This morning I see a full page ad for 15 Italian wines for $90 which includes three super Tuscans including free shipping. . For $6 a bottle how could I go wrong as long as I remember to cancel the subscription.
Got a link?
Not all Toscano IGT wines are Super Tuscans.
Have you heard of any of the wines? That said, $6 is $6.
These things make me cringe but I can see the value play at the same time. Great way for distributors or producers to dump wine they can’t sell.
might be wrong, but read the fine print, I thought they add a good $30 or more in shipping… generally names you’ve never seen before as well, which may or may not be a bad thing
So $8 a bottle makes it a no-go? ![[wow.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/7/7d450e9830889c8943b674446a21b7254cad657e.gif "wow"){kind=small}
Aren’t these wines actually from the Four Season’s wine Club?
Although it was 9-10 years ago, we did not enjoy the FS selections
Interesting question. I wonder if these wine clubs trade their unsold lots around, to get rid of them.
What about the wine club offers I keep getting from the airlines? They’re usually California wines that I have never heard of. Where are these wines from, or who is making them?
Theses offers are pretty common and the wines are passible if not dull. No great shakes but no real clunkers. I would call them Factory wines. Wall Street Journal Wine club, Laithwaite’s, Virgins Wine club are pretty much interchangeable. A cheap offer of difficult to investigate wines with a hard to cancel hook. I played once and as the Who sang-- Won’t Get fooled again!
I’d assume they’d make an effort to keep that information private as it’s hard to believe anyone aspires for their wines to end up here.
NO! Shipping is free
These are the three bonus bottles

I think you should join, and then in the spirit of the new WB Handbook, write TNs for each. 
If it’s too good to be true, then it’s too good to be true.
… or, using the classic Rocky and Bullwinkle alternate title method…
You get what you pay for.
$6 isn’t a price where a wine is automatically a good value. Places like Trader Joe’s and Cost Plus are full of wines at that price and less if you simply want a wine for cheap; plus then, you could actually just try a bottle and see what you think before you buy more.
And do you really want to devote 15 nights of your finite wine drinking time to drinking these cheap bottles?
I know a guy in Jersey who has his own wholesale/import company. He was featuring some NorCal wines under his private label from a single vineyard and supposedly made by a high profile winemaker. Original retails were in the $30-40 range, but they were 08 vintage and he started dumping them for $5-8/bot wholesale. I saw the wines in a WSJ offer and they were listing retail prices between $18-30 per bottle.
There is always the giving of gifts to those who don’t care and that saves me money as I do not choose from my stash.
I’m guessing it signs you up for some sort of automatic shipment, which you have to pay full price for at the time, like Publishers Clearing House, where you’d get a few magazines for 5 cents and then renew automatically at full price
Brent, the WSJ does not list the price of individule prices in the Ad
I’m planning on canceling after I receive my shipment .
