@ 2020 Tommaso Morosetti5/10What a wine!
Are you looking for goodies? You can find them on “What a wine!”, the start-up dedicated to quality Italian wine, which in addition to offering you small and medium-sized wineries, takes you to discover the territories, with itineraries for experts and beginners, and also with advice on how to pair the dishes. It is up to you to decide how often and how to receive the bottles: at will, when and how much you want, with deliveries in a maximum of two days, and with the monthly subscription “What a Box!” which offers, every month, three bottles – surprisingly – of a selected producer and a card that tells the story of the winery and its wines. In each box there is also a product of an Italian company engaged in the social sector, for example a bag made with eco-friendly fabrics from Tanzania. Another idea? “What a gift!”: box in which the bottles are wrapped in a red tissue, which provides the possibility to insert a personalized card.

6/10Sommelier Wine Box
Sommelier Wine Box brought the subscription model already widespread in the United States to Italy. Basically it does what you would do if you were a wine expert, according to your preferences: you register, indicate the most popular types of wines, and decide the type of subscription: “Enthusiastic” for those who want to know the basics, “Passionate” for those who already know something and want to refine the palate, “Expert” with top-of-the-range or «customized» bottles. All this with the support of experts among the best sommeliers in Italy who give you advice and choose the bottles for you. You can receive 3 per month or less, request a refund if a bottle does not meet your requirements, and even cancel your subscription whenever you want. Another reason we like it is that labels are always niche.

You have tried Bibo? It is the app entirely dedicated to beverage, with over 230 labels including wines, spirits and beers, which are its true specialty. Very convenient, because the delivery to Rome and Milan (for now) is fast and at the weekend it is until two in the morning, and sustainable because the riders are hired with a regular contract and because Bibo allocates a part of the revenues to finance carbon removal projects. .
