MoreWine VineCo Wine of the Month Club

What's in the box: Most likely a VineCo home wine kit, with the juice and additives needed to make a batch, though the site does not say exactly what each shipment contains.

MoreWine is a well-stocked home winemaking retailer. The VineCo Wine of the Month Club is offered under its name, but the main site focuses on the store, not the subscription. The front page is built around harvest season. It covers crushers and destemmers, basket and bladder presses, Speidel variable-volume tanks, testing gear for Brix, pH and SO2, Lalvin yeast and nutrients, oak, and bottling supplies. Wine Kits is one of the main categories, and VineCo is a known maker of home wine kits, so the club most likely centers on kits sent on a schedule. The site does not clearly explain how the club works, including how often kits ship, which VineCo lines are included, whether you can skip or cancel, or what a delivery costs. Ask MoreWine about these points before you sign up. The store side is a real strength. If a kit needs extra yeast, sulfite, corks, bottles or a fermenter, you can buy them from the same shop, and the site points out that orders over a set amount qualify for free shipping. That suits hobbyists who want one place for everything from fermenting to bottling. Newcomers who want a simple, clearly explained recurring box will find the club's terms unclear.
