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

Really thoughtful and welll curated product. Love that the wines are something a bit different yet affordable - real dinner table talking points!

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 🍷

Love that I can finally learn about wine - and while tasting it. Super accessible, smart product.

@sammyps Thanks Sam! Building the newsletter over the last 18 months has really helped with getting the tone of this final product right!

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!

@tjlivesey Thanks Tom for being one of the early customers! Glad to hear you had such a good first box experience too. Looking forward to seeing where the next wines take you too

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

@joshlachkovic I love this concept! Some feedback taken from the homepage - https://thewinelist.net/. I would love to see a FAQ somewhere - I'm from NY and wasn't sure if there was international shipping or not (if so, extra fee?). The CTA is very visible and I wanted to click on the sign-up button every chance I got. Also, do you share the prices of each bottle with the consumers (would like to know if I'm saving or just receiving exclusive, hand-selected bottles.) Aside from ^, I'm a wine lover and would love to know how you came up with this idea.

@joshlachkovic Also, sorry last question, my fianće doesn't really love Merlot and I really dislike Port, is there an opt-out option for some wines you know you won't enjoy? Essentially to customize your favorite wines (or a for him and for her - I love Rose and my fiance loves Pinot Noir.) Could be cute for Valentines day too...

@raquel_winiarsky Hey Raquel, thanks for the feedback here. FAQ will come soon. International shipping isn't available yet unfortunately (but I will build out as soon as humanly (or logistically) possible). Prices I haven't yet, if you were to Google them you could find them but I've not actually been asked either. The price of the bottles will come to around £30. Postage is a huge % of the cost ~ £8 in early days, but at scale that can come down quite a bit. And the 'education' you get for free essentially. With opt-in/out of wines, again can't get there yet, but definitely planning on doing so by the time we hit some scale. Just keeping it simple to begin with. Thank you so much. By the way if you drop me an email josh@thewinelist.net I'll let you know when we go international

@thewinelist @joshlachkovic Excellent! Super excited about this. :)
