FAQ
Do I have to be a student or can this just be done as a fun monthly activity?
The Open Label membership is geared for all wine lovers – enthusiasts and students. Enthusiasts benefit from learning more about varieties and regions, and students can practice and build on what they know!
Where to the wines come from?
Open Label memberships have wine lists with links to accessible online shops like wine.com (where you can purchase the bottles immediately) OR you can print the list and bring it to your favorite wine shop, to pick out the bottles yourself or ask a retailer to help you choose! There are suggestions listed for each region, and while you don’t have to pick those exact wines, make sure you do choose a bottle from the specific sub-region listed.
How many wines should I choose?
For Open Label memberships you can order as many bottles as you’d like! The best experience would include grabbing a bottle for each variety/region listed on the wine list (wines 1-4). Sometimes the wine lists include ‘optional wines’ if you want to taste more than 4! I would suggest tasting along with at least 2 wines, so you can compare them!
Can I join the calls with a group?
Absolutely! Invite your friends to share in the experience!
Can I pause or cancel my membership
Yes you can!
For Open Label: On the Hub page there will be a button that says ‘manage my account’ that you can click on to either pause for the next month, or cancel.
