A number of the products included in the wine club selection are exclusive to members. Many have also won prestigious awards within the food and drink industry.

Notable successes include a gold award in the San Diego International Wine Challenge for Treehaven Lane Pinot Grigio and a gold award in the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition for Beau Palais Bordeaux Rouge.

Every shipment comes with tasting notes so you can learn about flavor profiles, serving tips, and pairing ideas. In addition, you’ll receive notes on the winemakers and regions behind your selection.

Giving the Gift of Wine

If your friends, family, or colleagues enjoy the finer things in life, a decent bottle—or bottles—of wine may be the ideal gift.

When you purchase a membership, you can indicate whether you are purchasing your subscription as a gift. You’ll then have the option to add a personal message for the recipient.

If you would rather not commit to full membership as a gift, Macy’s offers a number of other options. During the holiday season, you can choose from a selection of wine advent calendars. You also have the option to select luxury gifts or wedding presents.

Customer Service

You can contact the customer service department at Macy’s by phone or email. Its hours are 9am-8pm ET Monday to Friday and 10am-7pm ET on weekends.

Bottom Line

Macy’s Wine Shop is a great choice for wine lovers who enjoy relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Its introductory offer of 6 bottles for $49.99 is one of its most attractive features.

Overall, we found its prices to be cheaper than many other high-end wine clubs, but there are a few minor issues such as a limited delivery area. However, this is unlikely to be a deal breaker for many customers, who will appreciate other member benefits such as free shipping and detailed tasting notes.
