1. Winc
Winc is one of the more popular web-exclusive alcohol services you'll find. The site essentially functions as a wine membership club, so vino fans will be particularly stoked about this deal.

Simply sign up for the free membership and the promo will automatically be applied to your cart. (For instance, my box of white wine was originally $63.96, but dropped down to $43.96 once I entered my email.) Existing customers can alternately save 10% on 12 or more bottles with no code needed.
Here's how the club works: After taking a six-question quiz to learn more about your tastes, you'll get a custom, four-bottle box from the site that's comprised of two reds and two whites, three reds and one white or three whites and one red. After receiving your initial shipment and trying your bottles out, you can rate each wine to better tailor your next box. Members can skip a monthly box at any given time, free of charge, and cancellation is easy thanks to the brand’s no-commitment policy.
