Another one of those wine deals, this time courtesy of Reddit user Character_Zer0:
- A new Amex Offer popped up today for Marthastewartwine.com to get $20 off $50+ purchase.
- SimplyBestCoupons is offering $25 back when you sign up for a wine subscription – here’s a link to that deal (this link contains my SBC referral).
- Signup for the Case Wine Club to get a case of 12 bottles delivered every 8 weeks for $89.88.
- Get 25% off at checkout with promo code VDAY which brings down the cost at checkout to $67.41.
Go to marthastewartwine.com > Club > Case Wine Club > choose all reds, all whites, or a mix. Total should be $67.41 at checkout after you get the 25% off with the VDAY promo code. Then you’ll get $20 back from Amex and hopefully $25 from Simplybestcoupons bringing down the cost to $22.41.
Stacking is fun. Just remember, there’s always a risk of the portal not tracking, especially when using a promo code, so be sure the deal makes sense for you without that. A lot of people like having cheap bottles around for this or that.
Be sure to cancel your monthly delivery if you don’t want it to continue, else you’ll be charged every 8 weeks for a new shipment.
Hat tip again to character_zer0Â
Agree with the others. Tried similar deal last year, getting bottles for effectively $5 or $6 each, and it still wasn’t worth it. Most were undrinkable, barely even good enough to cook with. Just save your time and avoid all the convoluted jumping through hoops necessary to maximize this deal, and instead buy something cheap but acceptable from a local store. (What’s worse, the UPS delivery required a signature so I had to leave work to receive this swill in person. Never again.)
Many of these wines are shipped via FedEx. In that case just set your delivery drop off to be the local Walgreens and pick up on your way home from work.
don’t think I could handle the shame of having martha stewart – anything on my CC bill.
The wines are poor. Whites very watery. Reds chokeably bad. Ended up using in cooking/throwing out.
+1 about wine quality. Even after all the stacking, you will still get better quality wine for less ($5-6) at Cosco, Total Wine, Trader Joes etc. Just not worth it, as there can also be a couple of complete dogs in the pack that are basically undrinkable.
Maybe I’m the outlier but I also pick externally reviewed bottles (can be done on vivino.com) rather than go with the packs. The wines in my experience doing so have been middle of the road to actually good, albeit for bulk wine.
I did the deal last year and I thought the wines were pretty bad overall.
Coupon VDAY shows on SBC.
It should track OK.
Anyone use Martha’s “if you don’t like the wines, we’ll replace” offer?
Offer not available for delivery to AK, AL, AR, DE, HI, KY, MS, OK, RI, SD and UT.
One more vote for this being complete crap. I buy cheap wine at Total Wine and the grocery store all the time, and this stuff was worse. I will say, though, that it is better than some of the other mail order wines that have had deals (like Wine Insiders), but not by much. Just save yourself the hassle of worrying about whether things will track properly, etc., and buy something at your local store.
True story, most of the mail order wine joints have deals with the same ‘wine makers.’ They’re often sold as different labels to throw you off, but its basically mass producer wine makers that buy the lowest grade grapes no one else is really going to use and crank out generic shit wine. THey slap different labels on them and off they go.
Try and google any of the labels sold by these companies, you won’t be able to buy them outside these clubs. Just stay away, you’re better off with 2 buck chuck from your local grocer…
Nah, the 2-buck chuck is really not drinkable. It’s true that they sell are generic “labels” but the wine from France/Italy/Germany would still be “appellation controlee”. As I recall it does taste much better than e.g. TJ’s house wine, which is really horrible.
+1 on these wines being terrible. I got them last time for next to nothing, and it still wasn’t worth it.
My wife and I drink all of our wine blind, so we don’t know what we’re having, and all this wine is crap. We drink both cheap and expensive wines. If you don’t want to spend a lot, I guarantee you can still go to Costco or Total Wine or a local grocery store, grab anything under $5 at random, and it’ll be better than the crap Martha Stewart sends you.
Where’s the Costso I can go to? Where’s Total Wine? Wine at the local grocery store? Do you mean that Chateau Diana or whatever 6% maximum alcohol wine they can sell at the local grocery store (and it’s a good thing they can’t sell anything else, since they would have even less food in the small crap grocery stores that haven’t been driven out by rising rents)? Which doesn’t mean I want this junk either.
I can’t answer any of those questions because you didn’t say where you are located; however, I have to assume there is reasonable access to the types of wines I was talking about if Chateau Diana and 6% alcohol wine are readily available.
