Also known as: I Let Naked Wines Pick My Booze So I Didn’t Have To Think, and It Was the Best Decision I’ve Made Since Buying an Electric Corkscrew
Look, I’m not saying wine has become an integral part of my identity, but I have started referring to the hours between 6pm and bedtime as ‘vino o’clock’ and I may or may not have a tea towel that says ‘This might be wine’ on my kitchen wall. So when I heard about Naked Wines, a magical place where the wine quite literally comes to you like a deliciously boozy Deliveroo, I was very much on board.
Up to 33% off world-class wines when you join Naked Wines
Now, let me be honest with you – I love wine, but I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. I once bought a bottle because the label had a picture of a dog in a beret. So the idea of taking a quick quiz and having Naked Wines use their clever wine matchmaking skills to pick out bottles I’ll actually like? Yes please. Sign me up. Let’s make it rain Rioja.
Real wine, real winemakers, real lazy shopping
What makes Naked Wines different (aside from the fact they do all the hard thinking for me and let me feel smugly sophisticated while wearing pyjamas and drinking Pinot) is that the wine comes from actual independent winemakers – real people with actual names and stories, not just a giant wine factory run by Jeff Bezos’ cousin or something.
It’s a bit like supporting a small business, but instead of a handmade macramé plant hanger, you get world-class wine. Frankly, that’s the kind of small business I want to support. Does Carol from Cornwall make Sauvignon Blanc? No. But Juan from Argentina does. And thanks to Naked Wines, I now know all about Juan and his family vineyard and how he’s basically crushed these grapes with love and also his actual feet (probably).

Delivery: because leaving the house is overrated
The other dreamy bit? It’s delivered straight to your door. No more panicked supermarket dashes where I stand in front of the wine aisle pretending I understand what ‘notes of leather and bramble’ means. (Is bramble a berry or a hedgehog habitat? Unclear.) With Naked Wines, I get to feel like a classy wine connoisseur without having to put on a bra or real trousers. And that, my friends, is what we call a win-win.
Up to 33% off = more wine money
When you join Naked Wines, you get up to 33% off proper good wine. Not ‘I found this in a garage sale’ wine. World-class wine. And more money saved = more wine bought = cycle of happiness continues. Honestly, if this isn’t what adulthood is meant to be about, I don’t know what is.
Even better, when you first sign up and spend £134.99, you get a whopping £75 off. When you think about it, that sort of means you’ve made £75, which you can then spend on books.
Verdict: would Naked again
Naked Wines is like the friend who actually knows what wine goes with dinner and doesn’t judge you for drinking it while watching three episodes of Below Deck back-to-back. It’s tasty, it’s easy, and it makes you feel like a fancy grown-up even when you’re drinking it from a novelty mug because all the wine glasses are in the dishwasher.
So if you’re tired of choosing wine based on which label has a cartoon animal or how close it is to the reduced sticker, let Naked Wines take the reins.
They pick. You sip. Everybody wins.
Except maybe the dog in the beret.
