Our verdict on each
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.
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
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.
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
The Zero Proof
Who it suits
- People cutting out alcohol who still want a delivered club ritual
- Gift buyers, since personalization is available on gift cards
- Households that want spirits and cocktails as well as wine club boxes
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers chasing a bottle guarantee, since none is offered and Beer52 covers beer clubs instead
- Readers after the long wine lists of The Wine Society
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
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.
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.
