If you love wine but don't know where to start, then our WineSpark Starter Pack is for you.

It’s the perfect introduction to WineSpark and its winemakers. In the case you'll get the following wines:

  • Stepp Pinot Noir Buntsandstein 2022 - one of our most popular reds, from the up-and-coming Pfalz region in Germany. It's aged in Grand Cru Burgundy oak barrels, which makes it even more luxurious
  • A Coroa Godello 2024 - my white wine discovery of the year, from the magical Valdeorras region in Galicia. ' A beautiful wine at an exceptional price' according to John Wilson in The Irish Times
  • Cillar de Silos Ribera del Duero Crianza 2021 - a rich, polished Tempranillo which is the house wine in high-end restaurants across northern Spain - an amazing example of affordable and approachable Ribera
  • Mantel Blanco Verdejo 2024 - fresh, crisp and delicious, the most versatile white wine - unbelievably drinkable on its own, but goes with so many dishes
  • Lorca Poético Malbec 2021 - a powerful red from Mendoza, aged for 12 months in French and American oak, and a further year and a half in bottle before release
  • Terre des Dames La Dame 2022 - a classic Languedoc blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. My go-to house red, it’s that delicious. You can serve it slightly chilled and it will make anything off the grill sing.

    This case would cost €195 if you bought the wines through traditional channels - with standard retail markups. Yikes.

    However for members like you, it's yours for €113.34. That’s the exact cost of the wine plus a 10% margin, delivered to your door. And absolutely nothing else.

    For just €15 membership a month, you’ll have saved €82 on six bottles alone.

    FOR IRELAND

    We know how important it is to get your wine order quickly and efficiently. So we’ve partnered with UPS to offer next-day delivery on our wines.

    Great selection of wines

    We have only tried the Pinot Noir and the Malbec so far (trying to take it easy before Christmas!). But we loved both, probably the Malbec a little more then the Pinot Noir. Lovely depth, and not too sweet. And it’s great to get expert guidance - makes you more likely to try something new!

    I have ordered this selection a number of times as it represents excellent value for money.

    Winespark offers a superb way to select wine. Each bottle is expertly reviewed and never disappoints.
    Takes the guesswork out of the wine buying experience.

    Thank you Bernard! Cheers Eamon

    Littlw disappointed in the Meltwater, really liked the Malbec and Rioja and Stepp

    Sorry to hear you weren't a fan of the Meltwater John but very glad the reds were liked!

    Excellent value, interesting wines

    I'm drinking the Stepp pinot noir to ameliorate an extended working day, and enjoying it very much. New World in style without being in-your-face and without the astringency I've noticed in some German PNs. The others I've tasted have all had a bit of character, especially the Languedoc. The malbec too had some structure as well as power. Now I sound like I'm pretending I know what I'm talking about, which I don't really.
    I'll be ordering again.

    Stepp Pinot Noir is the best way to ameliorate an extended working day! You definitely know what you're talking about, thank you Simon!

    Stunning Crianza & Syrah Grenache

    I am only half way through my starter pack which was delivered very promptly.
    Oscar's Ribera del Crianza was 5 star, really enjoyed it.
    Syrah Grenache was equally stunning
    I was less enthusiastic on Tim's Shiraz, found it a bit heavy for me.
    I and my wife are eagerly looking forward to trying the whites especially Meltwater Sauvignon. Also the Pinot Noir. For now very happy so far.

    So pleased to hear you're happy so far John – thank you for trying us out!

    Delighted with the starter pack

    Stand outs were the Strepp pinot noir, the Tim Smith Shiraz and Carinus Chenin Blanc though we liked them all. The quality across the collection was clear. I think I'm hooked and we look forward to ordering again.

    Absolutely chuffed that the Starter Pack hit the mark, Dennis!

    An unmatched birthday gift

    Rare to see a brand match the quality of their offer to the value they provide. A noticeable difference in the quality of wine at really affordable prices but as important is advice from the experts that comes from being a member. The starter pack with 6 bottle as a gift is a must. great touches with tasting notes. Looking forward to the next order.

    Thank you so much for the kind words, William!
