Vinebox reviews and discussion

I purchased the “24 nights of wine” advent calendar and it’s very fun. The wines themselves are not knockouts, but it’s better than wine advent calendars I’ve purchased from Aldi or Costco in past years. The boxes are beautiful and festive. Enjoyment of the advent calendar aside, I would absolutely not purchase wine seriously from this brand though for day-to-day drinking.

I really wanted to like this. It's a great idea for people who want to try wines without the intimidation of buying and drinking an entire bottle. My first problem with it was that the wines themselves weren't very good; most of them had a Vivino rating of 3-3.5. If I'm paying $80 for a box of 100mL wine vials, at least a couple of them should be a Caymus or Shafer quality. The second problem was that the wines spoiled quickly, barely lasting a month even in a wine fridge. I'll be sticking with LastBottle and SommSelect until someone can do this concept right.

Such a fun way to sample wine! Wine can be overwhelming to understand. I also don’t want to commit to a whole bottle. This is the great way for me to open one tube for a perfect glass.

Such a fun idea, and an absolutely perfect gift!
