Searching for The Best Wine Club? Barclay's Wine Club

Yesterday, in my first post about the Best Wine Club, I gave you some details about a great introductory offer for new members from Zagat Wine Club. Today, I’ve got another terrific option for you.

At only five years old, Barclay’s Wine Club is  relatively new player in the market for gifts for wine lovers.  We admit that we are unabashed fans of Barclay’s – their motto says it all: in vino veritas, which roughly translates to “Truth in Wine”.

Barclay’s has a super simple, good looking website and regularly does great introductory programs. Instead of a lot of hype and pretty flash images, Barclay’s lets their wine do the talking for them. (Don’t forget to join our mailing list to receive notices of these great promotions as soon as they are announced!)

Several of my compadres in The Buffalo Wine and Dine Dinner Club have been longtime fans of Barclay’s Wine Club.  They found that the wines selected by the wine club are generally of high quality and a very good value for the price. I’ve had the opportunity to taste a few bottles of the red wine selections myself and was very pleased with them all.

Barclay’s has a variety of clubs, but The Barclay’s Wine Experience certainly deserves its place on the Best Wine Club list.  Recently launched in August, 2009, it’s an ideal choice for wine lovers who are just beginning to learn about wine, or someone who is looking for unusual varietals or regional wines not usually found in the grocery stores.   Boutique wineries are tracked down by Barclay’s wine experts in the US as well as many international locations.  The wines selected by Barclay’s experts are interesting, offering a variety of standard varietals along with a few that many wine lovers may not have tasted before and are generally very high quality. 

Barclay’s Wine Club has the right idea.  Understanding that people may be skeptical about ordering from a wine club, Barclay’s has ‘put it’s money where its mouth is’, so to speak.   To prove to new members what an outstanding wine club Barclay’s has established, the introductory case is only $69.95 (that’s less than $6 per bottle!), with delivery directly to your home or office at a reasonable $19.95.  Barclay’s Wine Club includes tasting notes on each wine and has made the offer even better by including a FREE Professional Cordless Electric Corkscrew valued at $39.95.  They sent me one of these to try out myself, and ever since, Jay has abandoned our trustyt Rabbit and old waiter’s corkscrew to a drawer someplace, gathering dust.

We also like that Barclay’s Wine Club members receive one on a quarterly basis, rather than a monthly program like many other clubs.  Members can receive one full case of wine four times per year plus a holiday case and always have the option to skip a case or cancel anytime.  Cases include at least six different wines and you can chose all reds, all white or a mixed case.  In yet one more sign of it’s confidence in their own products, Barlclay’s guarantees that you will never pay for a wine that you don’t like. No questions. No issues. No problem.

Sure sounds like a perfect way to make somebody else’s holidays a little bit merrier or give yourself a great wine gift.  Order Barclay’s Wine Experience right now by clicking here.

P.S. I know that after you taste some of this wine and use that FREE wine electric wine opener, you’ll want to thank me. Remember to come back and post a comment what you thought of the Barclay’s Wine Club, okay?
