A mini guide with some of the best wine shops that offer delivery service, so you never miss the wine at home
In recent months we have experienced long periods in which it was not always possible to visit our favorite wine bars to taste a glass of wine.
Between tastings through digital means, online orders and home delivery service, wine lovers have found new ways to taste it, without ever giving up this pleasure. Despite purchases in big e-commerce are growing exponentially, many wine lovers know that the research and advice of the classic trusted “wine merchant”, has a great value. This is why many of us still prefer to buy it in wine shops and small specialized shops, also supporting the local economy. In this period, even the wine shops that would never have thought to debut in the digital world or to deliver the wine at the home of their customers, have had to open to innovative forms in order to continue to carry out their work. Even the wine shops that were far from wanting to experiment or use these new methods before the emergency, began to offer the delivery service. And we have tried several, so we can recommend our favorites.
From north to south of the boot, we have prepared a mini guide with some of the best wine shops that offer delivery service, so you never miss the wine at home:
