It's a none profit but we all know how that can be abused with high salaries etc. But I have had some good and unusual wines and although they are as variable as other shippers and the reviews are not... See more

Written by the company
Founded in 1874, The Wine Society is the world’s oldest member-owned community of wine lovers. We put our members before profit to ensure fairer bottle prices for both the people that enjoy them, and for those who make them. Because we don’t need to keep external shareholders happy, we’re able to put profits back into lower prices and services, so our members get exceptional quality in every bottle they buy.

Order always as selected, no replacement surprises. With the wine society you always know if you have a problem with your wine they have a no quibble refund policy.
Product excellent. Delivery by DHL awful.
Delivery on a Tuesday was promised by DHL for an event on Saturday, . Then a text was sent by DHL on Tuesday that it was "delayed" and would be delivered on the next working day. It did not arrive until the following Monday.
Thankfully TWS managed to deliver a replacement case at short notice when I became anxiousand contacted them on Thursday.
Champagne was excellent and good value.
It is a superb organisation
It is a superb organisation, staffed by an excellent team. The choice - and price - of good wines is second to none.
Wonderful selection to choose from
Wonderful selection to choose from, prompt delivery regardless of order size (even a single bottle).
I love the Wine Society!
I love the Wine Society. For an organisation to provide an outstanding range of wines at reasonable prices and provide free delivery is a tribute to their business ethic. I’ve never had an off wine, but know that if I did it would be replaced without question. In an age of supermarket and online dominance, thank goodness that a quality supplier of wines can survive and prosper.

I have been a member for more than a decade and cannot recommend The Wine Society highly enough. Great wines at all price points - if you are buying wine under £10 a bottle, there is no-one better.
Quality and prompt response.

A 30 year member!
I’ve been a member of The Wine Society for 30 years and can advise any new members that their journey through the World of wine will be significantly enriched through their membership. I can think of very few occasions when a Wine Society purchase has failed to delight. My most recent purchase of South African whites was delivered quickly, in perfect condition, and free of charge as always. It’s a great service. I probably buy around 90% of my wine from the Society - a great deal of it through their En Primeur and First Release offers. I find this a fascinating way to buy wine, - and more recently I have been making use of the Members Reserves facility to have my wines maturing in perfect conditions until I’m ready to take delivery.
By now any reader will have gathered that I’m a big fan of The Wine Society - and anyone wondering whether they should take the plunge and join will be utterly convinced. You won’t be disappointed; - I promise!

I often find the wine better than expected although occasionally a rather expensive bottle has disappointed. But infrequently so isquickly forgotten!
Now that they outsource deliveries I wait till they have a free slot for delivery by their own excellent men. The other men were abysmal.
When asking for advice I find them most helpful even to the point ofpassing me to someone more knowledgeable.
In short they are my favourite supplier although I do shop elsewhere following a tip from a friend. On occasion.

I welcome the regular special offers
I welcome the regular special offers as well as the normal catalogue range. I do not need to shop anywhere else for good wines
Good service
Another great delivery from TWS
Another great delivery from The Wine Society. The best value for money generally in the UK as it's a cooperative. A wide range of wines from sub-£6 bargains to classed growth claret and more. Always good quality. In this case the delivery was as requested, with the wine left in a safe spot.
The wines are splendid
The wines are splendid, the choice of using a delivery contractor was a mistake. the wines survived being dropped in the hall in a broken box delivered by a driver who didn't know if he was at the right address and spoke only limited English. I usually opt for the Society delivery and will always do that in future
