Looking to sign up for a wine subscription service but don't know where to start? For our money, it's hard to go past Good Pair Days. Not only does it offer customisable plans designed to suit your taste, but you also get handy extras like food pairings and matching recipes.

It's also picked up plenty of positive ratings from Aussie drinkers. With an average score of 5/5 from over 490 ratings on ProductReview.com.au, Good Pair Days is our pick as the best overall wine club.

When you sign up with Good Pair Days, you complete a palate quiz. The provider's team of "wine explorers" then find three wines that match your personal tastes, with a focus on value for money. You can then take these suggestions to create your own personalised wine delivery, or choose your bottles from the entire Good Pair Days range.

Your wine is then delivered to your door at your desired frequency (monthly, every second month or quarterly). You also receive tasting cards, food pairings and matching recipes, so it's not necessarily all about the wine.

You can update your drinking preferences as you learn more and get a better understanding of what you like. You can also manage your account via a smartphone app, and cancel or change your delivery plan whenever you want.

Billed as a "personalised wine adventure", Good Pair Days is designed to make it easy to discover new wines that match your taste preferences. So if you're searching for the right wine subscription for your needs, it's a good option.

If you enjoy picking up a bargain just as much as you enjoy discovering a good drop, there are lots of good reasons to check out Vinomofo. Not only does it boast plenty of positive reviews on sites like Facebook and ProductReview.com.au, but it makes it easy to enjoy regular wine deliveries without breaking the bank.

Vinomofo offers a choice of two wine club memberships: the Mofo Club and the Black Market Club.

The Mofo Club offers 12 bottles of wine starting from $159 (claimed RRP of over $300), with cases delivered every 1, 2 or 3 months. You can choose to receive reds, whites or a mix of the two, and prices vary depending on the option you select. At $159 for a white case, $179 for mixed and $199 for reds, that works out to roughly $13-$17 a bottle. You can also choose to exclude specific varieties that you don't like, such as pinot noir, grenache, chardonnay and sav blanc.

The Black Market Club offers a wine subscription for those on a tighter budget. At $139 for 12 bottles of wine, it works out to less than $12 a bottle, with claimed savings of 60-70% off RRP. The included wines are a mix of reds and whites, and you can choose to receive your delivery every one or two months.

It's easy, affordable and perfect for wine drinkers who don't take themselves too seriously. And with the freedom to pause, skip or cancel your subscription, Vinomofo allows you to keep things flexible.

If you're a wine connoisseur, or if you're keen to become one, there are lots of good reasons to check out The Wine Collective. Not only does this provider boast a number of positive Google reviews, but it also offers a range of premium selections for those drinkers that prefer a high-end drop or two. As a result, The Wine Collective is our pick as the best luxury wine club.

The Wine Collective was once a part of The Wine Society, which was founded in 1946. Following a union with several other online wine retailers, including Cracka Wines and Wine Growers Direct, The Wine Collective aims to offer access to a huge range of Australian and international wines.

As part of this goal, it offers more than 10 wine subscriptions, including several offered at the higher end of the market. Some of the available options include the Sommelier's Selection ($345 per case of 12), which features premium wines chosen for their food-matching characteristics, and the Founders' Collection ($445 per case of 12), which introduces you to premium wines from Australia and overseas.

Then there's the Decanter Collection ($680 per case of 12), an ultra-premium collection delivered twice a year. These fine wines are made in small batches and, therefore, only have limited availability, so are a good option if you're looking to discover something new.

Delivery for other subscriptions in The Wine Collective range is typically monthly or quarterly, while the high-end cases come with tasting notes and winery profiles. So if you're looking to sign up for a luxury wine subscription, The Wine Collective is well worth a closer look.

Good Pair Days took the win as our top overall pick, and it features again here as the best wine club for foodies. Not only does it boast an impressive number of 5-star reviews — it scores a perfect 5/5 rating from over 460 ProductReview.com.au ratings — but it also offers a number of features designed to help you match the wine you're drinking with the perfect food.

It all starts with the Good Pair Days palate quiz, which offers a simple way for the provider's team of sommeliers to get a handle on your taste preferences. You'll then be matched with wines that suit your palate, with personalised recommendations to help you choose wines you'll love.

The wines are then delivered to your door at your chosen delivery frequency, but with Good Pair Days, it's not just about the wine.

There's also a rewards program on offer and you can earn points and badges for trying new wine. Earn enough points and you get a surprise gift in your wine delivery.

Flexibility is another key feature of a Good Pair Days subscription. You have the freedom to choose your own wines if you want, while you can also update your taste preferences as they change and you develop a better understanding of what you do and don't like. And because you can skip a delivery, change the frequency or cancel your subscription at any time, you don't need to worry about lock-in contracts.

In short, if you want to treat your taste buds, Good Pair Days could be the perfect accompaniment.
