Halves Wine Club · Drop 04
Good wine. The amount you meant to open.
Twelve 375 ml bottles from producers who still take the half seriously. Choose your mix when the drop opens; skip it when it does not.
A bottle is too much. A glass is too little.
The half sits in the useful middle: enough to make dinner feel like dinner, small enough to finish while the wine is still itself.
In Europe, the half-bottle is ordinary—the same producer and vintage, simply scaled to one evening. In the United States, the format mostly disappeared because the supply chain finds it inconvenient.
Halves does the inconvenient part. We buy against a producer pallet, import directly, and let members build a case while the drop is open. Better range for you; a viable run for the cellar.
Four wines. You decide the dozen.
A seasonal offer chosen as a table, not a scorecard. Begin with three of each, then change the mix until the case is yours.

The pallet closes
We consolidate the order and the producer allocation begins its trip to the US.
Your case arrives
Tracked, age-verified delivery. No recurring charge and no automatic case.
Half the bottle. Never more than half the price.
We benchmark every half against the same wine in 750 ml. If a 375 ml bottle costs more than half, it does not make the case.
See the cellar before the case opens.
