Good day, readers. I saw an advertisement for Wine25 last autumn. I decided to try the Wine52 subscription box but with all white wines; I dislike red wine. Each Wine25 subscription box features a separate wine region in the world. I received the September 2022 box, and I kept the subscription for October and also December to try out the wines. Each box comes with three wines and a couple of snacks.
September 2022: Bergerac region in France
Overall, I was not happy with this box as I received a duplicate bottle of wine; it should have been three diffrent wines to try. The first was the 2021 Peau Dorée Sémillon wine, which was described as having fruity flavours, such as apple. While the wine tasted okay, it was not a particularly good wine. The second and last wine I received was the 2020 Flâner Sauvignon Blanc. This one was a little bit better and relatively easy to drink. It is a citrus and fruity flavour.
The box also came with two snacks. Tandoor Chilli Howdah Snacks is made with chickpea and spices. Harvest Snaps in Thai Sweet Chili are lentil-based snacks.
October 2022: Sicily region in Italy.
This month, I received a complimentary extra bottle of wine, which was a sparkling La Crema. Allora - Sicilian Zibibbo is made from one of the rarest grape varieties in the world dating back 5,000 years (Zibibbo). It is described as having apple taste. I disliked this wine as I felt it tasted stodgey and was hard to drink/enjoy.
I received a bag of Olly's Pretzels in salted flavour and a small packet of sour cream and chives peas.
December 2022: Emilia-Romagna region in Italy.
I received three bottles of wine. Terre dell'Asceta Pingo Grigio is described as an apple and citrus taste. Medici Ermete Trebbiano is a nutty and dry wine. Attivo organic sparkling wine is described as a dry sparkling wine. I also received a bag of paprika crisps (Weel & Truly Crunchies) and berry and white chocolate Whitworth's Shots.
I cancelled my wine subscription because I have a lot of wines to get through as I do not drink wine that often.
