How to Pick a Card for Wine 

The best card for wine depends on where you tend to buy it. If you order wine at bars and restaurants, a card with dining and entertainment rewards is probably your best bet. If you pick up wine at supermarkets or wholesale clubs, look for a card that rewards those purchases.

Rewards tend to come in three types: points, miles, or cash back. Make sure to pick a card that offers rewards you’ll actually use.

Many credit card companies offer access to exclusive events and ticket packages. Check out any events offered by credit cards you’re considering; there might just be an upcoming wine festival or vineyard tour that’s right up your alley.

What Credit Is Required to Get a Card for Wine?

The best travel and cash back credit cards usually require good to excellent credit. But even if your credit isn’t stellar, there might be an option for you. If you aren’t sure where your credit stands, you should check before you apply. You can check your credit score free at Credit.com.
