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.

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.

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.

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.

A member for 29 years

I have been a member of the wine society for many years (29) and have never had a bad wine, they offer very good value and the delivery service is excellent.
I would and have recommended the society to many of my friends.

A huge varierty of quality wines at a range of prices . I buy around the £8 to £12 wines and they beat the supermarkets hands down at these prices.
Quick free delivery of what you want when you want it makes it ideal for those that love wine be it £8 or £80

I Have two minor criticisms

I only have two minor criticisms - the wine list I’d far too big and complex, over complicating wine choice, and I feel the volume of communications by mail and by email are on the ‘too much’ scale.

I enjoy the wines I choose regularly, but that is a tiny proportion of the overall offering. Delivery service by the Society Van is excellent, but less so by couriers.

Great service

The wine society is a very good place to buy quality, interesting wines. It feels more like a club than a commercial venture. The stock is ever changing and always well curated. Delivery is free for members, and you can nominate which day you would like the wine to arrive.
All in all a very good service.
