The downside to many monthly subscriptions is that you are committed to paying for a shipment every month. At Club W you can postpone at any point. If you still have wine from last month, or maybe you’re going on an alcohol free cleanse, not to worry. Just go to your profile and click one button to skip a month.
#SpoonTip: Want your wine sooner than your next shipment date? No problem. You can order more at any time.
5. Order online so you don’t have to go to the store.

Why walk to the grocery store when you can get your exercise in from opening all the bottles you ordered from Club W? The wine is delivered right to your door for maximum convenience. Gone are the days of lugging home heavy bottles of wine, or paying for that uber home because the liquor store is too far.
#SpoonTip: Make sure you, or someone over the age of 21, is home for the delivery, or you will have to go pick it up from the closest Fed Ex store.
6. Club W has wines you can’t get at your local store.
