A very nice Sicilian light summer red. Better Nerello wine for similar £12 a bottle out there though.

Fazio, Mont’Elimo Nerello Mascalese, 2021

Was expecting more. Got what I paid for

Hommage du Rhone, Chateauneuf du Pape, 2021

The age verification process feels more complicated than it needs to be. While I understand the importance of verifying customers’ ages when purchasing alcohol, the current steps involved feel unnecessarily lengthy and cumbersome. Streamlining this process would make for a much smoother and more enjoyable experience overall. I hope Winedrops considers simplifying this in the future, as it’s one area that could really benefit from some attention.

Drinkable

Pyramid Valley, Sauvignon Blanc, 2022

Really not to my taste. Nothing wrong with it as such but the first bottle I’ve Jade from Winedrops that I’ve poured down the sink after half a glass. I have another bottle here, will have to use as a gift

Quinta de Sao Sebastiao, Dona Flor Branco, 2024

Bit disappointed with this one. Apple taste to start with then just very grapefruity. Spoilt it for me.

Marcel Martin, La Perclaire Sauvignon Touraine, 2024

A fresh, clean New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of citrus on the nose. It’s crisp and refreshing.

For my palate, though, it was a little sharper than I’d like and lacked some depth through the middle. The flavours started well but didn’t quite develop into the rich, concentrated finish I was hoping for

Nau Mai, Sauvignon Blanc, 2024/2025

Very smooth, a little sweet for me.

Scaranto, Bundle of Governo All’Uso Rosso, 2024

mixed thoughts about this wine. Good for the price but needs more body and time

Domaine de l’Echelette, Mâcon-Mancey, 2023/2024

Sadly I didn’t enjoy this , I’d expected so much more as everyone RAVES about it…it’s nice but not the price nice for me I’m afraid- each to their own though

Chateau D’esclan, Whispering Angel Bundle, 2025

Was a pleasant enough drop

Isla, Pinot Noir, 2024/2025

It’s OK for the money. Not exciting.

Casillero del Diablo, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2022

Smooth but too sweet (verging on the jammy) for my taste…

Villa Amoris, Robinus Primitivo, 2023

No returned

Ca’ Momi, Chardonnay, 2022/2023

I’ll hold my hands up — I didn’t read the terms and conditions closely enough before signing up, so committing to a full year came as something of a surprise. That’s probably on me. The introductory wine, unfortunately, really wasn’t to my taste at all, which got things off to a rocky start. I’m genuinely unsure whether Winedrops is the right fit for me personally, particularly given the price point. That said, I suspect it could be a great option for more seasoned wine buyers with a larger budget and a broader palate than mine. Worth doing your research before diving in.

Winedrops is one of those companies you love to hate. Inconsistency is a recurring theme, and the tendency toward hyperbole in wine descriptions can grate after a while. Honesty and restraint in how wines are written up would go a long way. That said, every so often Winedrops genuinely impresses, which is what keeps me coming back. My biggest gripe, however, is the annual membership fee — it simply doesn’t sit well, and dropping it would make the offering far more appealing. Two straightforward improvements: ditch the membership charge and be more candid in describing the wines. Get those right, and there’s real potential here.

Overripe, too fruit forward, a little disappointing

Cantine Paradiso, Posta Piana Primitivo, 2023

Nice wine but the honey undertone was a little too strong for me

Jacques Bourguignon, Chardonnay, NV

The wine itself is good and decent value, but there are some important caveats worth knowing before you order. When you place your first order, Winedrops enrolls you in their subscription service without making this clear upfront. On top of that, if you add wine to your basket, your card can be charged immediately and without explicit consent. Getting a refund is a lengthy process — in my case, it only came through after I escalated the matter and threatened further action. On the positive side, the three-day free trial is genuinely worthwhile if you’re curious about what’s on offer. My advice: enjoy the trial, explore the selection, but be very cautious about continuing beyond that point and make sure you understand exactly what you’re signing up for.

Delivery was quick, and the wine seems decent enough for the price — so no complaints there. However, I’d urge anyone ordering for the first time to read the terms and conditions carefully before completing their purchase. When you place an order with Winedrops, you are automatically enrolled into a fee-paying membership, which can be quite costly if you’re not expecting it. It caught me off guard, and I suspect it might surprise others too. The experience itself wasn’t bad, but that automatic sign-up feels like something that should be made much clearer upfront. Proceed with caution and make sure you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you buy.

I ordered a box of 6 bottles at the price of £79,98, received the invoice confirming the price & received the order 48 hours later.

2 days later I received a notification of the refund of my £79 & s different amount of £119 was taken from my bank account. This was not the amount I was invoiced for so contradicts their T&C’s. Not impressed, automated response of a standard letter, which clearly shows this is a common issue. The membership fee requirement should be clearly visible on the website as well as at the point of placing an order. Still waiting for a response

Not for me. No body

Chateau Senailhac, Bordeaux Superieur, 2018

Whispering Angel is one of my all-time favourite wines, so when I spotted the offer through Winedrops I was thrilled. I first discovered it during a visit to my sister in Canada, and it’s been a firm favourite ever since — perfect for enjoying myself or giving as a gift to special friends.

The wine itself is wonderful and the offer was genuinely impressive. However, I was disappointed to discover after placing my order that there was an additional £119 annual membership fee on top of the promotional price. I hadn’t realised this was a requirement to access Winedrops’ special offers throughout the year. To be fair, when I got in touch, the team explained it clearly and were helpful.

As someone on a limited income, I had simply wanted to take advantage of the one-off deal on Whispering Angel. It would have been helpful to have the membership requirement made more prominent upfront, so customers like me can make a fully informed decision before purchasing.

Too dry for my taste but interesting bouquet.

Was an ok saint emilion – more like a Bordeaux superior, fairly drinkable but not no.2

Winedrops, NDA NO°2 Saint Emilion, 2023

Fruity red wine.

Bodegas Bastida, Cimal Garnacha, 2021

Winedrops is the only wine club I’ve come across where the membership fee goes entirely towards ‘admin’ rather than wine credit. That wasn’t made sufficiently clear at sign-up, which was frustrating — the money simply disappears.

On the positive side, the app is genuinely impressive. It’s engaging, beautifully presented, and makes almost every bottle look irresistible. The temptation factor is real. Unfortunately, my first case brought me back to earth — the selection was perfectly ordinary, with nothing particularly special included.

Delivery was also a let-down. The first case arrived damaged in transit, and subsequent deliveries came with no option to book a specific time slot — just a case left outside the door whenever the courier happened to show up.

Finally, for a wine club positioning itself around quality, the reliance on screw caps is a sticking point. Good wine deserves better. There’s genuine potential here, but the experience needs to live up to the promise the app creates.

Bit too sweet
