FAQs

  • What wines are in the collection?

    Ambassadors share a diverse selection of award-winning wines from the Boisset Collection family of wineries in California and France. In California, these include Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley, DeLoach Vineyards in Russian River Valley, and Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma, while our French offerings are made in legendary regions like Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône Valley and Provence. We also produce transnational lines of wines such as JCB, Jean-Charles Boisset's personal collection of wines and LVE, our collaboration with the renowned artist John Legend. In addition to representing limited production wines found exclusively in our tasting rooms, some wines are made exclusively for Wine Society and others represent popular wines that are also offered by select restaurant and retail partners.Click here to browse our current selections. 

  • What if I don’t have any wine knowledge or business background?

    You do not need to be a wine expert or a trained salesperson to promote our wines. It is far more important for you to simply enjoy our wines and have a passion for sharing them with others! Whether you are a wine connoisseur or simply aspire to living the wine lifestyle, you can flourish with this exciting opportunity. At Boisset Collection, we are dedicated to making excellent wines and are committed to your success in representing them. We provide all of the training and tools you will need to recommend our wines, to lead in-home wine tastings and to earn generous commissions in doing so. You will be empowered by our top wine experts, including Jean-Charles himself, our talented winemakers, and tasting room experts as well as having access to educational materials created for Boisset Collection by the respected sommelier and wine author Marnie Old. These are based on the Passion for Wine book she and Jean-Charles Boisset wrote together, which explains our proprietary Spectrum of Style wine navigation system.

  • What type of training is provided?

    TheWine Society website provides extensive educational content. Complete winemaker notes and pairing suggestions are built into each product page so that you can feel knowledgeable even if you haven't tasted that wine. Most also feature short videos from Jean-Charles Boisset, or winemakers or the respected sommelier and wine author Marnie Old that provide concise talking points. Customers can also explore our Spectrum of Style page to learn about Boisset Collection's unique color coded wine navigation system.

    In addition to this public facing  education content, Wine Society Advisors also have 24/7 access to online tools and resources made available to Advisors only through their Wine Society dashboard, the Boisset Collection Resource Center and the BAM app (for Brand Asset Management) by MultiBrain, including video tutorials, slideshows, and support documents. 

  • Is there a document I can review that covers the compensation structure?

    Click here ADD THIS LINK ONCE IT EXISTS to download a printable flyer that summarizes the basics of our compensation plan.

  • Is there a minimum sales volume I would need to sell in order to earn commission?

    No. Wine Society Ambassadors earn commissions on all customer sales. In any month or pay period where a Wine Society Advisor's customers place no orders, no payment will be made, but payments will resume when new orders are placed.

     

  • Can I cancel my Wine Society Advisor enrollment?

    Wine Society Advisors may terminate their account at any time by contacting customercare@boisset.com but there is little incentive to do so, since there are no costs or fees associated with being a Wine Society Advisor. In the event that a Wine Society Advisor requests cancellation of their account, all of the customers associated with that account would be serviced by Boisset Collection moving forward.

  • What is a Boisset Tasting Experience?

    The Boisset Tasting Experience is a fun and affordable turn-key guided tasting of three or more wines and takes place as a private in-person gathering or as a virtual event online. For in-person wine tastings, the host can either select from our menu of Tasting Experiences or request a customized flight. The host purchases the wine and shares with their guests. Wine Society Advisors may self-host tastings but hosts may not charge guests to attend or make the event open to the public. For virtual tastings, each participating household or office would order their own wines and gather online via videoconference to help groups from across the country feel connected through the guided tasting experience. Use our spectacular support materials and add your own personality, hospitality and style to create a fun and memorable wine experience! 

  • What is the Boisset Wine Society?

    Wine Society by Boisset Collection is a quarterly wine club where members receive automatic shipments of 3, 6 or 12 bottles of wine every three months and the core revenue stream for Wine Society Advisors. In order to match their selections to their tastes in wine, members can choose from three style options: Full Spectrum (mixed styles), Red Spectrum (red wines only) or White Spectrum (shite, rosé and sparkling wines only). All Wine Society shipments are 100% customizable from our extensive wine list and member benefits include 20% savings on their purchases, discounted shipping, complimentary tastings with purchase at select wineries, invitations to private events and our best pricing on all offers and promotions. Click here for complete details. 

  • How are the wines sent to my customers? Can wine be shipped to all U.S. states?

    Due to the weight of wine, its sensitivity to temperature and the variations in alcohol shipping regulations from state to state, we strongly recommend that Wine Society Advisors familiarize themselves with the shipping options and constraints that apply in the states where their customers reside. 

    Boisset Collection ships our wine from a fulfillment center in American Canyon, CA via UPS or FedEx. Cool packs are made available in the check out process, and for many delivery routes special temperature control trucks are also available during hot and cold weather. Typically orders entered by 10:00 am Pacific on Monday through Friday will ship on the same business day, while those placed after that will ship on the next business day.  See our Shipping & Returns page for complete details. 

    Currently, we are able to ship wine to 40 different states. For more information, please see our States of Operation for a complete list of state-specific requirements, which may include limitations on the type of wines available and volume limitations per consumer.   

  • Can I sell wine to restaurants or retailers? What about other businesses.

    No. Boisset Collection is only able to legally sell and ship wine to individuals in those states where we are licensed for direct-to-consumer sales.

    Wine Society Advisors may only act in a marketing capacity in promoting our wines and facilitating sales to end consumers and may not solicit restaurants, bars, retail stores, or other commercial outlets. Businesses may purchase wine as long as they are NOT themselves licensed to purchase, sell o store or transport alcohol in their state. Wine Society Advisors do not themselves hold inventory, take cash, process transactions or ship wine to customers - all of these functions are handled by Boisset Collection, for which we are authorized under our direct shipping licenses in our states of operation.

  • How many hours do I need to work?

    It is up to you to determine how much time you wish to devote to your Wine Society Advisor business. Some Wine Society Advisors spend only a few hours a week promoting Wine Society while others make this a full time career. It’s truly up to you and it may change depending on your life circumstances. 

  • How much do I need to invest?

    Nothing. There is no cost associated with being a Wine Society Ambassador. While you may decide to invest in business cards or other business supplies, like stemware or branded support materials, or enroll in optional marketing programs to enhance your business, such as BAM by MultiBrain, such investments are not required. Wine Society Advisors do not purchase inventory and Boisset ships all orders directly from our wineries to the customer. 

     

  • What can I expect to earn?

    What you earn as a Wine Society Advisor will depend entirely on how much your customers spend. Advisors are paid commissions twice a month and earn between 10%-30% on all orders placed through Wine Society website by their customers. In addition to earning commissions on their customers' orders, Wine Society Advisors can also supplement their income with cash bonuses paid for enrolling new Wine Society Members or for referring new Wine Society Advisors.

  • Can I do this?

    Yes – on your own time, in your own way.  Though wine can seem intimidating, we make it approachable so you earn as you learn.  You set the rules and you determine what success means to you. There are so many ways to run your business, selling online, bringing wine to social gatherings, guided tastings or more exclusive personal curation, building a team – the sky is the limit. 

  • Are there detailed policies or a code of conduct defining what Wine Society Advisors may and may not do??
