Oneline wine clubs?

Anybody here have any experience with online wine clubs? Looking for a gift for my parents. Something about $30 a month for about 3 months. They prefer reds, but also enjoy white wine.

Oneline?


Have you had a bit to much wine tonight?

I wouldn't recommend it. Not only are many a sham, $30/mo isn't likely to buy you many bottles of interest. I think you'd be better off just buying a case of their favorite wine.

That said, if you are really interested, you might want to seek out a local wine club. Most cities have a group of wine enthusiasts that put together recommended bottles every month or so. The bigger clubs will actually buy the bottles and make them available for pick-up. It has the added bonus of being able to discuss these bottles at the wine clubs if your parents are so inclined.

That's my take.
