Frequently Asked Questions

More about Sommailier’s French wine club membership.

How does the club work?

Each quarter we feature different French wineries and hand-select 6 different wines (3 reds and 3 whites). These wines are shipped to our members, accompanied by in-depth information about the winery, and wine making process, as well as selected recipes. You may subscribe as a member, or send the membership as a gift to someone else for a predetermined number of shipments.

Your first shipment will arrive within 7 to 10 days of your order. Subsequent shipments will be sent every 3 months, approximately. We are working with local carriers specialized in wine distribution to make sure your wine will ship in optimum conditions. They will try up to 3 times before sending the wine back to us. An adult (at least 21 years old) signature is required to receive your shipment. Occasional shipments may be delayed to conditions of extreme heat or cold temperatures. We will let you know if this happens.

Yes. An adult (at least 21 years old) signature is required to receive your order. It is always a good idea to ship to an address where an adult is normally present because this keeps the recipient from having to go and pick up the shipment at the carrier’s local center. Business addresses are highly recommended for this reason.

If you are subscribing for yourself, you will be billed automatically right before we ship your wines to you. If you are sending a gift, you’ll be billed up front for the total number of gift shipments you wish to give.

There are no membership fees, you just pay as you go and can cancel at any time.

Absolutely, just let us know and we can send you red only, white only, or a mix of both! Our best seller is the 6-bottle mix of reds and whites so you can experience more exclusive wines in every quarterly shipment. We will customize your membership to fit your needs.

Although wine tastes vary from person to person, we stand behind our selections and if you receive a wine that has turned, we will reship a replacement with our next shipment or refund you the price of that bottle.

YES! Sommailier wine club reorders are available while supplies last, and always at a discount of the normal retail price.
