Membership & General Questions

What is ID Wine Club?

ID Wine Club is a journey of true crime and true wines unlike any other wine club. Every other month you’ll receive an exclusive selection of wines delivered to your door in one specially curated package complete with tasting notes that reveal the facts & true stories behind each wine.
Fun, collectable and deliciously mysterious – the collectable Investigation Discovery themed wines are the perfect partners in crime to watch with your favorite ID shows. The first shipment comes with 3 very special ID themed wines, each based on titles or personalities from the network. Each shipment that follows will contain a different ID themed wine. Experience your favorite ID shows while investigating the world of wine.

How can I become a member of The ID Wine Club?

To become a member of The ID Wine Club, simply register here.

How often will I receive wine shipments?

After enrolling, your first shipment of wine will be processed right away. You will continue to receive shipments of wines at your desired frequency for as long as you like. You can modify your shipping dates at any time via our website or by contacting Member Services. There are no forms to fill out, phone calls to make or emails to send. The wine comes to you automatically, unless you call to cancel.

How many ID Themed wines do I receive in each shipment?

You will receive three ID-Themed wines in your first shipment. In every shipment after the first one, you will receive one new ID Themed wine. If you opt-in for monthly shipments (12 x a year), a new ID-Themed wine will come every two months, not every month.

How do I know I’m getting the right wines for me?

With over 100 years of combined experience, our wine curators apply the most exacting standards to every bottle they taste. Our other staffers also taste the wines and share their opinions, and only one out of every fifty bottles are selected from the thousands of wines our experts evaluate from around the globe. Therefore, you get only the best bottles vetted by our wine curators and selected by our personalization technology to match your Wine Profile.

Am I obligated to continue with The ID Wine Club for any length of time?

No, you have the option to cancel at any time, and you will not be billed further once you cancel. There is no penalty for canceling. How long you stay with us is entirely up to you.

How can you offer such low prices on fine wine?

We live by a simple rule: To match you with the wine that suits your preferences and fits your budget. Many of the wines we sell were crafted by working directly with wineries and vineyards around the world, to eliminate the middleman and pass along the savings to you.
