Terrible experience. Delivery was delayed multiple times. Customer service was not existent for any real assistance. I canceled my subscription as my initial shipment bounced around northern California.

We were not happy with the service that we got from WSJ Wine. Most of the problems were with WSJ Wine's accounting department. We rate the wine from being OK to a few good wines. The biggest problem now is WSJ Wine continues mailing us to sign up again after several requests to stop wasting your paper on us.

Very impressed! This WSJwine program has really impressed me. And, has also broadened my horizons re wine- several things that came to us as part of a special case mix ended up really impressing us! Sometimes we even ordered more of something we’d never had before! I.m Drinking one, right now! A Bergerac Sec from France that is delightful! The few times we’ve needed customer service, they have been great- very courteous and kind service. Really impressed with WSJ Wine, and we are sort of selective…

Terrible customer service. I cancelled my subscription and deleted all my personal information in my account. They charged my deleted credit card information to send me a case. I had to cancel my credit card. They still admit and defend this practice?

This club is poorly managed. Often sent the wrong items or someone else's order. Shipping is a nightmare since they expect customers to fix their mistakes (E.g. return packages to the shipping center). Customer service is poor - they will often drop your call. Poor systems maybe? The wine selection is as good as anyone else's, but the customer experience is awful. Look elsewhere.

I was really happy with this club for many months. Then I tried to get one case rescheduled. What a mistake! after several emails and phone calls I finally spoke to the most rude arrogant supervisor I have ever encountered. I have cancelled my subscription. Avoid them. Go to Total Wine and buy your cases there, you're much better off.

For starters they have zero affiliation with the Wall Street Journal. That is done just to mislead you. They have absolutely terrible customer service. I waiting on hold for 2 hours to try to cancel and never spoke to anyone. I had to call my credit card to block transactions and they still figured out a way to charge me. Had to pay to avoid collections. Stay as far away from these scam artists as you can.

Hi Christian, Thanks for your feedback and please accept our sincerest apologies for any concern. Rest assured that you can easily cancel your Wine Club at any time either by phone, email or online - although we’ll be sad to see you go! To cancel online, go to 'Wine Club Settings' and scroll to the bottom of the page. (If you simply want to take a break, that’s fine too—you can skip a case or change the timing of a delivery). We hope this information helps! Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team at 877-975-9463 from 8am - 9pm ET, or email us at customerservice@wsjwine.com if we can be of any further assistance. Best regards, WSJwine Customer Service

Cannot yet review the actual wine because though, I ordered on Jan. 30, I have received nothing. WSJ Wine website says it shipped a month ago. FedEx says it never shipped at all. WSJ Wine website pushes the estimated delivery back every week. Received a customer service reply days after I contacted them saying they requested a reorder. Nothing seems to have changed. Have not received my wine. No status change on their website. But they wasted no time in charging my card. I did not realize when I ordered that I was signing up to give interest-free loans. Pretty savvy on their end though.

I can't believe that the Wall Street Journal would lend its name to this wine club. I could write a book on all of the problems I've encountered with this club. First, they lure you to purchase a case of wine promising a highly rated wine as a bonus and consistently change the wine they ship. They claim that they replace the wine with a similar or better wine, but that's not true. For example, I ordered a case with 3 bottles of a $50 Napa Cab but received 3 bottles of a $35 Australian Cab, not at all similar. Worse yet, they often don't deliver the wine at all. I ordered 2 gift boxes of wine, but only received one. After nearly 3 months of calling customer service, they stated that the... Read More

Their wine in the discover box is all terrible, however their bordeaux box did have good wines. I switched to the premier membership and had to cancel because i never received the box I paid for. I called them, emailed them and everyone kept telling me it was coming but a month later, I still had not received the wine and they charged me for another box BEFORE receiving the first box. I canceled everything with WSJ Wines because the wine was not good enough to deal with the frustration they caused with every box. Every single box we received had at least one damaged bottle in the box.
