Juliet Wine reviews and discussion

I may have received a faulty product because I don't see anyone else mentioning this in their review. But the box came all disheveled- the bottom was already popping out of the box. I thought I had fixed it and brought it to a friend's bday at the beach and the whole box fell apart in the sand. The cold bag got sandy, the valve wouldn't stay in place as we poured, so it became a 2 person job. The rose itself wasn't my favorite, I prefer a dryer rose- this one leaned more sweet. I was happy to have purchased as a Thingdrop because I would not have paid full price for the presentation. Pretty bummed with this one!

I got Juliet with a Thingdrop. I was really excited about the shelf life... 6 weeks! WOW! SO I needed to put it to the test. TLDR: I am a boxed wine convert. I'd suggest sharing Juliet with friends -- it held its own and I would buy it again, but it's not the most interesting wine to drink week after week (but what's great is you can, because it did stay fresh!). Weekly feedback below: Week 1: bright, but very mild in flavor. Very drinkable, but also nothing to write home about. It’s definitely a wine you can have a lot of glasses of. Paired with spicy Asian style noodles. Week 2: even milder, almost creamy but NOT oaky. Still tastes fresh, but less intense. Paired with crackers and cheese. Week 3: creamy again, very gentle. Still not really noteworthy. Paired with Mexican. Week 4: Refreshing. But I didn't pair it with anything. My evening was also maybe a little sad... I standing in the kitchen, cleaning up, and just sipped boxed wine as I worked. I'm glad it was not Franzia. Week 5: Starting to get sick of it... The flavors were still not that noteworthy, mild on the palate, but it's not bad. Just uneventful. Paired with leftovers off of the kids plates - mac & cheese, carrot sticks, half grapes, and impossible nuggs. Week 6: Still going... I tried it and haven't finished the bottle (bag?). Flavor remains the same, I'm impressed.

Turns out it might be hot-girl-boxed-wine summer?? Let's be serious, no one sees a boxed wine and thinks, "I want to try that!" But I think Juliet Wine will change people's perspective, the rose was delicious, and I love that it stays good for so long after opening. I've never considered the material usage/waste that goes into making glass bottles and appreciate Juliet for bringing it to my attention.

I picked up the Pinot and it did not disappoint! It's light for a red and pairs well with a meal or on its own. Love the look of the container. It doesn't feel like an eyesore sitting on my counter. I'm feeling like this is the perfect thing to tote to someone's house for a kiki.

Let me start by saying this brand created a GREAT web experience. It's beautiful, easy to use, and leaves you wanting more. However, I cannot say the same about the actual product. I purchased the Dry Rose, and honestly didn't like it. I am a big wine drinker but am not overly picky. But drinking this wine was a bit disappointing. When it arrived, the box was damaged and looked like it had been already opened. But I figured things like that happen. But when I finally got around to pouring a glass, the taste felt off to me. It was overly bitter and didn't leave me wanting another glass (which is unusual for me). But I do like that the brand is sustainable and would like to know more about how each box is 84% less waste than glass bottles--that intrigues me.

First off, I love the packaging. Definitely the cutest boxed wine I’ve ever purchased. Second, LOVE the sustainability efforts - everything is recyclable and Juliet will help making sure their bags are recycled properly! Third, the wine itself is excellent. The rosé is not too dry or too sweet, it’s just right. Easy to drink and enjoy outside on a warm spring day. Very happy overall!

MASSIVE letdown. Easily the worst greenwashing I've seen from a Thingtesting listed brand. One of the biggest draws of Juliet for me was their commitment to sustainability. A quarter of the site is dedicated to it. I was shipped a massive box filled with styrofoam packing peanuts. The wine box itself was wrapped in several feet of duct tape and bubble wrap. Entirely doing too much and kind of insane considering the wine box is literally paper and plastic. I've had actual glass bottles shipped to me with less protection. Look, this is a D2C brand!! Shipping methods and materials are a core part of the product experience. You cannot sell a "sustainable" product encased in a pound of plastic and styrofoam. As for the actual wine, it was just okay. With shipping, the Sauv Blanc works out to around $30 per .75L and frankly, it does not come remotely close to competing with $30 bottles of Sauv Blanc. All this said, I love the box format for my lifestyle. I cook with wine frequently, but not at a volume to warrant the use of whole bottle. I don't drink much anymore, and many of my friends are California sober. The box format prevents a lot of half used wine bottles from going to waste. And its beautiful, to boot! To close, I am ultimately rooting for Juliet. If I see Juliet in stores, I will be picking it up for cooking or entertaining use. Until then, I will not be repurchasing from their site. On a side note, I looked through their retail distribution and noticed that they're targeting "shoppy-shops" and boutique beverage fronts, but I have a deep conviction that their branding and product would be more popular with the mass market. The Target moms would eat this up. To the VCs backing Juliet, I implore you to consider increasing production and rolling Juliet out at big-box stores. Juliet is too gimmicky for the luxury market. If I'm in a gourmet food store, I may buy Juliet out of curiosity. But it would end up being just that once because it just does not perform as a Sauv Blanc at that price point. The form factor is just not compelling enough to warrant a repurchase to most. But if I was a wine mom that came across Juliet in Target or Whole Foods? Different story. We are entering a recession and the "lipstick effect" is in full swing. The average American will splurge on a "luxury" boxed wine. Plus, sans shipping, the retail cost knocks down the price per "bottle" to ~$20, which is a lot more palatable and accessible.

Great design on the packaging - the spout was easy to figure out. The red wine impressed everyone who tried it. Perfect for book club with the girls!

I’ve tried many boxed wines before, and I am in no way a wine snob nor do I know much about what makes “good wine”. But I can tell you when a wine tastes good to me and when it doesn’t. This tastes like a decent Sauvignon Blanc! It kept really well in my fridge and the taste was consistent throughout the 6 weeks I enjoyed it. Yes, I truly did take the full 6 weeks to finish the box. When the wine arrived, I did have to sign and prove I was over 21, and that is typical for alcohol purchases shipped to a home. Keep that in mind if purchased online! The box was a little damaged, but only the top. The design is beautiful and I appreciated the string on the top that I could use to carry, if needed. Perfect for a picnic! I don’t think I opened and/or positioned the nozzle correctly, but it still poured smoothly.

Nice packaging and got the rose, it was crisp, clear, and surprisingly drinkable. Really loved the wine, and the handle makes it a go to picnic solution that is very easy to pack. Great one for the warmer weather and hopefully beach days ☀️

Obsessed with this wine! I ordered it after seeing an online ad, and it's my new go-to wine for drinking at home. Fits great in my fridge and I like having one glass at a time with no stress, it stays fresh for a while. Tasty, pretty good quality - I usually drink La Crema I thought this Pinot was better, maybe slightly lighter.

Delicious wine and I am obsessed with this packaging! It’s super low sugar and they don’t use any artificial ingredients so I find that I can drink more of it than other high-end wines, which I love. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the Pinot Noir.

I don’t drink often and don’t consume very much when I do so I loved that with the boxed rosé I didn't have to feel pressured to finish an entire bottle or figure out how to store a partial bottle since this stayed fresh in my fridge for about 6 weeks. The packaging was so cute and didn’t take up a ton of room in my fridge. The actual taste was pleasant. If I could find Juliet wines in stores I would absolutely buy it regularly but as an apartment dweller who lives in a building where front door access to the building is not possible for delivery drivers, the hassle of having to sign for the wine after days of missed delivery attempts just wouldn’t be worth it for me again.

I honestly do not have a superior wine palette, so all I can say about the taste is that it is drinkable, and I did drink it. Apparently I did not drink the pinot fast enough because after a few days it did start to taste like grape juice. The sauv is nice and lasts longer in the fridge, but if we're making wine in a pretty box meant to be seen, it's a shame it's stuck in my fridge. Personally I'm more for the bottle in experience, design, and flavor.

I got this with the thingdrop and got all 3 flavors and brought to a 4th of July function. Here is the feedback I recedibed: Well rose was sort of sweet but color nice- Sauvignon blanc was fine when compared to the decoy brand which is a good one. I thought Pinot noir was very full bodied and satisfying served at room temp. Others chilled. Easy to open and beautiful packaging. Button on nozzle too small and hard to hold especially for geriatric set Cool design, nozzle piece was a little small and hard to push for old people.

The rosé and Sauvignon blanc wines are ok, fruity but dry. Packaging is gorgeous and would make for a nice gift, but too expensive for an everyday wine, there are cheaper, better wines with less fancy packaging out there.

I tried the PInot Noir and the Rose. The wine is fine. It's drinkable, on par with an $8 supermarket bottle. IMO the upcharge isn't worth it for the very nice packaging.

In fairness to the wine, it's definitely better than any boxed wine I've tried so far - but the bar for that is pretty low. I tried the sauvignon blanc and it tasted pretty good, with a crisp taste and smooth finish, but there was a little bit of a weird aftertaste and overall I don't find myself reaching for this one even though it's sitting open in my fridge. Definitely appreciate the fact that it lasts a long time, but I have guests over regularly and don't really run into wine sitting out too long. I want to get on board for the sustainability aspect, but overall there are bottled wines for $7-8 at the local grocery that taste better and are more affordable. I'll probably finish this one, but don't see myself repurchasing.

The wine is great and the packaging is genius! Huge fan and it's also a hit to bring over to friends' places.
