Palate Club Helps Wine Lovers Overcome the COVID Crisis by Launching Personalized Wine Shipping Nationally

California-based, startup, online wine retailer sends custom shipments to wine lovers across the USA



SAN FRANCISCO - April 29, 2020 - (Newswire.com)

San Francisco-based wine club startup Palate Club announces nationwide shipping today to ensure safe home deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The move was made after finalizing a partnership with the logistics company Studio Beverage Group, which already handles compliances and shipping for other wine companies, such as Vivino.

Palate Club is an online wine retailer that uses advanced data science technology to match customers with the top 15% of wines from around the world that match their taste. Since its May 2018 launch, the service has only been available for customers in California. This was important timing, according to French founder & CEO Nicolas Mendiharat. “More people are stuck at home from COVID-19 shutdowns and want to connect through wine. For us, wine is about humanity and savoring life,” he expresses. “Now more than ever, this message is what drives us.”

In line with similar personalization trends, as seen with companies like Netflix, the company focuses on providing a personalized wine experience through recommendations of international wines and custom subscription boxes.

Mendiharat achieved this vision with the following tactics:

  • Customers get a personalized taste profile through taking a short quiz or by blind tasting four wines from a starter wine box.

  • Members refine their profile by rating the wines in their shipments

  • Wine experts travel the world and select the top 5% of bottles for value-quality ratio

  • A team of sommeliers reviews each wine in the selection to identify its characteristics

  • Customers receive unique wine recommendations to either browse the collection or receive a flexible wine subscription

Now the majority of American wine lovers can tap into the experience of a unique and personalized wine selection shipped straight to their door.
