Can a business become a member of The Society?

A Corporate Membership allows a business recognised by law, rather than an individual, to own a share in The Wine Society.

This means the membership belongs to the company itself, while a nominated employee manages the account on the company's behalf. If that employee leaves or responsibility passes to someone else, we can simply update the contact details while the membership remains with the business.

This is particularly useful for companies that buy wine through The Wine Society, for example for client gifts, staff recognition or corporate events.

Apart from the ownership of the share, a Corporate Membership operates in the same way as any other membership. The business buys wine on the same terms as other members and receives the same member benefits. There are no separate trading terms or special privileges.

As with any Wine Society share, the membership is not closed simply on request. The share remains the property of the business and would typically only be closed if the company itself is dissolved.

To set up a corporate membership, please contact Member Services via our online enquiry form, or by telephone on 01438 741177.
