Vinesse

Something has been happening to cheap wine in the U.S. It’s been getting worse! We used to be able to happily find great daily-drinkers at the grocery store for under $15. Now we have to spend up to $22 for the same wines and HOPE they’ll be as good as earlier vintages.

But the American Cellars Wine Club (ACWC) hasn’t followed suit and is delivering incredible value at just $12-15 per bottle. We’ve now tasted many bottles of wine from the ACWC and we’re generally very impressed. Whether or not you like the taste of a wine is very subjective and if you have a very picky or discerning palate there are few wine clubs you’ll be satisfied with. If you like good quality wine, which is not subjective, and a great price, this wine club is an excellent opportunity for you!

Unlike some wine clubs out there, you get a lot of perks for joining American Cellars. In your first shipment you’ll get a great little Wine Exploration guide which includes how to identify flavors in your wine, wine and food pairing suggestions by varietal, and even how to host a wine tasting party in your own home.

With each shipment you’ll also get tasting notes and pairing suggestions for those wines AND a comment card which you can either mail back or go online to submit your ratings of the wines you’ve received. Vinesse (the company that runs American Cellars Wine Club) uses this information to make even better buying decisions in the future.

Another great perk from Vinesse is incredible opportunities to buy more wine. In addition to being able to reorder wines from your wine club shipment (when they’re available), you’ll also be offered exclusive deep discounts on other wines. You can sample your way through International wines, the Pacific Northwest, Merlots from around the world, and many more choices. For an even deeper discount, you can enroll in their Grab Bag program where you’ll get a mystery case of wine. Sounds scary? It shouldn’t! The same great wines ACWC sends to its customers end up in these mystery cases when there’s extra inventory on hand.

The flagship wine club of Vinesse. Known for quality; trusted source for almost 20 years. Discover delicious wines from the world's best boutique wineries. No commitment, no purchase requirements, and every bottle is guaranteed to please.

Many of these wines were hand-crafted gems produced by little known or small wineries. Or they were very limited production wines the major buyers wouldn't touch because there simply wasn't a large enough supply.

But they are all compelling wines, and ones the average wine lover wouldn't find anywhere else unless they happened on the winery or were a close personal friend of the wine maker.

Sit back and get ready for some fun. Each shipment includes recipes that pair wonderfully with the wines, information on the wines themselves, wine country touring tips, hints on how to enjoy your wine to the fullest, and more.

You're entitled to special discounts on extra wine, reorders of your particular favorites, and the occasional exclusive deals we arrange for our members with partners, like wine racks or invitation-only tasting events. We'll let you know by mail or email whenever these extra offers come up, and you can decide if you want to take us up on these goodies.

Today we are one of the largest and most respected wine clubs in the country. But we haven't forgotten our first promise - to introduce our friends (a bit chummy, I know, but here at American Cellars Wine Club when you are a member, you are a friend) to special wines.
