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.

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.

Thank you so much for this kind review! We are very pleased to hear that your experience reflects the level of service we expect members to receive.

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.

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.

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.
