We've reviewed many wine of the month clubs and a lot of people have been asking about our favorite “Sweet Wine of the month clubs”, where only delicious sweet wines are delivered.
Although most of our visitors seem to be looking for red wine club reviews, my personal favorite wines (and definitely that of my husband!) are sweet white wines. You do not see a lot of clubs devoted to them, so I decided to take a closer look at which clubs would be ideal for us sweet wine drinkers. I compared across all of the wine clubs I've personally tried and came up with my favorite sweet wine club options.
One of my new favorites is the sweet wine club from Firstleaf.
What Are Sweet Wines?
Unfortunately, most varietals do not automatically signify that they are sweet (except White Zinfandel, which is a whole other blog post). However, there are quite a few white wines that sweet wine drinkers will generally like. You might be looking for a:
- Riesling of the Month Club
- Pinot Grigio of the Month Club
- Viognier of the Month Club
- Gerwurztraminer of the Month Club
- Moscato of the Month Club
Although there are other varietals as well that could be considered sweet (along with some reds as well), those are the ones that you would probably be most likely to recognize. If you enjoy sweet wine and think that you only like white or blush, do not fear the sweet red wines! You may actually find some that you like more than sweet whites.
Where Can I Get Sweet Wine Clubs?
Your first thought might be to order a Chardonnay of the month club. That's not a bad choice, but understand that not all Chardonnay are going to be sweet (especially if they are dry or oaky) and are not likely to appeal to REAL sweet wine drinkers. A wine club where you can choose all white wines like The California Wine Club would be the same. You will get some sweet every now again, but I would not count on it.
Firstleaf Wine Club
Until recently, Firstleaf Wine Club wasn't a club known to specialize in only sweet wines, because they typically use technology to match wines with your tastes, based on the outcome of your initial taste quiz and subsequent ratings of your deliveries.
Firstleaf is known to customize deliveries for each customer, ensuring everyone receives only the their favorite wines. Your first shipment is 6 bottle for $40, or about $7 a bottle.
If you don't want to select the sweet wine club I mentioned at the top of the article, you can let them figure out what you like and use their normal process to order.
You first take a quiz where you are asked questions about different flavors that you like. They then match your profile with wines that their algorithm predicts you will enjoy. This will ensure that you receive a variety of different sweet wines in every shipment–ranging from Moscato to Riesling and including some you have probably never even heard of!

One of the best things about ordering a wine club as opposed to just buying bottles of sweet wine as a gift (or even for yourself) is that with a club you have experts choosing a variety of wines for you. You might be surprised at how many sweet wines are available!
