What I’m Drinking Lately: My Honest Take on Winc Wines
There’s something about opening a pretty bottle of wine at home that instantly elevates an ordinary evening. Whether I’m cooking dinner, winding down after a long day, or hosting friends, sipping on a crisp beverage takes it up a notch. Lately, I’ve been exploring wines from Winc, and I wanted to share a few that have genuinely stood out to me.
Because if I’m recommending something, it has to be worth it.
Why I Tried Winc
I originally discovered Winc because I loved the idea of curated, delivered-to-your-door wines that felt a little more unique than what I typically grab at the store. The experience is personalized—you take a quick quiz, and they tailor selections based on your taste preferences.
But what really matters is this:
👉 Are the wines actually good?
Short answer: some are really good.
The Standouts
🍾 Mermaid Tears (yes, the name alone…)
This one immediately caught my eye—and not just because of the label.
It’s light, slightly playful, and perfect for:
• cooking nights
• casual girls’ nights
• or when you just want something fun and different
It feels less “serious wine” and more experience, which I honestly love.
This is much more my “everyday elevated” wine.
It’s:
• crisp
• slightly spritzy
• super easy to drink
I love this for:
• afternoons on the patio
• light dinners
• or even just a quiet moment to myself
It feels fresh and clean without being boring—which is harder to find than you’d think.
What I Like About Winc (and What I Don’t)
What I like:
• The convenience (no last-minute store runs)
• The variety—you get to try wines you wouldn’t normally pick
• The branding + experience (it feels curated, not generic)
What to know:
• Not every bottle is a hit (just being honest)
• You may need to tweak your preferences over time
• It’s best if you enjoy discovering new wines vs. sticking to one favorite
Who I Think Winc Is Perfect For
Winc is a great fit if you:
• love trying new things
• enjoy aesthetic, well-branded products
• want wine delivered without overthinking it
It’s probably not ideal if you:
• are very specific about one type of wine
• only drink high-end or collector-level bottles
Final Thoughts
For me, Winc has been less about replacing my go-to wines and more about adding something fun and unexpected into my routine.
And honestly? That’s what I want right now.
A little ease. A little beauty. And a really good glass of wine at the end of the day.
