If you love to drink the “nectar of the gods” then joining a wine of the month club can provide you with more than just a few benefits. Many people are choosing wine as their hobby because it is considered slightly more refined than “kegger parties” or “making homemade lye soap”.

This is one of the reasons that more and more people are choosing to sign up as members of wine clubs. Whether your wine-loving participation truly makes you one of the cultured elite could be a matter of your own opinion, but hey after a few rounds of tasting several special burgundies does it really matter?

A lot of vineyards and bottlers are choosing to promote themselves by starting their own wine clubs. If you’re interested in joining a wine club yourself, then read on; I’ve listed the five biggest benefits to joining a wine club – there’s more to it than the opportunity to drink some wine you may not be able to come across at your local grocery store or liquor shop.

1. Your wine will arrive in an inconspicuous brown wrapper; perfect if you happen to have nosy neighbors.

• Wine clubs deliver wines via UPS in plain brown boxes. Your nosy neighbor won’t be able to see what’s being delivered to you – a good thing, since it’s none of their business!

2. Impress your friends. You’ll be able to amass a wine collection including some harder to find bottles at a low price. You can point to that garage Petite Syrah in your collection and tell friends that it sells at auction for hundreds of dollars (after all, they don’t have to know that you didn’t pay anywhere near that much for that bottle).

3. Make Money….You can now stage your own wine tasting at home and hey, feel free to make a few bucks by charging a small fee for the food and drink served. You can use the money to buy a totally cool wine rack.

4. Saves Time and Effort…A wine club selection keeps your own shelves well stocked, and this beats the heck out of dashing to the nearest grocery to find a $5 bottle to serve unexpected dinner guests. Come to think of it, if they are that unexpected, they might deserve the $2.50 special at the end of the grocery shelves after all.

5. Ha-Ha Time….Wine club benefits include the ability to play dozens of new practical jokes…

• You will be the only one who knows the exact features and description of the wine in the bottle, so if you decide to challenge friends to a wine taste off…….hey, you’ll beat the experts. A really good wine connoisseur may know the aromas and flavors but he sure as heck will not know exactly when and where it was bottled…..only you will know that it is from McQuiqqleburry Lantern Vineyards….

• Trick the wine snobs in your life by refilling bottles of the good stuff with some inexpensive plonk from the grocery store. Give everyone else the good stuff.

Then you can watch the wine snobs raving about how wonderful the $3 wine from the grocery store is, right along with everyone else (who are drinking something good). If you can keep a straight face until the bottles are empty, you’ll have a riot once you reveal the prank.
