Are you missing your local wine bar or maybe that Napa trip you planned with friends? Enter Vinebox, the perfect way to get that wine tasting experience at home.

Vinebox is a subscription wine service but unlike the multitude of others out there, instead of receiving a full bottle of each wine, you receive just a sample size. Each test tube is 100ml— a perfect glass of wine for tasting. Your kit includes different types of wines from different regions with a blend of red and white.

My kit had 9 wines all from Europe, specifically France, Spain and Italy. I lived this because I actually never really drink European wines. I tend towards California, South America and Australia/New Zealand. So aside from French champagne, this was a great introduction to European wines. Each box also comes with a card insert directing you to the online site for your box. This includes information about each wine and suggested food pairings. I love having this information as I find it so useful. I only wish it actually came printed in the box as this would have been easier to read and refer to as we did our tasting.

The box was only $79, so very affordable for the experience. You can also choose to go online and purchase a bottle you like from your box, just like in a real wine tasting.

I’m pretty excited to see what my next wine box will have in store for another fun wine tasting experience!
