Wine Types and Quality
Amazing Clubs specializes in both red and white premium products from boutique wineries. Previous selections from its Wine of The Month Club have included products from Italy, Australia, Chile, Portugal, France, Spain, Argentina, Germany, South Africa, and Napa Valley. Its wines are selected by a panel of experts who focus on aroma, complexity, and clarity. According to its website, many of its featured wineries have been recognized in international wine-tasting competitions.
Membership Options
You can choose between 5 membership types: ongoing, seasonal, and 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month club.
As their names suggest, the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month clubs operate for a pre-defined time period. With ongoing membership, you’ll continue to receive your shipments until you cancel. And if you choose a seasonal plan, you’ll receive new selections in spring, summer, fall, and winter.
All its bottles are 75cl and you can choose whether you would like 2 bottles of red, 2 bottles of white, or 1 of each. However, the plans do not allow you to specify which wine you’d like to receive each month.

Giving the Gift of Wine
When you give a membership package as a gift, Amazing Clubs will offer a They’ll Love It! guarantee, which involves sending the recipient an email of its current selections each month. Based on this information, he or she can then decide to skip that month’s shipment—for any reason—and wait for the following month’s selection.
When sending a gift, you can also send a personalized announcement, which will include a message for the recipient and details about their membership and delivery schedule. You can send this announcement via mail or email, or print it from your computer.
As well as allowing you to purchase subscriptions on behalf of your friends or family members, Amazing Clubs offers gift certificates, with amounts ranging from $25 to $1,000.
If you’re organizing a large-scale event, the company also operates a corporate gift option.
Customer Service
If you have a question about your membership, you can contact Amazing Clubs via phone, email, or live chat. Its customer support hours are between 9 am and 9 pm (ET).
Your monthly delivery will include the Bunch of Grapes newsletter, which includes winemaker profiles, information about your selection, tasting profiles, and histories of wineries. There is also a detailed selection of FAQs on its website, which answered all the questions we had about the service.
Bottom Line
If you want to treat your wine-loving friends, family, or colleagues, taking out a gift subscription to an Amazing Clubs’ wine plan could be the right choice for you. Although it is possible to find cheaper alternatives, Amazing Clubs does offer a number of attractive features that may justify its price tag, such as the ability to pause shipments and free shipping on all its plans.
