An Email About Fun Wine Things

There are a lot of terrible subscription boxes out there. Bright Cellars isn't one of them. Hey y'all, Nicole from Digg here. We've reached out to you a few times about Bright Cellars: the monthly wine subscription company that sends you wine you're guaranteed to love, based on your taste quiz results.

		The One Subscription Box I Won't Abandon
		Take the Quiz

	Hey y'all, Nicole from Digg here. We've reached out to you a few times about Bright Cellars: the monthly wine subscription company that sends you wine you're guaranteed to love, based on your taste quiz results. A few of us on the team originally got the subscription to vet for quality, and then a funny thing happened...we just never stopped. Here at Digg we're naturally skeptical about, well, most things — subscriptions included. And to be honest, we were planning to use the 50% new member discount to get the four bottles, then cancel immediately. But here we are, four months later, and we can't stop talking about this brand. You don't have to be a wine connoisseur. I won't speak for the rest of the team, but personally, I don't actually care what wine they send me as long as it's good. Cabernet? Great. Pinot Gris? Sure, why not. I love to try new things. Which, in the past, means I've had some pretty shitty wines. So far I've tried 16 different bottles of wine that Bright Cellars picked especially for me. The kicker: I liked every single one. I've even shared a few bottles with my coworkers, and my red-wine-only friends found themselves digging (yes I did that on purpose) the white wines. It's like a personalized present every month, and I get obnoxiously excited to see what my concierge picked out for me. Sure, I could swing by the wine store* (*bodega) and pick up some wine, but there's something so satisfying about having it curated and delivered. All this to say, we understand. Monthly subscriptions can be a commitment. But we've tried a ton, and this is one of the very few with staying power. Give Bright Cellars a shot and get 50% off your first month. If nothing more, why not just take their quiz to see which wines they'd recommend for you? You might be surprised what you discover.   Take the Quiz   Your new favorite wine, delivered each month
