The Wine Industry's Hidden Problem

Premium Wine Shouldn't Be This Hard to Access

Retail Markups

Traditional retail adds 50-200% markup. You're paying for shelf space, not wine quality.

Allocation Lists

The best wines are "allocated" to insiders. Getting on lists takes years and big purchases.

Information Overload

Thousands of wines, confusing ratings, intimidating jargon. How do you find what's actually good?

Our Solution

We Go Direct. You Get the Upgrade.

We've built relationships with 500+ wineries who trust us with their premium allocations. By cutting out middlemen and accepting variable margins, we can guarantee you bottles worth more than you pay—every single time.

The Process

Four Steps to Premium Wine

Transparent, fair, and designed to deliver exceptional value every time

Browse the Wine Pool

Each offer shows every bottle you might receive—no hidden inventory. You'll see the full range from entry-level to ultra-premium, along with the probability of each tier.

"It's like a wine lottery where you can't lose—every ticket wins."

See all possible wines

Choose your quantity

Choose Your Quantity

Select 3, 6, 12, or 24 bottles. More bottles mean better shipping value and more chances at top-tier upgrades. Orders of 12+ ship free.

Each bottle is independently assigned—order 6, get 6 separate upgrade chances.

Instant Upgrade Assignment

The moment you checkout, our system fairly assigns bottles from the wine pool. The algorithm is provably random—we can't game it, and neither can anyone else.

Your upgrade is locked in before we even touch the inventory.

Random, fair, instant

Delivered to your door

Unbox Your Discovery

Behind the Scenes

Why 500+ Wineries Partner With Us

This model works because it creates value for everyone—wineries, customers, and us.

Wineries partner with us to reach new customers and move special allocations that don't fit traditional retail channels.

Discover New Fans

When someone receives a $150 bottle they paid $25 for, they become a lifelong customer of that winery.

Questions Answered

Common Questions

We understand the skepticism. The model works because we've removed traditional middlemen. Wineries sell directly to us at cost, accepting lower margins in exchange for reaching new customers and moving inventory that doesn't fit retail channels. We pass those savings to you as guaranteed upgrades.

Every wine in our pool has a verified retail price from the winery's current price list, Wine-Searcher, or major retailers. We publish this data transparently on each offer page. You can cross-reference any bottle yourself.

No—that's what makes the model work. The upgrade experience comes from the element of discovery. You can see every possible bottle before ordering, but the specific assignment is random. If you want to choose specific wines, we have a traditional shop for that.

Our 30-day satisfaction guarantee means you can return or exchange any bottle you don't enjoy. We also include detailed tasting notes and pairing suggestions to help you appreciate each wine. Most customers discover new favorites this way.

We use a cryptographically fair random number generator seeded at the moment of checkout. The algorithm is auditable, and we can't influence results. Each bottle is assigned independently—ordering 12 bottles means 12 separate, fair rolls.

Yes. Each offer has limited inventory from our winery partners. When the wine pool is depleted, the offer closes. Popular offers often sell out within 48 hours, so we recommend acting when you see something you like.

We ship to all states where wine shipping is legal (currently 44 states plus DC). Orders ship from our climate-controlled facility in New York. Standard delivery is 2-3 business days; we ship Monday-Wednesday to avoid weekend temperature exposure.

No subscription required. Buy when you want, as much or as little as you'd like. We do have a referral program where you and your friends both get $50 off—but that's entirely optional.
