It’s going to be a very Happy Christmas around my house this year! Always looking for bargains, and always looking for any excuse to pop the cork on a bottle of wine, I’ve located several terrific deals that easily could qualify as the Best Wine Club this season. They all have earned the admiring moniker that online wine “geeks” call “Quality-Price Ratio” or, for short, “QPR.” These wine clubs all offer great introductory promotions for their wine clubs including some cool freebie gifts so that even after the wine is gone, you have something to keep besides the empty wine bottles. Those freebie gifts and the introductory prices also make these wine clubs really terrific for holiday gift giving.
Now that you’ve got some good reasons for joining a wine club or sending one as a gift to your favorite wine lover, let’s begin with one of the newer clubs, The Zagat Wine Club. As any true foodie already knows, The Zagat Guide is a publication – one of the leading names in the gourmet world as a trusted resource for restaurant reviews. Zagat’s reputation is built on trust. The organization has provided restaurant and travel reviews for over 30 years. The Today Show calls Zagat “The most trusted guide” and Vogue says they are “Fabulously reliable.” Clearly, Zagat is not going to put it’s name on a wine club that sends out swill to its members
To keep the highly valuable branding of their name, Zagat’s contracted with Direct Wines Inc., a division of Laithwaite’s, to partner in the new Zagat Wine Club. Laithwaite’s experts select the wines and fulfill the wine club orders and shipments. Laithwaite’s isn’t a lightweight in this wine club field. They are a very successful wine distributor in the UK, and also provides wines for the two biggest and possibly best wine clubs in the European market, The Sunday Times Wine Club and Tesco Wine Club. If Zagat’s has trusted Laithwaite, I’m feeling very good that I’m going to get some good vino.
In fact, Zagat’s Wine Club is so sure that their partnership with Laithwaite’s is sure winner that they’ve come up with an introductory offer that puts it at the top of the list as one of this years best wine clubs. You get a case of high-quality wine for $69.99 (that’s less than $6 per bottle), plus 4 good looking, professional-quality wine glasses and extensive tasting notes to help you learn about the wines. They even arranged to keep shipping and handling costs down to $19.99 for the case.
Wines are selected from around the world, so you will probably discover some new varietals or a wine region you’ve never tried before. Zagat’s Wine Club offers you a choice of all reds, all whites or a mix of 4 whites and 8 reds. Not surprisingly, Zagat has included a 100% satisfaction guarantee and has fast and efficient delivery directly to your home or office.
Since the holidays are fast approaching, place your order soon for delivery by Christmas or for a great way to celebrate the New Year, so join Zagat Wine Club Now. And don’t forget to come back here to let me know what you think of the Zagat Wine Club.
