Why it works as a gift
You can match a club to a person: a Pinot club for the Pinot lover, an international club for the explorer. Prepaid gift plans make it simple.
Value
About $25 a bottle with shipping included: fair for small-production wines, though not cheap.
Downsides
You don’t pick the bottles, and the number of similar tiers can be confusing at first.
Our verdict
A thoughtful choice for a themed gift. For your own drinking, a club where you choose bottles may be better value.
