Dry Farm Wines' range exclusively showcases low-alcohol and low-sugar labels for oenophiles that love their reds and whites and don’t want to have to cut them out. Most of its portfolio boasts an ABV as low as 7% and not one bottle goes above 12.5% putting them proudly in the low to medium territory.

When you get started with First Leaf, you reply to a 13-question quiz that probes how willing you are to take risks and highlights what you want in a bottle. The information all gets crunched up by an algorithm and – presto – you get a spanking new palate profile. This acts as the blueprint for each and every label that goes into your shipments.
As you sip your way through each bottle, you are given the opportunity to rate it which seamlessly streamlines your profile leading to an equally-tailored selection of bottles next time and the time after that.
Every single label that makes it into First Leaf’s portfolio has been tasted to within an inch of its life and is one of only 2% out of 10,000 that make the cut. Bottles cover popular grapes and styles from Old and New World regions so, in addition to top-notch quality, there’s plenty of variety as well.
Each case is filled with the best and super-tailored with First Leaf.
If you care about what you drink too much to leave the picking and choosing to an algorithm or someone else, you’ll love Vinebox. You get to sample a range of taster vials from European vineyards and when you land one – or several – you like, you can order a full bottle. You pay for this with credits you’ve built up with previous shipments and Vinebox arranges delivery.
How it works is you get nine 100-ml sized samples that you try at home in your own private tasting event. You nose and sip each until you find one or more that suits your taste buds. There’s no chance of anything arriving stale or oxidized because Vinebox uses advanced fractioning technology that seals in flavors and aromas. When you pour each glass-sized sample, it’s as though it has come fresh from the bottle.
Food pairing tips and tasting notes come with each sample.
If you only want to drink what you’ve handpicked yourself, the best bet for you is Vinebox.
