Best Champagne Delivery Services

We’re all familiar with the Champagne brands that appear in music videos and grace the wine lists of trendy clubs—but there’s a whole other side of Champagne, and it’s one very much worth exploring. Most of the big-name Champagne houses buy their grapes from dozens of different vineyards throughout the region, which is necessary to meet the massive demand that their popularity implores, but which also results in an absence of geographical specificity. The realm of wines labeled R.M. Champagnes (short for récoltant-manipulant, or “grower-maker”), which in English are known as “grower Champagnes,” are the complete opposite of this. They’re sparkling wines made by the same person or family who grew the grapes. These small-batch Champagnes are substantially more reflective of the specific characteristics of where they were grown, and of the house style of the family that made them. They’re exactly the types of Champagnes you can expect to receive when you sign up for a Fatcork subscription.

As one of the few wine clubs that focus almost exclusively on grower Champagne, Fatcork offers consumers in the U.S. an incredible opportunity to dive into the world of estate-grown Champagnes in a straightforward and curated fashion. Users sign up for a quarterly subscription of either four, six, or 12 bottles and can expect to receive detailed wine and grower information along with tasting and pairing notes with every shipment. Those seeking a deeper dive into the category can purchase multi-bottle tasting kits specifically designed to shepherd beginning Champagne fanatics on their bubbly journey.

• Four bottles: $264 per quarter
• Six bottles: $396 per quarter
• 12 bottles: $749 per quarter

Having long since transcended its humble roots as a brick-and-mortar store in New Jersey, Gary’s is a thriving online wine marketplace boasting fascinating bottles from around the globe. Enlisting a team of discerning experts, Gary’s scours the wine world for fascinating bottles in all categories, and Champagne is well represented within its offerings. While you’ll definitely encounter some of the big-name brands like Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot, you’ll also be sure to encounter off-the-beaten-path bottles sniffed out by Gary’s team of wine sleuths.

For those who prefer the subscription model, Gary’s offers quarterly wine subscription plans.  There’s the “Sommelier Society” ($150 per quarter), which ships you six bottles of specially curated wines, or you might choose to upgrade to the “Connoisseur Club” ($350 quarterly) to receive a full dozen wines per quarter. While these clubs aren’t devoted exclusively to sparkling wine, you can feel confident you’re getting quality bottles sourced by discerning experts.

Few wines consistently command as lofty a price as Champagne, and getting into fine bubbly from the ground up can be downright expensive. Enter The Sip, a Black- and woman-owned company launched in 2020 with the goal of allowing users to experience multiple Champagnes without breaking the bank. In each shipment, subscribers receive three 187-milliliter bottles of Champagne or other sparkling wine. If you enjoy one of the minis you try, you’ll get a $10 credit toward purchasing a full bottle of it in the online store.

While the standard subscription offers bimonthly shipping, more rewards are available by purchasing a year-long subscription, which drops the price of each shipment by five dollars. Additionally, annual subscribers receive a $75 full-size bottle credit, which goes a long way toward making those exclusive bottles a little more attainable. Whichever subscription you choose, you can know that your money is going toward a good cause, as The Sip contributes to the East Oakland Community Project, a nonprofit providing clean water access and emergency housing for the homeless.

• Bimonthly subscription: $59.95 per box
• Annual subscription: $54.95 per box

A relatively unknown brand as little as a half-decade ago, alcohol delivery service Drizly has become an indispensable element of many consumers’ post-lockdown lifestyles. The company works directly with local retailers in over 100 markets to facilitate the delivery of alcoholic beverages sourced from local retailers—and this includes Champagne. The next time you’re craving bubbly, Drizly will charge you a flat $5 delivery fee, plus a service fee, to shuttle that festive bottle of sparkling wine straight to your doorstep in under an hour. 

At this point, Drizly doesn’t offer a subscription model or any other format by which a Champagne lover could hope to receive regularly scheduled deliveries of bubbly at specific intervals. That said, there are few services that can match Drizly for either speed or variety, due to the extensive network of local retailers that it draws upon.

Taste alone isn’t the only attribute that matters to today’s Champagne consumer; more and more, fans of tasty bubbly want to know if the wine they’re drinking was made in the most natural way possible, from grapes that were grown organically and sustainably. Thankfully, there’s now an online retailer dedicated to wines that are grown with minimally-interventionist methods, in the most natural way possible. Plonk Wine Club sources all types of organically and sustainably produced wines, including Champagne and other sparklers, and offers them to its discerning members.

Champagne lovers who wish to broaden their wine experience further may want to look into Plonk’s Mixed Wine Club, which ships allotments of sustainably grown wines at regular intervals. Subscribers can select between formats of either four, six, or 12 bottles per shipment. There’s also an option to pay month to month with an ongoing subscription versus choosing a prepaid package of three, six, or 12 shipments. While this club isn’t dedicated exclusively to sparkling wine, Plonk does incorporate it into the mix along with reds, whites, and rosés, so you’re sure to see bottles of bubbly show up in your shipments from time to time.

It’s hard to imagine anyone who wouldn’t love to receive a bottle of Champagne as a gift, but even the most dedicated bubbly lovers have probably never received anything quite like a bottle from Coup Champagne. Sourcing bottles from the esteemed Champagne house of Dumangin J. Fils, Coup then covers those bottles with a matte black coating and adds a black metal label laser-engraved with a message of your choice. You can choose from several options on the website (“a party without Champagne is just a meeting” is a personal favorite of ours, and we couldn’t agree more), or you can create your own message. A personalized bottle from Coup Champagne is the perfect choice for any occasion, from an important birthday to a marriage proposal—you can use the message on the bottle to pop the question (after which, if the answer is yes, you can pop the cork).

If your giftee is an especially fervent Champagne buff, you may consider adding one of the additional items on offer, such as Champagne flutes or a sabering kit. And if you need your gift quickly, Coup offers a very competitive three-day turnaround.
