 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Value for money: Wines are priced competitively, offering high quality and handcrafted bottles at affordable rates, particularly through introductory deals and mixed cases.
Product variety: The selection includes a wide range of red, white, and international wines, as well as curated mystery boxes and premium options.
Delivery speed: Orders are processed and dispatched quickly, often arriving ahead of schedule even in regional areas.
Customer support: Personal wine advisers and sales representatives provide helpful recommendations and resolve issues such as damaged bottles or incorrect addresses.
Verdict

Virgin Wines is highly regarded for its diverse selection of quality wines and strong value for money, supported by efficient delivery and helpful personal advisers.

2  Ian Strover  · The quality of the wines received in their bundles was very poor, unfortunately. But the bonus points were brilliant!
5  Nicole Layton  · Never received a bad bottle in in the packs of red I order .
5  Darren Prosser  · Fast delivery and great range. I buy the 15 regularly
5  Kirra  · Love it! Great wine varieties and prices. I always jump on the deals
4  David  · Good variety, quality and value overall. And helps to keep velocity points ticking over. Once delivered to wrong address but this was fairly resolved.
1  lynne n.  · I ordered and paid for my wines sixteen days ago and still have not received them. My previous order was also delayed. I will not use this company again

Enjoy my relationship with VW & have been using for many years now. On the odd occasion if there is a wine I don't like or late delivery they always make it up to me. I like to vary my orders between everyday quaffing wines, fine premium wines and some international wines. This year I have purchased the premium Xmas pack and I am looking forward to taking delivery in December!

Virgin Wines has a solid collection from around the world. It's pretty easy to find good wines at all price-points. Delivery is fast and easy. Returns are a backstop for wines you don't like, but that is a rarity as the quality is great. Keep up the good work!

I brought some wine for my elderly parents. Didn't realise until 2 months later that I had been signed up for a subscription. I called up to ask for my money back and cancel the 2nd delivery which was on its way, (I only found out when they charged my card) I told the lady on the phone that I didn't know I was signed up to the plan and also that… Read more

it is so much money and I couldn't afford it. She did arrange the refund. However just as we were ending the call, I asked "so I am completely out of the plan right" only at that point did she say no, you will receive an email in a month asking if you want to leave. So she knew that I was shocked by the charge, didn't know I had been signed up to the plan, but had decided to frame the conversation as giving my refund back and strategically not address that I was still on their plan. It is disgraceful that a company as big as Virgin has to decieve customers to run their business.

Virgin wines, eagerly waiting to taste – I'd love to be able to answer the question Dan Leach (the wine guy) Virgin wines asked me in an email I received, Am I enjoying the wines??? .. Apparently I made a great selection.. Only problem is I haven't received them. Order procces was easy, communication has been excellent.. But I think they need a new delivery company, Hopefully can write a glowing review of the wines very soon

Wine not received – I'm posting this review on the invitation of virgin wines. I ordered two boxes - one was partially delivered - it contained four of the six bottles I ordered (photo below). There was plenty of room in the box for six wines so it's baffling why only four were included. The other box never arrived. After a few weeks I called customer service and… Read more

they sent out another box but that never arrived either. I'll have to contact them for a refund. I also paid for unlimited shipping...ahahaha, how stupid of me! VERY DISAPPOINTING. Vinomofo is WAY better.

You need to find a different transport company to deliver you wines. The you are currently using is hopeless. Show reply

 Follow-up  · Special delivery instructions require the carton to be left at the back steps in the carport. When my regular driver is on, she comes up the driveway and places the carton near the back steps. When someone else is doing the run, I don't even receive a msg informing me that it has been delivered . I go around to the front at about 3 or 4 pm to… Read more

 Follow-up  · Since changing to Australian Post for my wine deliveries, things are much better. Maybe not exactly as requested but at least the wine carton is being left around the back in the carport and not in my front graden.

The recent wines that I have received are very enjoyable. The White wines are lovely chilled and the Red wine goes well with a good steak. Great value for the money and delivery is on time.

Ordered my wine online, which was easy. Wine was delivered within 5-6 days, and there was a long weekend in between. Have sampled some of the wines, very pleased with my purchase.

 Follow-up  · Ordered red wines, which included Angas King, Caravan Petit Syrah, Redheads, Red River Gum Cab Sav. Delivery was excellent as was the packaging. Excellent service.

If I could rate this any lower, I would. The customer relations person I spoke with was great. Unfortunately, they are the face of a terrible company whose number one objective is to be the most important factor in the transaction. Virgin Wines was unwilling to rectify their mistake and instead insisted that the customer cover it. shameful behaviour.

PayPay transaction went through straight away. 2 weeks later still no wine. Response from Virgin Wines made it clear their system doesn't play nice with PayPal. All they did was tell me they were cancelling the charge to pay pal and tell me to order it again myself. Avoid this company. Dodgy time wasting experience.

I initially purchased a box heavily discounted Virgin Wines some years ago. Then for some reason, I started receiving regular shipments which has continued to date. Some of the wines are OK. Now I receive phone calls in the middle of my golf game and Im not happy whilst putting. Not happy Jan.

 Follow-up  · The people in customer service are just doing their job, like following up and that's fine. I spread my wings to other online wine sites ordering as required, not just Virgin. Because I follow other sites, if Virgin offer something which cannot be refused, I may seriously consider the offer.

Fantastic Intro Value: The initial sign-up deal was a steal. Getting a mixed case of 12 handcrafted bottles at a deep discount made the per-bottle cost extremely low for the quality received. Show reply

Great wines, great prices, very fast delivery. I like the mystery boxes, I have gotten some very pricey bottles at a fraction of the price at times. I have always been impressed with their reds, Australian or international varieties. If I buy any more wine my wife will kick me out. Show reply

Tried to cancel the order when I received notice and payment advice. I didn't receive a "Tracking email" so want't aware the order was on its way. Also I just want to order wine when I need it. Show reply

 Follow-up  · Then Virgin team were very helpful and gave me the option to keep the order at a reduced price.

The prices and range are good, but although I order infrequently I still seem to run into issues with postage. Right now I've been waiting nearly three weeks for an order and this is not the first time. So I would suggest order here if you don't care too much about when you'll actually get the wine.

They do offer a wide variety of product and their order processing and delivery is quite effective. My only grouch is that some of their red wines, mainly in the lower priced mixed packs, are a bit ‘newish’ and this reflects in their taste which can be off putting. Show reply

I have used Virgin Wines in the past but, unlikely to do so in the future. I received a email advertising a voucher for a $40 reduction on a dozen bottles.

When I phoned to query this, I was advised that the voucher was only valid for a minimum purchase… Read more

amount (which was above my order value). Nowhere in the advertisement or during the order purchase process was a minimum amount mentioned. If fact, the opposite, the voucher was accepted but, the full price was changed at checkout. As this was blatant false advertising, I cancelled the order and now I’m waiting for my money back.
