best wine delivery services and subscriptions

The build-up to Christmas is busy enough without having to remember to buy things before we run out completely. You know, those essentials like a monthly subscription to ELLE, the latest expert-approved products via a beauty box, eco-friendly loo roll, and, perhaps most important of all — wine.

Thankfully, your wine rack can stay reassuringly stocked up year-round with our expert-approved guide to the best wine delivery services — including regular subscriptions and one-off drops.

There’s certainly no shortage of wine retailers, both online and IRL, but knowing where to start, or what to make of it all, can be intimidating. So, we’ve found the clubs that will deliver everything from a modest single bottle, right through to an all-new line-up of 12 bottles every three months to expand your repertoire.

Here are our experts' favourites at a glance, but scroll on for their detailed reviews:

How we test wine delivery services

Whether shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect gift, we've rounded up the best wine delivery services in the UK to bring the shiraz to your sofa or the chablis to that cosy night in.

Our experts tested 43 bottles of wine over nine services, giving each a score to see which offered the most premium experience.

Best wine subscription

Laithwaites Wine Subscription

Laithwaites Wine Subscription

Our winning wine subscription delivers an impressive 12 bottles of expertly chosen wines to your door every three months. You can choose from all-red, all-white, or leave it in their hands, with a mix of seasonal favourites.

The best bit? Laithwaites throws in a few goodies to sweeten the deal, including free glassware and prosecco. It also makes economical sense, as you’ll save over £100 by buying in a bundle. A no brainer, non? We loved discovering new drops, including this tropical sauvignon blanc from New Zealand’s sunny Nelson region, which made a welcome change to our regular risk-averse Marlborough.

Runner-up wine subscription

Cheese & Red Wine Club

Cheese & Red Wine Club

We all deserve a little treat now and then. For some, that could be a regular flower delivery, for others this organic cheese and wine pairing may hit the spot. The box contains a bottle of vegan-friendly, carbon-neutral Sicilian red (think jammy fruit and a big meaty finish), and a rotating guest cheese to accompany it. We tried the deliciously salty Tomme from The Ethical Dairy, which we’d describe as a British take on an alpine-style comté.

You can order it as a one-off delivery, which would also make a great gift, or on regular subscription (we vote for weekly!). We could never tire of seeing the little box arrive at our door.

The Whisky Exchange Organic Wine Case

The Whisky Exchange Organic Wine Case

The Whisky Exchange is our go-to for re-stocking the bar cart, so we're not surprised it will replenish our wine rack to the same high standard.

The six-strong case holds a completely organic line-up of European whites, reds and rosés. Highlights include the elegant merlot-dominate Chateau Cru Godard (perfect alongside Sunday roast beef!), and a mineral-rich riesling.

Selfridges All Things Pink Mixed Wine Case

Selfridges’ all-pink edit features the best names in rosé (we’re talking Whispering Angel, Cloudy Bay and FIOL).

Aside from the obligatory Provencal blush, it takes you on a journey through Spain, Italy and New Zealand, and even includes a bottle of prosecco too, so you should discover a few new favourites along the way.

Harvey Nichols Signature Mix Trio

Looking for a chic wedding gift for the happy couple? We think this tidy trio is a steal, and it’s presented in Harvey Nichols’ iconic monochrome packaging for extra brownie points.

The own-brand line-up (one white, red and rosé) is sourced from top-quality French vineyards, and includes a fresh chablis, summer-ready, floral-flecked blush and an unoaked, satisfyingly savoury rouge.

Virgin Wines Crowd-Pleasers Mixed Wine Case

Virgin Wines Crowd-Pleasers Mixed Wine Case

Don’t know where to start? Virgin’s carefully curated case is shaped by the hundreds of customer reviews in its database, to ensure a crowd-pleasing selection that works out at a very reasonable £9.99 a bottle.

You’ll find classic riojas, spicy shiraz and everyday pinot grigio, as well as the slightly more unusual Chilean sauvignon blanc, which our experts thought offered bags of complexity.

Best sparkling wine case

Adnams Fizz Mixed Case

Adnams Fizz Mixed Case

We don’t need an excuse to drink fizz every day, and if you’re of the same mindset, this mixed case of Italian bubbly should keep you stocked up nicely. You’ll find a mix of white and rosé spumantes, which the panel found ultra-satisfying for the festive season. Saluté!
