So, what’s special about Our Glass? Well, it’s a genuine brand founded on friendship. You see, Ben and Martin are pals who go way back and they’re both big-time wine enthusiasts. They’ve spent years trying bottles from all over the world and compiling a knock-out selection of 1,500 wines that they truly endorse.

But, while these guys are serious about wine, they don’t want you to have to be. Their plan is to make trying new and different wines as easy as possible by pulling together a box of three or six bottles based on what types you like.

Wines are delivered monthly and membership is flexible, so if you’d like to pause you can at any time. Your bottles will arrive in sturdy, cardboard packaging with a fun, brightly-coloured wine guide.

This guide is perfect for newbies, explaining tips which are simple (but sound impressive when you tell your friends later) like how wine is alive to its surroundings so you shouldn’t keep it in an area with lots of changing smells, light and temperatures. Or, that if you’re serving a bottle within the next few hours you should stand it on its end, as this will stop the sediment going straight into your glass.

You can also access lots of interesting information about the bottles you’ve been given online, so that you can learn the stories and culture behind what you’re drinking.
