Question about nakedwines.com

[dralarms]

Anyone know anything about them? Son brouget home a voucher for 100. Off a 160 order

 

[DiscoStu]

I looked into it. The 160 dollars of wine could be bought at the store for 60$.

We do it. Free shipping if you order a dozen. These are $10 wines, don't believe the stated values/prices.

We've had some I thought were great, but a couple where I couldn't drink a second glass.

I haven't purchased from them, but those vouchers are everywhere. So that gives you an idea of what they think the wines are really worth. I've read very mixed reviews - most very similar to what @Stressbaby posted. Some good, some you spit out. On average $8-12/bottle retail. Not much of a bargain, but probably not a rip off either, if you're getting the discounts. One advantage is it'll open you up to wines you can't get at your local store.

Thanks for the info. I'll just stick with my stuff. Anyone want a voucher code?

Not really a big fan. They hype it up, giving you the belief that you are getting a great deal on high quality wines. It is simply not the case. with just a few exceptions, the wines sent to me were average at best.

Sorry to slightly hijack this, but is there a different vendor that is better that you all have used?

 

[JohnT]

I tried naked wines and WTSO (wine till sold out) and have not been happy with either. I now simply stick with my local bottle king.

 

[Boatboy24]

I do like WTSO. Again, not the screaming bargains that you think they might be, but I think you get what you pay for. It's not a 'club', as much as it is just a place to buy wines.

I was a Member of the K&L Wine Club for almost 18 months IIRC. They have multiple levels of wines from $20 a month (for 2 bottles) to $50 a month. You can reorder any you like at a discounted club price. They send a variety of wines. No tax usually and shipping was reasonable. Only reason I cancelled was I wanted to concentrate on wines from WA/OR for myself but all wines I had were good/very good and I was in the $20 a month level.

Thanks Jim & John,

I use WTSO as well. I just research each bottle as it comes up for value and style etc. Kinda fun and kinda a time drain But no shipping or taxes makes it worthwhile.

Thanks for the thoughts
