Laithwaite’s
Laithwaite's is quarterly and gives choice between red wine and white wine with huge savings. For your first box you can enjoy a tempting introductory selection of wine; choose from a mixed, red or white case or Season's Favourites. After that, you'll be sent a new case every four weeks – saving at least 10%. Set your preferences to what wines you like. You can swap your wines, delay delivery, miss a case altogether … or even cancel your plan at any time.
The Bottle Club
Whether it's a classic wine or beer or an unusual spirit you're after, The Bottle Club has it all - there is even a specific section for cocktails and mixers! For those who can't decide what they want, it's worth keeping an eye on their offers page for inspiration, with the likes of Bailey's Red Velvet Cupcake liqueur and Pimm's strawberry and mint liqueur on offer. While it's not necessarily a subscription service, it allows customers to select their tipples of choice and their order should be on your doorstep within 3-5 working days, or priority delivery within 1-3 days.

Phillip has put his stamp on two box wines, a red and a white from local wine cooperatives in Italy. If you normally turn your nose up at box wine, give these ones a go. They're high-quality, artisan tipples and have the equivalent of three bottles in each box that last in freshness for six weeks. We know Holly's a fan, just check out her Instagram post. The wine is available to buy online and in-store at Waitrose.
