Barclay's Wine Review

Last Updated: 9/2/2010

What to Expect from Barclay’s Wine Clubs

Barclay’s Wine is wine company hungry for great deals on wine that they can pass along to their customers. As such, they’re competitive on pricing and structure with the Big Guys in the Quarterly Case Club market. If you like the format of Direct Wines (WSJ and Zagat Wine Clubs) but maybe not their selections, you should give Barclay’s a try because they’ll have a different set of wines available (though both companies seem to buy from the same winery conglomerate in Washington state). Barclay’s also has a club called The Finest Bottle which is a unique offering out there because it’s 4 bottles a month at the same great prices. We assume the wine sent out from these clubs are mostly the same depending on monthly inventory.
