I'm partial to a few bottles of wine a week, any ideas of any decent online wine clubs

I'm a member of Laithwaites.

I used to get the Four Seasons package.

I find these days it's only good value when they send you offers (and the initial sign up offer is decent value).


These days those I'm happy enough with supermarket 3 for £10 deals.

3 for £10!
I thought those days were well gone.
2 for £10 is the norm.

.
I'd second this. I've not done it with wine, as that isn't really my thing but I've done the sign up offers for about 4 different beer clubs and then immediately cancelled the account as soon as the introduction box arrives. I imagine wine clubs will do similar offers.

There is only one good wine club - the Wine Society, which charges £40 for life membership (currently including a £20 credit towards your first order). Thereafter you buy whatever you want, but quality and pricing are consistently better than average.

In my experience all the others are just complicated marketing exercises calculated to sell pretty ordinary wine at above-average prices.

There is a website called http://www.supermarketwine.com which provides a digest of recent wine reviews sorted by retailer. i.e. if you are going to Tesco or Majestic or wherever you can find recent recommendations.
