Things to know
- Shipping is extra
- Harry & David coupons are not valid on wine purchases
Honestly, we're kinda stumped. Harry & David is a brand we love! How did these wine clubs end up with such stinky ratings? Well, we think it comes down to a few things that are inherent in how we rate wine clubs here at WineClubReviews.net.
This is a premium level wine club (because they're charging more than $30 per bottle). Our expectations around premium wine clubs have to do with connoisseur-level wine drinkers, and as such this wine club doesn't quite fit our expectations. It's almost like it's a value wine club in premium wine club clothing... "hard-to-find" wines aren't produced in nearly 15,000 case quantities and aren't available in every California grocery store. These are good quality wines, but they're not special wines and the prices aren't anything to write home about.
Ultimately its low rating comes down to the fact that it includes readily-available wines at this price-point. For $25-30 a bottle (you have to consider that shipping is included), we should be getting truly hard-to-find wines from boutique wineries... not Frog's Leap, Artesa, and Artezin.
They do give you a little bit of a price break if you buy their 6-bottle 90-point Rated Wine Club
All of that said, Harry & David is a brand we trust and we know that if you give this wine club as a gift to someone you care about, they will NOT be disappointed.
