About Us

South Africa’s Oldest & Largest Wine Club

About wine of the month

At Wine-of-the-Month Club, we believe wine is meant to be explored, enjoyed, and shared. Founded in 1986, our story is rooted in a love for South African wine and a passion for connecting people with bottles worth discovering. Over the decades, we’ve built lasting relationships with winemakers, cultivated a trusted panel of experts, and earned the loyalty of members who value quality, authenticity, and a little adventure in every glass. For us, it’s not just about selling wine — it’s about celebrating it.

Our Purpose

Let’s be honest — choosing wine can feel overwhelming. Trying something new and knowing it’s truly good isn’t easy. So, how do you make the right choice?

Before we dive in, ask yourself these three questions:

Do you always pick the same wine just to be safe?
Feel overwhelmed by supermarket shelves?
Want to learn about wine without wasting money?

If you said yes to any of these, you're not alone. That’s why we’re here.

Flexible picks for all tastes

Wine clubs your way

At Wine-of-the-Month, we take the guesswork out of choosing great wine. Every year, our panel of 12 independent experts blind-tastes over 3,000 wines, focusing solely on what’s in the glass—no labels, no bias we focus only on what’s most important "what you taste in the glass". This ensures that every bottle in our carefully curated boxes is of exceptional quality. Whether you’re after seasonal selections, tailored to your budget, or prefer Red, White, or Mixed cases, our flexible wine clubs make it easy to discover and enjoy South Africa’s finest wines, delivered right to your door.

MEET THE PANEL 

Colin Collard

"The most expensive wines are not necessarily the best"

Claude Felbert

"It doesn’t matter if the glass is half full or half empty, there is clearly room for more wine!"

Clive Torr

“Wine makes you see double, and act single. The doctors say: you have to choose. Wine or Memory. You can't have both!”

Irina von Holdt

“I moonlight as a winemaker, or maybe I am a winemaker moonlighting as a wine writer.”

Margaret Fundira

“There is always something new, just around the corner, waiting to be discovered.”

Winifred Bowman

“A serious business that is also a lot of fun too.”

Malu Lambert

"Blanc de blancs have more fun"

Tarryn Vincent

"In water you see your own reflection in wine you the heart of another."

Janine van Zyl

"A well-made wine is like a finely tuned orchestra, each note distinct yet working in harmony to create something greater than the sum of its parts."

Wayve Kolveshon

"Keep calm and pour on"

Joseph Dhafana

"In water you see your own reflection in wine you the heart of another"

The reviews are in

"I don’t know if you have access to just how long I’ve been a member of your wine club, but it’s many years. Many years of wonderful good wines. I’ve genuinely never had a bad wine from you."

— Walter Passet, Blue Horizon Bay

"I’m very busy ... I work at multiple venues every day – I just love the way your delivery guys make time to get me my delivery when it suits me. A big shout out to the team for that service."

— T. Moleleki, Fourways

"Thank you for bringing fine living to our busy lives – full of good ideas and innovative surprises for your customers. I can’t help wondering how many hard-working people are behind the scene."

— Dr. Julija Erhardt, Bryanston

"Thanks for the quick refund for the Semillon. I tried the wine and it was good, though I’m just not a big Semillon fan. I appreciate how swiftly you sorted it out and kept me updated."

— R. Khoza, Soweto

"Since joining the Wine-of-the-Month Club tasting panel as a founder member 28 years ago, I must have blind tasted at least 50 000 wines. The experience has been nothing short of remarkable."

— Dave Biggs

"I've seen the standard of Cape wines improve steadily over the years and have never tired of discovering new ones each week. The joy of discovery has kept me tasting for nearly three decades."

Dave Biggs, Wine-of-the-Month Club panel member

"It feels like Christmas every time I open my box of wine. I’m like a kid in a candy store – always excited to see the treasures inside. You’ve made every delivery something to look forward to."

— E. Gracenor, Parkdene

"Brisk delivery, all received in good order – thank you! Your excellent service truly puts you ahead of the rest. It’s reassuring to know my wine will arrive promptly and in perfect condition."

— Johannes

"Just wanted to say thank you, I have received the Cabernet Franc 2012. What truly impressed me was your personal handwritten note – a rare and thoughtful touch in our digital world today."

David Helps, 12 September 2018

"It was such a surprise to find a handwritten note in the box. Thank you for this and for the magazine, which I will enjoy with my Cabernet Franc. Gestures like this set you apart from the rest."

— Afzal

"Having just received one of my wine packs, my compliments on your September issue of Connoisseur. The article on decanting is most useful and will be put into practice at our next gathering."

"The sauce for oysters is one I’ve been hunting for, for a while, and the chicken livers with butter beans sounds delicious. Your recipes are as exciting as the wines in each delivery box."

— David Helps

"The wine boxes were always received with much excitement, and it was a joy to discover what was inside each time. They truly helped us get through the bleak periods of lockdown with cheer."

— Derek Hill
