This Haggerston clubhouse, tucked under a brace of railway arches, provides a physical space in which oenophiles can geek out over grapes. There are no red-trousered wine buffs around here; just Hackney types in fisherman's hats and Carhartt jackets talking pet nats and carbonic reds. Opened in autumn 2021, the clean-cut space was brought to life by Danish interior designers Studio X and includes a members' lounge, cellar, shop and restaurant run by Sebastian Myers (the last accessible to non-members, too).

Membership is open to all, with benefits including 72 bottles-worth of storage in the Planque cellar (that's three cases of wine), lounge and private-dining access, priority restaurant reservations, a two-bottle monthly corkage allowance (anything on top of that is £10 a bottle), a wine concierge service, exclusive invitations to club tastings and dinners and discounts at the Plaque wine store. If you're hoping to try before you sign up, we'd recommend heading to the restaurant for a dinner of modern French food (think creamy guinea fowl parfait and braised piattone beans over pork jowl ragout), paired with a wine list of rare and interesting bottles, naturally.

What it costs: £80 monthly, or £880 annually, with a £150 joining fee.

Wine and food writer Hannah Crosbie launched her inclusive event series to demystify the wine world and show that having a palate for a good bottle doesn't require a trust fund. The title? It's ironic; this club is for everyone - no membership required. Intimate and personal, Crosbie's events are billed like Corsica Studios line-ups, with bold one-off poster designs announcing beaujolais nouveau tastings and evenings with female wine producers at various locations. The club will soon be moving to a permanent home at bar and restaurant Rondo La Cave. Ticket numbers are capped, so you'll need to be quick if you want one - they always sell out.

What it costs: £35 per event.

Oranj started life as an online shop during lockdown, with a membership programme, Club Oranj, launched soon after. You can expect monthly bottle deliveries (complete with complementary curated mix tapes, tasting notes and a frame-worthy poster by an artist or design studio), plus early-bird access to tastings and music events when you sign up. Bottles are exclusively made by small-scale producers, with a focus on natural, low-intervention, biodynamic and organic bins. Founder Jasper Delamothe calls the selection "interesting wines" - his relationships with small, independent vineyards means the club has access to rare bottles you'll struggle to find anywhere else. Membership is on a first-come-first-served basis, so you'll need to regularly check the website to see if places are available, or hope an existing member invites you along. The Oranj team has recently opened a 185sq m warehouse bar and kitchen on Shoreditch's Bacon Street, too.

What it costs: The two-tier scheme offers £50 and £100 monthly membership rates, which includes two or five bottles of natural wine curated by Oranj and a guest sommelier, respectively, plus an artist-commissioned poster.

"CAVE OPEN", reads the neon-orange sign at the door of Cave Cuvée: no subscription is necessary here - good news for those wanting to get to grips with improving their grape knowledge. The founders of Highbury restaurant Top Cuvée hit on a golden formula after launching an online wine shop during the pandemic; cheery support from London's bottle buffs led to the opening of a Bethnal Green Road store, which also twilights as the group's education arm. Head down on a Wednesday to join one of the regular, ticketed natural wine tastings, during which you'll learn the difference between carbos and sangos (while scoffing oysters, charcuterie and cheese), or find your peculiarity of choice at one of Cave Cuvée's one-off celebratory events, from NYE parties to vodka-fuelled brunches.

What it costs: Held weekly, A Natural Wine Masterclass costs from £45.
