Vinebox review

Vinebox is a tasting kit rather than a bottle club. Each month it launches one themed collection on the 1st, with six sommelier-curated wines in 100 ml glass tubes, plus a sommelier-led virtual tasting video, tasting notes and a pairing guide. Each collection is available for that month only. Shipping is a flat $5 for ground delivery, and Vinebox gives 15% off orders of 5 or more Boxes of the Month, which suits group tastings. Subscriptions come in 3, 6 and 12-month options that work as gifts. The trade-off is volume: six 100 ml tubes add up to 600 ml, less than one standard 750 ml bottle, so the cost per glass is far higher than at any bottle club here. Vinebox's subscription page did not load from our location for the price check, so its price is marked pending. Choose it for learning and gifting, not for stocking a wine rack.
