries all around the world. I never have time to read it all but selective dipping into it has enables me to try so many different wines that I would not have otherwise have experienced. Many have become favourites. Recommended.
