Here’s a scenario you might relate to: you go to your local wine shop, looking to branch out. But staring at a wall proclaiming a wine’s country of origin, you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, and can’t quite bring yourself to ask the pretentious store owner for help. So you settle on the passable bottle of red you’ve had a thousand times before.
We’ve been there. But thanks to Bright Cellars, you can discover amazing bottles of wine from small vineyards around the world without any of the guesswork—all from the comfort of your own home.
Here’s how it works: Bright Cellars is a wine delivery service that will recommend wines based on your favorite foods and send you four new bottles to try each month. The company was created by two MIT grads, so obviously there’s some math involved to figure out what you’ll like: using a quiz and algorithm, Bright Cellars carefully selects what new wines you’ll love based on how you answer questions about your taste preferences. (Take the quiz! It’s fun.)
The result is you getting to taste your way around the world with the assurance that you’ll love what you’re getting. And there’s nothing to lose because if you don’t love a bottle, Bright Cellars will send you a replacement in your next order. You’ll even be connected with your personal Wine Concierge (yes) to help figure out a better match and answer any questions you may have about wine, judgement free. If you’re not feeling like wine one month or are planning a trip to a vineyard in real life, you can skip or cancel at any time.
Take the quiz to see the top four wines they recommend for you. If you like what you see, Bright Cellars is offering 50% off your shipment when you sign up now.
