Can I customize my wine club shipment or replace some of the wines in the club shipment?
No, we are unable to accommodate customizable club shipments. All club shipments are standardized with our preselection. This allows us to send you the best wines we offer at the most valued cost for you. We encourage members to add to their club shipments if they are interested in wines outside of the shipment.

Can I double my club shipment or add on any wines I want in addition to my club shipment?
Yes! You may double your fun by duplicating your club shipment. You may also opt in for our “Wise Upgrade” wine package or hand select your favorite B Wise wines to add on to your club shipment.

Do you offer any case discounts or discounts on the wines?
No, we do not discount any wines other than the member discount of 15% off current vintages of Wisdom & Trios. Due to our small nature of a boutique winery we do not have the capacity to offer any case discounts.
