Our verdict on each
SomMailier
SomMailier suits members in US who want a wine club that still lets them order single bottles, and who weight a bottle guarantee above a low entry price. The club boxes hold 3 to 12 bottles, with cover on every shipment.
The Zero Proof
The Zero Proof suits anyone building a non-alcoholic drinks habit rather than chasing wine deals. Every product is alcohol-free, the club box runs quarterly, and entry costs sit at $6, which puts it ahead of most clubs on that measure.

Pros and cons
SomMailier
Pros
- Every club box carries a bottle guarantee, a cover that only 37.9% of the brands on site provide.
- Boxes hold 3 to 12 bottles, so members set the size of each delivery rather than take a fixed case.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving members email, phone and help centre routes.
Cons
- Entry price of $22 sits above Bright Cellars at $13, so a first order costs more here.
- The delivery cycle is fixed at quarterly with no monthly or flexible cadence, so faster drinkers top up through the shop instead.
- The range stops at wine: wine club and wine shop covers a club and a shop, while The Wine Society runs wine club, wine shop and spirits.
The Zero Proof
Pros
- Product types run from wine club, wine shop and spirits, so the club and the shop share one catalogue.
- The club box holds 4 to 8 bottles and arrives quarterly, light on cupboard space.
- Single bottles start at $6, with free delivery from $125.
Cons
- Bottle guarantee is not offered, while 37.9% of the brands on the site do include one.
- Delivery costs $12.99 unless the order clears $125.
- The catalogue stays alcohol-free, with none of the alcoholic ranges that sit at The Wine Society.

Questions about each
SomMailier
What does a SomMailier order start at?+
The listed entry price is $22, and it covers the wine shop as well as the club. Box size is what moves the total from there, because club boxes run to 3 to 12 bottles. Shop orders can be placed a bottle at a time, so the entry figure is a floor rather than a club commitment.
How many bottles come in a SomMailier club box?+
Club boxes hold 3 to 12 bottles, so members choose between a small case and a larger one. That choice is the main lever on the cost per bottle, since the wines behind the club are chosen for you. A larger box spreads the same delivery across more bottles.
The Zero Proof
How much does a club box cost per bottle?+
A club bottle works out at $18.75. Boxes ship 4 to 8 bottles and arrive quarterly, so the real cost per box depends on the size you pick. The price is the same on every cycle.
What does one bottle cost if I do not join the club?+
Single bottles start at $6 in the shop. That entry price ranks 5 of 33 brands, which is among the lowest in this set. It is the cheapest way to test which alcohol-free bottles you actually like.
