Wine is Awesome with Wine Awesomeness

Wine is Awesome. Wine at your door is even Awesomer.

The types of wine on the market: five. The different kinds of wines on the market: at least 200. The total number of wine grape varieties: more than 1000. The time you or (we) have picking the next bottle for the summer ahead, a chill night in with the lady friend, or the bottle to gift at your boss’ birthday party: not enough. That is why when our crew found the neat, modern, and simple way to have wine dropped at your door from the brand Wine Awesomeness- we thought, hey how awesome.

Wine Awesomeness brings the blends you love, the ones you never tried, and the one’s you should give a shot- right to your door, for a fraction of the price of that wine club you signed up for during quarantine. Wine options based on grape, region of the world, blend, and more all come bottled up and boxed, shipped, and left right at your door ready for whatever night, evening, or event lies ahead. This is Wine Awesomeness.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Initially jumping on the website to pick our wine could not be more simple. With a lineup of wines offered, one would assume it would be quite overwhelming trying to decide. Nope- not here. Jump on and instantly find a shop by section, where each wine they sell is categorized by grape, country, or type.

The selections are rather robust, and feature all sorts of wine selections and bottles to try. Right from the start, you get to widdle the options of what you are looking for down to a few easy to look at choices.

  • Grape: You can explore wines with common blends you already know of- from Cab’s to Syrah’s and all in between.

  • Country: Want something from the good ole USA? Got it. Trying a bottle from France? Sure, they have that too.

  • Type: Like bubbles? Add it to the cart and toss in a nice Red while you are at it.

The lineup of wines is really vast on Wine Awesomeness. The easy to navigate website, simple pictures and descriptions of each blend, and the format in which you can build your cart is really easy to use. With the variety, selection based on region, and the amount of grapes and blends they offer, there really is a wine on here for everyone.

Our initial duuude impression: Nothing to whine about here.

TESTING IT OUT

Diving further into the review, we wanted to explore the varieties offered by Wine Awesomeness. Our crew started navigating the website to start grabbing a few wines to toss in the cart and order.


By Grape

KEY FEATURES:

  • Cabernet Sauvignon

  • Chardonnay

  • Pinot Noir

  • Sauvignon Blanc

  • Shiraz/Syrah

The platform is super cool. Once you click on shop “by grape” each bottle they currently feature is displayed. Here, the robust amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and beyond is easy to explore. Simple hover over the bottle you have your eye on and a pop up elements appears showing you the descriptions of this bottle, as well as any ratings it has from those who have tried it. The upfront pricing is clear what you would pay for this bottle, and the variety has a solid range of a $15+ bottle of wine.


By Country

KEY FEATURES:

  • USA

  • France

  • Italy

  • Spain/Portugal

  • Chile/Argentina

  • South Africa

  • Germany

  • Austria

The amount of Countries featured on Wine Awesomeness is really diverse. From one site you can grab a bottle from USA, Italy, Chile, and Germany all on one order. Each region offers a different flavor profile, and the Cellars in which these bottles come from are not just a no-name brand. These are some of the best curated bottles with some rather high consumer ratings on a variety of bottles.


By Type

KEY FEATURES:

  • Red

  • White

  • Rose

  • Sparkling

The type of wine is often on of the first things a person goes through in their mind when nabbing their next bottle. For some red is more a winter wine, Rose a summer. Here you can explore the variety blends under each type of wine and try a mix and match or a variety of Red’s if you so choose. Not all Sparkling’s are the same, and where you can see what lineup to try and where to explore new blends.

Adding bottles to the cart and ordering is really straight forward and simple. The wines arrive rather quick, and each bottle was solid. No bitter bottles, sour bottles, or disappointing flavors from a wine subscription box service like this. The bottle price point was on par with some of the other blends we have tried from other wineries, and for the variety and options on Wine Awesomeness, the price and selection is really something unique.

STANDOUT FEATURES

The selection, price point, and flavors of each bottle was on point with what we would expect from such a service. There are some key standout features worth noting:

  • The rating system really helps you see what others liked about the wine, so you can be informed if you are out of the loop on what direction to go

  • The pricing really is reasonable as we have found some of these type services to be rather high for what you get shipped

  • The regions, grapes, and types of wine is rather large in variety, giving you some really cool new options to try if you are up for something new

  • The tracking process and “in the know” emails on order progress helps you time when to be home so you can sign for the wine!

Overall, Wine Awesomeness lives up to their name when it comes to easy, fast, and great tasting wine options that are delivered right to your door.

BONUS FEATURES

As a bonus feature, Wine Awesomeness offers unique gift boxes for personal and or corporate needs. In addition to this, they feature their back-label page that offers a neat range of articles from recipes to lifestyle posts and more on how to enjoy your new wine.

Overall duuude Factor: Wine Delivery has never been so Awesome.
