As you are almost certainly aware, humanity is struggling in the grip of the dreaded coronavirus, with so many of us having lost our jobs and being forced to remain indoors. While this is great for preventing the spread of the disease, it is very detrimental to our mental health, with a lack of socialization being a leading cause of depression.
One great way to combat this is to use Skype, Zoom, Facebook, or another program in order to have video chats with your friends, families, and loved ones. And what better way to enjoy time with your friends than to share a bottle of wine?
While it is true that you cannot physically share a bottle over Facetime, you could get around this by both buying the same bottle, and drinking together while chatting! The perfect way to celebrate wine, even if not in person, is to enjoy drinking it with a friend.
But with many shops closed, and freedom of movement restricted, how can you both get your hands on that perfect bottle? An online wine club could be the way to go.
Winc Wine Club
Winc is a fantastically popular online wine club, offering a huge variety of different bottles and deals for you to choose from, and boasting over five million positive reviews.
One great feature of Winc is its patented ‘Palate Profile’ test, which every new customer must complete. This is simply six multiple-choice questions, which when answered and assessed, gives a deep insight into your unique tastes and preferences. Winc will then send you wines at the volume and frequency requested, which it believes are the best match for your palate profile. Each time you finish a bottle, you can log into your profile and give it a rating. The more ratings you give, the more comprehensive the understanding Winc will gain about your palate profile, and thus the wines will become more and more tailored to suit you.
Winc also has a satisfaction guarantee, which states that you do not ever have to pay for a bottle that you did not enjoy, and it makes the ability to skip a shipment or cancel altogether readily available.
Enjoying a Winc Bottle with Friends During the Lockdown
So, what’s the best way to enjoy a bottle with your friends? Luckily, at the moment, Winc is offering a great deal to new customers. If you are an existing customer and have a friend who may be interested, you can grab a referral link for them. If they then use this link while signing up, they will receive a $22 bottle of wine for free, which is always well received.
And in return for them ordering their first two shipments, you will receive $30 worth of wine credit to spend on the site. Using this deal could mean that you and that friend you have been missing can both share a bottle of wine over video chat, without having to spend a cent!
While Winc’s services are exemplary, there is no lock-in period, so if you need to, you can cancel whenever you feel you have had enough. Of course, if neither of you are existing customers, one of you can sign up and then invite the other.
