Wine is a popular thing to have on the dinner table or to invite friends over to share, it's something that you see in many homes and is often picked up from the supermarket or corner shop on the way to dinner parties. But there are ways to try new bottles you might not see in Tesco and really expand your knowledge and palette.

There are a number of wine delivery services that allow you to try wines that might not have otherwise been on your radar - and some of them come with recipes for a true pairing. It's a great way to impress friends and with a subscription it's an easy way to make sure your wine rack is never empty.

Here at the Mirror we've taken a look of some popular options and explained the differences to make it easier to pick the one that's right for you.

Laithwaites Wine

Laithwaites wines is one of the UK's most popular wine delivery services. It regularly offers discounts on bulk orders that match those of supermarkets. They include 25% off wines when you order six bottles using the code 25OFFSIX.

Laithwaites also has a value range of wines under £10, while more premium options include a specialism in New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs and luxury 'Black Reds'. The wine delivery service also has a mystery box scheme where you can pay less than £100 for 12 bottles, working out at around £7.49 a bottle.

Wine Club by Majestic

Majestic offers free local delivery for their wines and offers many ways to buy it, including ordering specific bottles or more popularly with their Wine Club. Four times a year there is a themed case of 12 bottles of wine with prices starting at £99.

You get videos from the producers of the wine for a more in depth look, recipes created to pair perfectly with the wines included and an in depth guide explaining aromas, flavours and even the best temperature to serve it at. It also breaks down the acidity, body and sweetness on a scale of 1 to 10.

There's a No Quibble Guarantee, so if you don't like the bottle they will either refund you for the bottle or replace it with something you'll love. Prices are £99 for the Discovery Case, £149 for the Tour Case and £199 for the Grand Tour Case.

Discovery Cases have everyday wines that are described as 'excellent value', it's recommended for those new to the world of wine. Tour is aimed at those with a little more experience in the world of wine while Grand Tour is described as 'first class'. All cases contain 12 bottles and there is the option to opt for just white or just red wines with the two cheaper cases.

Good Pair Days

Good Pair Days

This is a wine subscription box and for new members they can pick out a welcome gift of their choice, you may recognise this brand from Instagram. New members get to pick from a picnic set, a cheeseboard cooler and tumbler set, a decanter and wine glasses set, or a stackable wine rack set.

This one starts with a quiz, this is to get an idea of what your palette is, which is then used to curate your perfect wines. The questions are seemingly random, such as how much you butter your toast or if you'd rather sponge cake, cheese or macarons for dessert, but they work together to pick out your ideal wines.

You're then presented with 3 bottles of wine at various prices, although they start at £9, and what their match is to your tastes. This means you control the price as you can swap to a cheaper or more expensive bottle and shipping is free on orders of four bottles or more. Each wine in the box comes with tasting notes, a story behind the wine, food pairings and recipes made specifically for that bottle.

Virgin Wines

Virgin Wines (Virgin Wines)

Virgin Wines have a few ways of getting wine to you, but the Discovery Wine Club is one of their most popular options. Similarly to Majecstic you get a case of 12 bottles of wine every quarter and they come with access to wine guides, tips from buyers and tasting notes for each bottle.

The wines are discounted down to £9.99 a bottle and every case has a discount of at least 15%, this does mean you could be looking at a £120 bill each quarter though. For first time customers there is a half price welcome case where you can get 12 bottles of white, red or both for £59.88.
