Cellars Wine Club Review

Last Updated: 9/22/2010

What to Expect from Cellars Wine Clubs

Cellars Wine Club goes out of its way to find palate-pleasing wines for all different types of wine-buying customers. They’re a savvy marketing firm who really wants you to believe in the wine clubs they provide. You can expect to receive a great selection of wine from Cellars Wine Club and while you won’t love every wine they send you (that’s just impossible), you will enjoy most of them and probably some new favorites along the way.

Why we recommend Cellars Wine Clubs

Among other things, Cellars Wine Club is only a wine club. They don’t have a vested interest securing great deals for their private-label customers (because as far as we know they’re not in that business), they don’t have a publication to run and worry about which wineries they’re promoting, and they do have a vested interest in keeping their subscribers happy as its their only revenue stream. We think this keeps them thinking about the best wines to pick every single month for every single wine club.

Cellars Wine Club is Green Company

Cellars Wine Club says they are a green company and backs this claim with a page on their website saying they are doing their part by recognizing the importance of our planet. They claim to use fully sustainable, high performance wine and beverage packaging that is:

• 100% Post Consumer Fiber
• 100% Recyclable
• 100% Compostable
• 100% US Manufactured

The molded fiber trays used for your wine shipment are a great choice for our environment! Here's Why...

• Wine packaging is manufactured using recycled material - old newsprint and corrugated cardboard. In fact, much of it is collected in the communities where wine trays are sold - further reducing the carbon footprint.
• The manufacture of the wine trays is one of the few in the U.S. that doesn't discharge waste water. All of the water used in the process is recycled losing only a small portion to evaporation. water is not wasted!
• The manufacture’s primary energy input is clean, renewable hydro power.
• Energy recovered projects have reduced natural gas consumption by 20% - heat is recycled to dry the wine trays.

All these elements add up to a fully sustainable package. After you receive your wine shipment, simply compost the trays or toss it in the recycle bin.
