Join the club trusted by wine lovers for over 40 years,
no guesswork, just great wine
Here's what the Club is all about
Bottles. Hundreds of them. Different labels. Odd varieties. Unfamiliar brands. Foreign words. Wildly-varying prices.
It’s so confusing. You don’t know where to turn, or what to choose.
End the uncertainty. Join the Wine-of-the-Month Club. Choose a plan that suits you. Get a regular pack of wines that have been chosen in blind tastings by paid wine experts. Wines that will be among the finest you’ll ever taste.
Why membership works
Corks. Screw caps. Different shaped bottles. Heavy bottles. Labels on the back of bottles … they all add to the confusion.
When you don’t know the producer, the brand, or the reputation of the winemaker, you never know what you’re buying. Or how the wines will taste. Or, worse, whether you’ll be getting value for your money.
As a member of the Wine-of-the-Month Club you'll get panel selected wines of the type you like: red, white, rosé, sparkling or mixed. In a price range that suits you.
And the biggest benefit you’ll enjoy? We buy panel selections in bulk, at negotiated prices. That means you'll pay less for the wines than if you had to buy them in a supermarket or liquor store.
Start your great wine adventure today.
Join the Wine-of-the-Month Club.
Wine-of-the-Month Club wines are selected in blind tastings by an independent panel of paid wine judges.
The judges taste over 3000 wines every year. Not 100 wines. Not 200. Not 300. More than three thousand wines! From these they select only the best.
Every wine from the Wine-of-the-Month Club has been rated and come out tops. It is superior in quality … without you having to pay more for it!
All plans include panel-selected wines, cellar-door prices (or better), delivery to your door, complete flexibility and our money-back guarantee.
Since 1986
This is me with my father Colin, who started the Wine-of-the-Month Club 40 years ago.
Four decades on, the Club is still independent, still family-run, and still guided by the same simple principle: let the wine speak for itself.
SIMPLE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
Opened a wine and it is not for you, simply let us know and we'll pick up the case and refund you in full. No questions asked.
“The refund offer made it risk-free. Three years on, I've never needed to use it.”
—Matthew Jacobs, member since 2019

CELLAR DOOR PRICES
Because we buy in quantity, our prices are almost always equal to — and very often below — what you would pay if you visited the Cape, drove to different wine estates and bought wines at cellar doors.
So when you see "Cellar Door Price" or "Below Cellar Door Price", it's really true.
Delivered to your door
Your cartons are conveniently delivered right to your door, saving you the effort of carrying cases from shop shelves or cellar doors.
Select Your Plan
For the Connoisseur. For the few who won't settle for anything but the best, and for whom cost is a secondary consideration.

Blind tasting
At judging sessions,wines are tasted blind. The wines have numbers only, so panellists are not influenced by labels, producers, winemakers' reputations or fancy packaging. They concern themselves only with what they taste in the glass.
Tasting notes
Slip the tags on the bottles for a permanent record of the panel's tasting notes, food pairing suggestions and when best to enjoy each wine. They help deepen your appreciation and make every bottle more rewarding.
Learn as you enjoy
Enjoy wine news, wine lore and useful tips alongside your regular selection — a simple way to learn more while enjoying better wine.

Have questions?
The wines are selected by a panel of paid judges. They taste blind. That is, judges do not see the bottles. So they are not influenced by wine labels, names of producers, winemakers' reputations or stylish packaging—they concern themselves only with what they taste in the glass.
Wines are vintage specific. Good vintages depend on the weather, which varies from year to year, region by region. Being a member of the Wine-of-the-Month Club means not getting the same wine year after year but always from farms or estates in areas that have experienced optimum growing conditions.
We negotiate deals and buy limited ranges in quantity. That makes our prices low. They are almost always equal to and very often below what you would pay if you bought the wines directly at a wine estate's cellar door.
Our panel of qualified wine judges meets monthly to taste blind, debate, and select the wines that earn a place in your case. See below to see who is on the panel.
As frequently as you like: monthly, every 2 months, every 3 months or every 4 months. And you can choose to receive either a 6-bottle or a 12-bottle pack. We recommend you start with every 2 months.
We give you this simple, straightforward and honest-to-goodness guarantee: Buy a case or half-a-case of any one type of wine. Open a bottle. You don't like it? Call us. We'll collect the remainder of the case and refund you in full. No questions asked.
No problem. You can choose to receive only red wines, only white wines, or mixed cases. You can also change your wine preferences at any time.
No. You not only enjoy panel-selected wines but your regular pack comes with the SA Connoisseur newsletter and neck tags you can attach to each bottle in your wine rack—to give you a permanent record of the panel's tasting notes, food pairing suggestions, when best to enjoy the wine, etc. The tags help to make your enjoyment of it more informative and rewarding.
You can skip, pause, or cancel deliveries at any time.
