For those who like to support quality wine writing (which of course cannot be done for free) here’s an updated list of all the subscription wine publications currently available. This is tied in to an article earlier this year about new subscription websites and the trials and tribulations of starting one.
There’s been a large increase over the last four years, with many recent newcomers (30% more now than in 2018). With this, there’s also a revision of the prices as most have raised, such as Decanter which has gone up a rather surprising 21% in the last four years.
The list is in order by price with the most expensive first. Please leave a comment if anything has been left out.

Ah yes, thanks. Substacks are a admittedly a bit of a blind spot for me.
