Who each suits

Questions about each
Bee d'Vine
How many bottles come in a Club d'Vine box?+
A Club d'Vine box holds 4 bottles, so a subscription is ordered as a case rather than a single bottle. The bottles in the box are mead and honey wine from the same maker. A member who wants the occasional glass is better served by the shop, which sells bottles without a case commitment.
What does Bee d'Vine cost at entry and per bottle?+
The shop starts at $35, and the Club d'Vine subscription works out at $49 to $67 per bottle. The two numbers cover different things, a shop bottle against a club box, which is why the subscription is the costlier route per bottle. Both are quoted in US dollars for the US market.
Firstleaf
What does a Firstleaf box cost?+
Entry sits at $44.95, which works out to $16.50 per bottle on a box of 6 bottles. Those are the figures worth budgeting from: the entry price covers the opening order, and the per-bottle figure is the running cost each delivery adds. A bottle guarantee comes on top of both.
How often do Firstleaf deliveries arrive?+
Delivery frequency is listed as monthly and flexible, so members can expect a monthly rhythm or a flexible schedule rather than a single fixed slot. Boxes hold 6 bottles, which sets how much wine lands in each drop and how long a case lasts before another follows. Confirm the timing that suits you at signup.
