Olly and Helen 01

The boxes have been curated by Saturday Kitchen’s wine experts Helen McGinn and Olly Smith

Majestic has joined forces with Saturday Kitchen to launch a new DTC wine subscription service.

The Saturday Kitchen Wine Club would deliver “handpicked global vintages and exclusive Saturday Kitchen recipe pairings from top TV chefs directly to subscribers’ doors”, the specialist wine retailer said.

Subscribers will receive a curated box of 12 wines every three months, containing two bottles each of three different white and red wines. The wines have been selected by Saturday Kitchen wine experts Helen McGinn and Olly Smith, working in tandem with Majestic’s buying team.

Three price tiers will be available, ranging from £120 to £200 per quarter.

The Kitchen Classics tier (£120) would contain “reliable, delicious go-to wines”, while The Kitchen Signature subscription (£160) would feature “premium, characterful wines”.

The Kitchen Showstoppers tier (£200) meanwhile would contain “spectacular, high-end wines that truly sing”.

All wines would be exclusive to the Club and unavailable to purchase in Majestic’s stores or online, the retailer said.

Each wine would come with “detailed tasting notes and flavour guides” written by McGinn and Smith, it added.

Meanwhile, there would also be “delicious, easy-to-follow recipes,” inside each box, featuring dishes from Saturday Kitchen regulars including Theo Randall, Anna Haugh, Adam Byatt, Poppy O’Toole, Georgina Hayden and Tony Singh.

“Our mission at Majestic is to help our customers discover new wines they will love, and the Saturday Kitchen Wine Club will help even more people do exactly that,” said Elizabeth Newman, MD of Majestic Retail. “Our award-winning buying team has worked with Helen and Olly to source exceptional, exclusive wines that you won’t find anywhere else – not even at Majestic.

“It’s a brilliant new way to explore the wonderful world of wine from the comfort of your own home.”

Amanda Ross, executive producer of Saturday Kitchen, added: “One of my biggest pleasures is tasting Olly and Helen’s wonderful wine matches. With so many bottles out there to choose from and budgets getting tighter, it’s great to have recommendations you can rely on. The Saturday Kitchen Wine Club does the tasting for you, guaranteeing you brilliant bottles.

“It’s an easy way to explore new wine styles, build your confidence, and even get more adventurous in the kitchen with delicious recipes from some of our favourite chefs.”
