Founded in 1992, Gold Medal Wine Club delivers curated wines from smaller, family-owned wineries right to your door. It's for people who want to feel like they have a sophisticated palate, maybe like one of the characters from 'The White Lotus', without actually leaving the house. But sometimes, the bottles pile up faster than you can drink them. This guide helps you cancel your subscription, which costs from $47.95 to $119 per shipment, and avoid any surprise charges. By canceling, you could save up to $1400 a year. We'll walk you through the steps for desktop and other contact methods.
How to Cancel Gold Medal Wine Club Subscription on Desktop
Canceling online is your best bet if you want to avoid a phone call. The process is straightforward, but the website feels a bit dated, so finding the right button can take a minute. I had to look twice before I spotted the cancel link.
1 Log In to Your Account
Go to the Gold Medal Wine Club website and find the 'My Account' or 'Login' link, usually at the top right of the page. Enter your email and password.
2 Find Your Membership Section
Once you're logged in, you should be on your account dashboard. Look for a tab or link that says 'My Membership' or 'Subscription Details'. Their site can be a little old-school, so you might have to poke around a bit.
3 Locate the Cancel Link
This is the tricky part. You're looking for a link that says 'Cancel Membership' or something similar. It might be in small print near your shipping or billing information. Don't be surprised if you have to scroll a bit to find it.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
The site will likely ask you why you're leaving. You can usually select a reason or skip it. Follow the final steps to confirm the cancellation. Make sure you get to a page that says 'Your membership has been cancelled'.

Calling is often the most direct way to cancel. Just tell the representative you want to cancel your membership. They will likely ask for your account information to verify your identity and might try to offer you a discount to stay. Be firm and ask for a confirmation email as proof of cancellation.

If you prefer to have a written record, you can send an email. Be sure to include your full name, shipping address, and member number if you have it. State clearly that you wish to cancel your membership. Response times can vary, so do this at least a week before your next billing date to be safe. It's not instant.
Before you cancel, know that Gold Medal Wine Club will stop all future shipments and charges immediately. They do offer the option to pause or skip shipments if you just need a break, which might be a better option. They state you can cancel anytime, but you won't get a refund for shipments that have already been processed or sent. Your account information will likely remain on file, but your payment method will not be charged again.
