For many, the pandemic has changed everything, including the way we eat and drink. And nowhere is that more true than in New York City. Even though many restaurants have opened their doors after the initial shutdown caused by Covid-19, customers are not necessarily flocking to enjoy a good drink and a meal. And let’s face it, drinking fine wine in a restaurant is more expensive than drinking it in the comfort of your own home. For these reasons, many people have turned to wine subscription services for their home wine needs.
Typical Subscription Services
There are many subscription services that are popular with wine customers. Many of these subscriptions offer you 12 bottles of wine for $75 or a set of 3 or 4 bottles for $40. But do you really know what you are getting when you fork over the $75? By the time a wine subscription company pays for your shipping fees, the label on the shipping box, and their marketing team, you are left with a bottle of wine worth about a dollar. And do you really want to pay $75 for a subscription of 12 bottles that only cost a dollar? Probably not.
Typical wine subscriptions are not always what they are cracked up to be. For instance, you are not guaranteed quality wine. Some companies use a subscription service to pass off overstock wines to unsuspecting patrons. Additionally, the cost for subscription bottles is usually more than buying these same bottles in a store. When typical subscription programs tout the fact that wines are exclusive or rare, there is no real way to quantify that. So often, subscription customers are left with extra bottles that wine companies are trying to get rid of, not necessarily good bottles of wine.
The Benefits of a High-End Wine Box
But you get what you pay for. Winelist NYC is a new type of high-end wine box company that capitalizes the benefits of Barterhouse, a wine importer that searches for the most delicious, quality wines from around the With Barterhouse, Winelist NYC can ship exclusive wines from all over the world and bring them right to your door.

Barterhouse brings the best of the best wine to top-rated restaurants such as Cipriani, Grand Central Oyster Bar, and The Capital Grille. And now we can get these wines to your door. And think about it, if you are drinking these fine wines by the glass or bottle in a restaurant, it would be much more expensive. Add to this the fact that many people are just not ready to eat out in public yet because of the pandemic’s ramifications.
