Wine Club
Most clubs post you a box and leave you to it. Ours comes with a community of social wine lovers — a room of people who taste, debate and drink together.
The Wine Library has been on Oxford Street since 2010. The box is the easy part — anyone can send you a box. What you're actually joining is a standing group of people who sit down together every month, get first look at the good stuff before it hits the list, and have an opinion about all of it.
What you're joining
A room full of people who actually like wine and want to talk about it.
Curious people who are still learning, still debating what's in the glass, and happy to share what they've found. Something about a bottle on a table makes strangers talk.
The monthly table. Half the room already knows the other half.
- The tastings. Every month we go somewhere. Greece, Georgia, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Chile — one country, one table, wines you won't find on a Sydney list by accident. Members hear first and sit down knowing half the room.
- Bring someone new. Members bring a new guest to the monthly tasting at half price. One guest, every month.
- First access. Small allocations and new releases go to members before they go on the list. Some never make the list at all.
- Where to go. Tell us where you're travelling — the Hunter, the Yarra, Burgundy, Etna — and we'll send the region guide. Which cellar doors are worth the drive, which need an appointment, where to eat after. The real list, not the tourist one.
Blind tasting dinners
No labels. No idea what you're drinking. Considerably more fun than that sounds.
Twelve seats, dinner on the table, everything poured blind until the reveal at the end. Most people find out they like something they'd never have ordered. That's rather the point.
Blindfolds on. Twelve seats, no labels, dinner on the table.
- Members' BYO. We don't do BYO. Members do. Flag it when you book — dining nights, one bottle from your own cellar, at member corkage.
- Wine dinners and masterclasses. Winemakers, importers, and the occasional long lunch.
A month at the Library
Candles down, glasses up. A monthly tasting, a private dinner, and whatever else the calendar throws at us.

What arrives
Three, six or twelve bottles a month, in the first week.
Red, white or mixed. Tell us you love skin contact, sparkling, rosé or dessert and we'll build around it. Tell us what you didn't like and we'll adjust the next one.
The booklet
What the wine is, who made it, what to eat with it, and whether to drink it now or forget about it for five years.
The palate session
Half an hour at the bar with a somm, once a year. We work out what you actually like, not what you think you should.
The guarantee
If we're off the mark, book a free in-person tasting with one of our sommeliers and we'll put it right.
No lock-ins. Holidays, a change of taste, or just needing a break — pause, skip or cancel anytime, no questions asked.
