Get hard-to-find whiskies, unique gins and wine aplenty with these online subscription services
Ordering alcohol online is nothing new, but receiving a delivery of booze on a monthly basis is like all your Christmases have come at once (well, once a month at least!). Much like our favourite streaming services, subscribing for alcohol is just as simple. Whatever you fancy, there is a subscription service to cater.
HARD-TO-FIND WHISKIES
Whisky Loot delivers you three premium 60ml taster bottles each month, hand-selected from a range of rare scotches, single malts and New World whiskies. Each box also contains tasting notes to help you appreciate what you’re drinking. Subscription is $59 per month and you can cancel, pause or skip a box at anytime – but we’re pretty sure you won’t! whiskyloot.com
WINE AND DINE
With a super-fun online palate quiz to determine your preferences, Good Pair Days is not just another wine subscription service. As well as the sensational wines, your delivery contains tasting cards and food pairing suggestions, plus recipes, to take you to the next level of wine know-how. Each box also contains a surprise gift, and orders typically depart Sydney the next business day.
With multiple subscriptions on offer starting from as low as $54 for a box of three wines, it’s the ultimate wine experience. goodpairdays.com
FOR LOVERS OF GIN
