Signing up for NPR's new subscription wine club would be an excellent way to make yourself instantly feel more intelligent and cultured, in the event you needed that sort of confidence boost. The recently announced NPR Wine Club -- described by BuzzFeed as "the most highbrow way to get lit" -- gets you a case of 12 bottles for $79.99 as its launch offer. You will also get a bonus three bottles to go with the international wine collection, which include aptly named National Public Radio-inspired selections -- the All Grapes Considered malbec, a Weekend Edition cabernet sauvignon and NPR Uncorked merlot.
A portion of the proceeds from the subscription wine club will also go directly towards supporting the media company.
