The UK's Original Wine and Book Subscription Box. About us! Words With Wine is the UK’s first subscription club for books and wine!

We deliver a carefully selected pairing of wine and literature to you each month. How it works

Every month, our members will receive a surprise book and matching wine through the post. Each box includes the book of the month - including new independent authors as well as all your favourites. We pair each book with a full-size bottle of wine hand-picked to compliment your book. We have even includ

ed an information card to explain what to expect from each bottle of wine and information about the book and the author. Members can then log on to our exclusive forum to chat to likeminded book and wine lovers and discuss what they loved (and didn't love!) about this month’s pairing. Each box is £25, and members have the choice of three membership options: 1 month, 3 months (the perfect gift!) or 12 months. Words With Wine is commitment-free, and members can cancel at any time. How it all began

Lockdown has been hard for everyone across the entire world, it has stopped us from attending social activities we once took for granted and kept us locked up in our homes with far more spare time than we ever dreamed of! Words With Wine was created by Anna Smith during lockdown while reminiscing about her separate book club and wine club she attended before lockdown. Missing the community aspect of both clubs and never straying far from her go to wine or book genre, she decided to combine the two and create the UK’s first wine and book subscription club. The mission of Words With Wine is to encourage wine and book lovers to try different wines and read genres they might not pick themselves, all while supporting new authors, small wine regions and independent suppliers.

We’ve got a few new faces around here, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself 👋🍷📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started Words With Wine in the middle of lockdown (launched April 2021) because I love two things a little too much… reading and wine 🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the moment I’m loving romantasy reads and anything sparkling ✨🍾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alongside Words With Wine, I also run a mobile wine tasting business called SWAALLY with a fellow wine lover — bringing the tasting experience to you 🍇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently got married in Portugal 🇵🇹 (after a very long wine decision process… we went with for the fizz and PIRR Wine Portuguese red, white and rosé — all absolute hits!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when I’m not working, I’m in the countryside with my husband and our pointer dog, currently building our dream home… complete with an under-the-stairs wine cellar I can’t wait to show you 👀🍷✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for being here 🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

ps. Swipe for sneak peak at our wedding!

June’s pairing is a little different — and that’s why we love it.

📚🍷 This month we’re matching The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak with the 2023 Narince Chardonnay from Kuzubağ.

A Turkish story paired with a Turkish wine makes this one of our most immersive pairings yet: rich, atmospheric pages alongside bright citrus, stone fruit, and a beautifully fresh finish. The perfect companion for long summer evenings and readers who love discovering something new. ✨

🍷✨ Wine of the Month ✨🍷

This month we’re sipping the 2023 Narince Chardonnay from Kuzubağ 🇹🇷

A beautifully balanced white that brings together the fresh, floral character of Narince with the richness and texture of Chardonnay. Expect notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a refreshing finish that keeps you reaching for another sip 🍑🍋✨

Elegant, easy-drinking, and perfect for warm summer evenings with a good book in hand 📚🥂
