Our verdict on each
Beer52
Beer52 suits UK drinkers who want beer, wine and spirits from one club rather than a specialist wine room. It delivers in the United Kingdom, and the cadence can stretch, while the per bottle figure keeps the repeat cost of a subscription predictable for a household that drinks steadily.
VINEBOX
VINEBOX is a straightforward US wine club and bottle shop for drinkers who want 6 bottles delivered monthly, with single bottles in between. The club works out at $13.17 per bottle, and a bottle guarantee is not part of the deal.

Pros and cons
Beer52
Pros
- Per bottle cost of £3.38 places Beer52 at 4 of 20, so the figure that repeats every cycle is one of the stronger ones among drinks clubs.
- Beer52 holds b corp, so the company is assessed on its wider impact and not only on the boxes it sends.
- Coffee sits alongside the drinks at £3.25 to £3.50 by weight in whole bean and ground, so one account covers a morning cup as well as a bottle.
Cons
- There is no bottle guarantee, so a cracked bottle or a short delivery is a message to support rather than an automatic replacement.
- Beer52 delivers in GB only, which puts the offer out of reach for readers in other countries.
- Coffee runs on whole bean and ground and stops there, so pod and instant drinkers get nothing from the coffee side.
VINEBOX
Pros
- The club bottle rate is $13.17 and the shop opens at $30, so both routes in are priced in the open.
- A box is a full case of 6 bottles, which spreads a $5 shipping charge across plenty of bottles.
- VINEBOX covers a wine club and a bottle shop (wine club and wine shop), so a subscription is not the only way to buy.
Cons
- There is no bottle guarantee, so a broken or corked bottle in a delivered case carries no stated cover.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so phone and live chat sit outside the service.
- Next day delivery is not offered, and a $5 shipping charge lands on every order.
Who each suits
Beer52
Who it suits
- UK drinkers who want beer, wine and spirits from one service rather than a wine only room, and who read per bottle cost first.
- Readers who want a club that answers on email, phone and help centre rather than funnelling everything through one written channel.
- Coffee drinkers who want whole bean or ground through the same account as their drinks, at £3.25 to £3.50 by weight.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a bottle guarantee: Beer52 does not offer one, so check Bright Cellars or Scout & Cellar, where bottle guarantee is a compared feature.
- Readers outside the UK, since Beer52 delivers in GB only.
- People who want an alcohol-free range in the same club: The Wine Society lists one, and beer club, wine club and spirits do not cover it.
VINEBOX
Who it suits
- US drinkers who want a case of 6 bottles on monthly deliveries, plus a shop for the bottles in between.
- Cost-first shoppers, since VINEBOX ranks 7 of 20 brands on price per bottle.
- Gift buyers, because gift cards are exchangeable and personalization is offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside US, since VINEBOX lists that market only and names no others.
- Drinking families who want spirits or alcohol-free options: The Wine Society lists wine club, wine shop and spirits, a wider range than wine club and wine shop.
- Beer drinkers, since Beer52 lists beer club, wine club and spirits and VINEBOX stays within wine.

Questions about each
Beer52
How much does it cost to join Beer52?+
Entry to Beer52 starts at £27, and the club prices each bottle at £3.38. Those are the two figures to weigh: the first covers getting in, the second comes back on every delivery. Readers who want to know what a stretch of repeat deliveries costs should work from the per bottle number rather than the entry figure.
Is there a delivery charge on a Beer52 order?+
Delivery is free from £50, so a full box can arrive without a shipping fee. An order that sits under that threshold picks up the charge instead, which is why the free delivery mark is worth checking against your basket size rather than assumed. Order on a regular cycle and the fee may never come into play.
VINEBOX
What does a VINEBOX wine club box cost per month?+
The subscription is priced at $13.17 per bottle, and each box holds 6 bottles, so a month costs that per-bottle rate multiplied by the case size. Nothing is quoted on request, which makes it easy to run the same calculation for other clubs before you commit to a plan.
Can I buy bottles without taking a subscription?+
Yes. VINEBOX runs both plans under wine club and wine shop, so the club box is optional and the bottle shop stands on its own. Shop bottles start at $30, and a gift card can cover them too. Shop orders suit a drinker who wants a particular bottle for a dinner rather than a case on a schedule.
