Had my first bottles of wine from the Wine List last weekend. Was a brilliant experience tasting them with my wife, comparing notes and (finally) actually knowing a little more about what we're tasting. As someone who loves wine, but has been reluctant to do classes, and who's struggled to learn from books - this combo of info plus product is incredible. Highly recommended.

@eamonncarey Thanks Eamonn - that's very kind words, indeed. Glad to hear you had such a good first box experience, and got that value so early on. Second one will be with you this weekend! Josh

Hey PH,
We created The Wine List to make wine learning accessible. Wine is the UK's most popular alcoholic drink and yet 20% of those drinkers wish they knew more about it.
The Wine List is an interactive way to build your wine knowledge up on a monthly basis.
What you will learn?
- Why your wine tastes the way it does and why two chardonnays from the same place can taste entirely different
- Rare grapes and wines from all around the world
- How to choose better wine yourself in the future
🙏I'd love any feedback you have. Thank you 🍷
Really thoughtful and welll curated product. Love that the wines are something a bit different yet affordable - real dinner table talking points!

@paul_connor1 Thanks Paul - glad you're liking it so far. Make sure to send me your tasting cards next time you do them!

Received my first wines last month, both of which were really interesting and something it would have taken me a long time to find myself. I had some friends over, all who had different levels of knowledge when it came to wine but we all really enjoyed it. The guidance from the tasting notes really made it. Would highly recommend!

Hi! Cool project!
Could I choose wines? How deep is your expertise in wines?
Which countries do you ship to?

@michaelvaskon Hey, I've done a WSET course, and got to know winemaking quite well as part of my podcast I recorded last year. I interviewed 16 winemakers about the 2018 vintage and explored every aspect of that winemaking process. That podcast was very well received in the trade press and amongst winemakers. There's definitely way more to go on my wine learning journey.
It's UK only at the moment, but will look international later on.
And for choosing wines, at the moment, no. The wines are chosen by us. Thanks
This is a fantastic concept and we loved out first delivery, containing two great wines which we would not normally have tried, or even been able to buy locally to where we live. We had great fun tasting them, referring to the tasting notes and then thinking about everything we need to learn. Also love the fact you get just two specially chosen bottles, not a case of 6-12 which many wine companies seem to send out. Can't wait for our next delivery.

@richard_king1 Thanks Richard! Glad you had a great first box experience, and also the priority of two specially chosen bottles rather than big cases!

Fantastic wines and thought behind ever bottle
amazing tasting cards to help you on your wine journey and great interaction with josh though social channels
The perfect wine subscription for any Wine lover at any level
I like this idea. I always feel silly tasting wine and not knowing what exactly I'm enjoying.
