The rest of the story
You saw the two wines. Here’s the rest of the story.
Hi, I’m Clifford from the Wine-of-the-Month Club. I would like to invite you to become a member of the Wine-of-the-Month Club.
I know what’s uppermost in your mind.
“Shouldn’t the R249 wine have beaten the R149 wine? When you pay more, don’t you get more?”
That’s what we all expect of course.
I have a confession to make, though.
The judges on the Wine-of-the-Month Club panel gave both the R249 wine and the R149 wine exactly the same score.
The wines were equally outstanding — two top Sauvignon Blanc wines out of 40.

Why blind tasting changes everything
We take the label, price and reputation out of the equation.
Wine-of-the-Month Club judges are paid outside wine experts who taste blind. They don’t see the bottles. They’re not influenced by labels or packaging. They don’t know who made the wines. They’re not influenced by past reputations. They don’t know the prices.
All they have in front of them are wines of the same type or variety.
They score the wines simply on what they taste in the glass.
When two or more wines score equally, we always select the lowest-priced wine — so our members always get the best for less.
Not 100. Not 200. Not 300. Over 3,000 wines every year.
Every year, the Wine-of-the-Month Club panellists taste over 3,000 South African wines.
They taste up to 100 wines at a time, judging every wine on exactly the same terms.

The most important benefit of membership
The best wines. Bought better.
Our buying team purchases winning wines directly from wine farms and wine estates and not through wholesaler or distributor channels.
They buy in quantity at negotiated prices.
This means you get the wines at lower prices than if you had to buy them in a supermarket or a liquor store — they’re often even lower than buying them directly at an estate’s cellar door.
Get more out of every bottle.
With every pack you receive neck tags detailing what to look for in the wines, food pairing suggestions, and how and when best to enjoy the wine.
So you also get more out of every bottle.
You’d expect to pay extra for a service like this. You don’t.

P.S. As you’d expect, there is high demand for Wine-of-the-Month Club selections. Availability of many wines is limited. Members frequently request past choices that are no longer available.
