Good Pair Days - Box 3

I thought I would try a little experiment so with this Good Pair Days I ordered 1 bottle from each price band

The price bands are Up to £10, £10-15, £15-20 and finally £20-30.

I thought it would be good to see whether I could tell the difference – spoiler – I couldn’t!

Who are Good Pair Days?

Good Pair Days are a monthly wine club offering you a chance to try out new wines suited to your wine preferences. You can choose between white wine, red wine and Rosé.

They have a really handy Good Pair Days app where you can set your requirements, likes and dislikes easily and access all your subscription information.

When you rate the bottles you are sent these also help them working out what future bottles you will receive

How does Good Pair Days work?

Each month you will be sent a preview of your box – you can then make any changes before they ship it to you. You can choose to have a selection of each or as you will see you can choose to have a box filled with one choice (Yay for Rosé!)

Your box will be delivered monthly on a date of your choice but you can pause at any time, you aren’t tied into a minimum term.

Your box will consist of 3 to 5 bottles of different types of wine – You choose the number of bottles you want to receieve but you do get free shipping with 4 or more bottles.

Grow your wine knowledge

My favourite thing about Good Pairs Days is the wine knowledge they share with you within the blog posts and also on the Wine 101 E-Course.

Rewards

Recently Good Pair Days changed the rewards scheme so you can choose your rewards rather than just having whatever was the freebie on the next level.You are instead awarded points for things like rating wines, referring friends and taking part in challenges such as sharing posts on social media.

Refer a Friend Scheme

You can earn freebies by referring friends to Good Pair Days (You can find my link here thank you in advance!)

They just changed the scheme in August meaning you can refer up to 5 friends and each up to 5000 points per friend.

You get 500 points when they sign up and 500 points for their next 9 boxes. They also get the cheesboard coller (shown below) free on their first order.

You can then use your points to exchange for branded products which is much better than the previous way of ending up with stuff you wouldn’t use!

J.F. Arriezu Rosé 2021 – £14.50

Spain – 13.5% – £14.50

This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards medium bodied, dry, with medium acidity, some fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.

This bottle was my favourite from this box, it had a cork but I decided the other bottle was likely to be the most expensive.

My Rating 4.5/5

Château Aspras ‘Tomares Ballus’ Rosé 2021

France – 13.5% – £20

This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards medium bodied, dry, with medium acidity, some fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.

I wasn’t a fan of this one at all and definitely thought it was going to be the cheapest bottle!

My Rating 2/5

Château Bellini Rosé 2021

France – 13.5% – £26

This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards light bodied, dry, with medium acidity, no fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.

This bottle has a cork and a fancier bottle shape so I presumed it was the most expensive. But it wasn’t my favourite as you’ll see above the considerably cheaper bottle pipped it at the post for the top spot!

My Rating 4/5

Rascallion ‘With Love from the Cape’ Rosé 2021

South Africa – 13% – £10

This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards medium bodied, dry, with medium acidity, some fruitiness, medium tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.

This was a pleasant wine, I could drink it with or without lemonade and guessed it was a mid range bottle when it was actually the cheapest!
