# Unique Wine Club Subscriptions SALDO Wine Collective Appeals to Curious Wine Drinkers By Grace Mahas | Published 2023-05-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saldo-wine-collective References: [theprisonerwinecompany](https://theprisonerwinecompany.com/pages/saldo-wine-collective)  SALDO, an exploratory wine brand from [The Prisoner Wine Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unshackled-sparkling-wine-duo) portfolio, has launched their first-ever wine club, the SALDO Wine Collective. Designed for curious wine drinkers, members will enjoy a departure from traditional wine clubs and an introduction to lesser-known wines and winemaking techniques. The inaugural release, shipping this month, showcases the winemaking team's take on unsung or overlooked varietals. Wines included are the flagship Zinfandel, Chenin Blanc, and two wine-club exclusive limited releases: a White Zinfandel sourced from 100% organically grown grapes from a single organic vineyard in Mendocino and a limited-run, micro-lot Carignan. The second release, shipping this fall, will showcase off-the-beaten-path winemaking methods with a new selection of wine-club exclusive limited releases like a Carbonic Zinfandel and a skin-fermented Falanghina. Wine club members will be able to purchase these two wines online starting in September. SALDO Wine Collective ships bi-annually in April and October, with pricing starting at $200 for six-bottle shipments and $410 for 12 bottles. Members receive exclusive access to limited-release wines, members-only pricing on SALDO Zinfandel, and first access to events at the tasting room and across the country.
