My Bright Cellars Review & Experience
Love the wine quiz! It asked good questions, was fun to complete, and didn’t take a lot of my time. My box arrived quickly and was packaged very chicly with cute little bottle info cards and a wine wisdom mini booklet. I love all this. I received all of the wines that I matched with from my quiz plus 2 more.
They boast that they find unique and hidden gems from small vineyards from all over the world, but all the wines in my box seemingly have the same website. Although they are all different URLs, as you can see, they are the same, so I emailed them & this is what they said. “Because everything we do is in-house – from designing labels, creating brand names, and sourcing wines – our wines will all lead back to us (why the websites look similar)! Once we source the grapes, we handle everything from there to ensure our wines are tailor-made to fit what our members are looking for.“
This is great info to know when choosing a wine club. Some people love this, others don't. I personally don't mind either way as long as the wine is great and the price is good. Both are found here with Bright Cellars!
This leads me to my next point, I LOVE the labels on every single bottle. A cool label is important to me, especially if I’m serving the wine at a party or with friends. All these have great labels.
Wrap Up
So far I have tried a couple of the bottles and they are good. Can’t tell if I would pay $24 for them though, luckily through this wine subscription I only paid $13 for each bottle. I’m usually a “no more than $15 a bottle” type girl. So if I spend $24 at a store, it better be amazing. I am willing to spend more on wine subscriptions. However, because I don’t have to do a thing and they show up at my door and it feels like Christmas!
