ORANGE GLOU: THE WORLD'S FIRST ORANGE WINE SUBSCRIPTION AND STORE
Once considered wine-geek niche, the popularity of orange wines - white wines made with skin contact - is exploding and no one knows it better than orange wine expert Doreen Winkler who launched Orange Glou, the world’s first wine subscription focused solely on orange wines in 2019 and the only wine store in the world dedicated exclusively to orange wines 3 months ago. After the success of the Orange Glou wine subscription service, she is now bringing a wide-ranging selection of orange wines to aficionados and newbies alike via this one-of-a-kind brick-and-mortar store in New York City.
Whether already a devoted skin-contact fan or simply orange wine curious, both the Orange Glou wine subscription and wine store have something for everyone with a range of styles and prices. Ranging from pale gold to deep amber hues, light and crisp to rich and complex, all wines (both still and sparkling pet-nats) are natural, organic or biodynamic and made by independent small production winemakers.
Through the Orange Glou wine subscription, Doreen offers her curated monthly selections of highly allocated orange wines to subscribers throughout the country. The 3-bottle membership is $105/month, 6 bottles $195/month and there are one-time purchase boxes for those looking to try the wines without commitment as well. The Orange Glou wine store on Manhattan’s Lower East Side (264 Broome St.) has around 100 different selections of exclusively orange wines from around the world, with bottles running $19–$99, large format bottles from $49 and cans from $9.
Orange Glou’s monthly subscription service, online shop and wine store are the best go-to source in the US for hard to find and highly allocated wines. Producer highlights include sought-after Radikon, Gravner, Movia, Matassa, Partida Creus, Maria & Sepp Muster, along with favorites Lammidia, Christian Binner, Cantina Giardino, Yetti and the Kokonut, Terpin, Podere Pradarolo, Werlitsch and wines from emerging wine regions like Eastern Europe with Strekov (Slovakia), Keltis (Slovenia), Porta Bohemica and Dluhe Grefty (Czech Rep.), relatively new wineries such as Kamara Estate (Greece) and Craven (South Africa), and US producers like Donkey and Goat (CA), Los Pilares (CA), Bloomer Creek (NY), Southold Farm and Cellar (TX) and more. (Ships to 44 states excluding AR, KY, MI, MS, SD, UT.)
