Wine Racks Explored
More often than not, finding unique and imaginative gifts can be an utter nightmare that seems destined to drive you crazy – right up until the last moment, when you finally cave and end up buying chocolate or aftershave for the tenth year in a row. Yet it need not be like that; particularly, if you have a friend or family member who is more than partial to a glass of wine. Why not try a California Wine of the Month gift?
The California Wine Club is a wine club with a difference; rather than being told what to drink by wine conisseurs, the entire programme is set around the concept of friends telling other friends which wines they actually enjoyed. The Club has been established for nearly 20 years, enjoying and sharing wines in the affordable sector of the wine market. The wines chosen for the Club are all from working vineyards that can be found on most store shelves, so there is no worrying about your friend finding something they enjoy – only to discover it is available to private members of a specific vineyard only. The wines are available to all, and the Club guarantees that it has no exclusivity in its choices – if they don’t like it, it doesn’t get used.
The process used by the California Wine of the Month gift is split into three sections, one of which you select depending on your budget and the types of wines your friend or family member enjoys. You can buy the California Wine of the Month gifts in one, three, six and 12 month blocks, with discounts applying for the longer the membership lasts.
The Premier Club is the most affordable of the three options, with one month’s individual gift costing $47.95 – with an entire year reducing down to $540, saving $30 on the cost price. For the length of the Premier Club membership, and sends two bottles of wine per month – these can be of any colour match, or both of the same colour. The price covers the cost of the wine and shipping and handling to anywhere in the United States.
The next level is The Signature Series, which features slightly more exotic and high quality wines. The membership works the same was as it does with Premier, though the wines selected are predominantly red with the occasional white. One month’s membership costs $137, while a year is $1,404, a saving of $240 on the by-the-month price.
A medium level between the two extremes of the Premier Club and the Signature Series is the International Selection. Again, working on the two bottles per month basis, monthly membership costs $84. A year rises to $864, which is a saving of $144. Wines can be red, white or a mix and are from international destinations – an excellent chance to discover a new and foreign wine possibly not previously known of.
The California Wine of the Month gifts need not be, as it were, gifts. You can choose to order these selections for yourself, just entering your details in the reciever address section. You can find out more by visiting wine of the month clubs
