 Direct Cellars
I was introduced to DC Wine in February 2017 by my girlfriend who lives in CA. At first I said 'no' as I drink very very little alcohol.

As I listened to her share about the company and it's premium wines that come from over 2,000 Vinyards worldwide, I decided that this would be a fun easy way to earn some extra money. 

I have received wines since February from South Africa, Australia, France, Italy, Portugal, United States, Spain. I would never have had this opportunity otherwise. The wines come right to my front door delivered through UPS. The awesome part about this also is if there is a wine that I do not like, all I have to do is call Direct Cellars and they send me a new different wine at no extra cost to me guaranteed. Never pay retail again.

With 3 customers you get your wine free no matter if you are a member or an affiliate .

Just come and buy a beautiful heart-shaped wine stopper for $5.00, and you can sample 3 of our premium wines for free (white, red or a mixture of both). They do not contain any sulfates and are extremely higher premium quality wines.
