Wines work best when properly paired: reds go with beef, whites go with fish, and champagnes go with cups made out of upturned party hats. Impersonate a sommelier with this Groupon: for $29, you get $80 worth of wine from Barclay's Wine, an online shop that will deliver directly to your home or office. This deal is good for new, current, and previous Barclay's customers.
Offering vintages from a host of regions and styles, Barclay's Wine breaks down the borders that separate winemakers from customers through home delivery of the world's top varietals. A staff of well-traveled oenophiles travels the globe, distilling knowledge about superior vintages and the individuals that make them into an online database searchable by style, varietal, region, winery, or price range. Line wine-cellar walls for less than $15 a bottle, stocking up on easy-drinking 2011 New World chardonnay ($13.95) or 2010 Kiyapura ($13.95), forged from robust Chilean grapes that cliff-dive off the Andes in the off-season.
Experts can offer subtle and standout bottles with a slightly higher price tag, or combine vast collections into mixed cases that bring together representatives from a stellar vineyard or collections of staff favorites. Customers can also apply the value of this Groupon to a Wine Experience, which comes with 12 bottles, specific tasting notes, and a Magic Decanter (an additional $49.95 plus $19.95 for shipping). Thorough online descriptions add a backstory to each wine offered, revealing flavor notes, growing condition of its grapes, and anecdotes from the elderly raisins that helped to raise them.
