To me, there's no such thing as the perfect wine club.

I have never belonged to a wine club, and I never will. I have no
interest in such clubs. I want to pick what I drink myself, and I'm
not interested in what a club chooses for me.

I don't belong to the Book-of-the-month club either, for exactly the
same reason.
