I posted this because i see these “FirstLeaf” ads every day on Facebook, and I often report them as untrue, but they just keep coming.
Also the production facility mentioned is right next door to me, which I did not know, and I know a lot of the people that work there, so it’s upsetting that they possibly are participating in this kind of seemingly fraudulent marketing…(IMO)…
Thanks for posting. I love making comments to those pop up adds. Got one today for Wine Insiders. My favorite is wine.com. Easily the worst pricing on wine I have seen on a large scale. Talk about paying too much.
I wish wholesalers marked up wines 50% as Tom asserts, 18-25% is more accurate.
What I do agree with is this is not an accurate portrayal, my SIL is getting into wine and asked me if a few of these different clubs were worth it, so they do get people’s attention and I am sure they recruit subscribers.
Honestly, the proof is in the drinking. I have fallen for a couple of these introductory offers (can’t remember it if it was from them or some other similar company), figuring that the wine would at least be serviceable as a daily drinker. In other words, what do you have to lose for six or seven bucks a bottle?
Inevitably, the wine ends up not even being worth that much.
Next up, Robo calls from Top Wines Cheap or Screaming Falcon Vineyards and not just on your home or business phone but also on your cell phone. There may be a day that robocall phone number may be your own phone number. There is no control, no rules and no enforcement so do your due diligence on these businesses.
