Our story
15 years of books, bottles, and the women who make both better.
Books & Bottles started as a friendship and grew into a community. Here's how it happened.
Founder, Books & Bottles
Rina
Hi, I'm Rina! For almost 15 years, my book club has been where great books, good wine, and real life come together. We've shared plot twists on the page and in our own lives, with plenty of laughter, a few tears, and "just one more glass" along the way.
"One thing those years have taught me: women need each other through every chapter of life."
Books and Bottles grew out of that friendship, and a wish to make the group chat a little less chaotic. The app pairs personalities, books, and wines, while our events bring women together to connect over a shared read. Because reading the same story has a funny way of helping us share our own.
I'm so glad you're here. Let's turn the page and pour something good!
Meet the Guilty Wives Club
Guilty of having a good time.
15 years of memories, one glass at a time.
Our mission
Every chapter is better shared.
We believe the best book clubs aren't really about the books — they're about the women in the room. Books & Bottles exists to bring those women together, one great read and one great pour at a time.
Real connection
We're not here for surface-level small talk. We're here for the conversations that start at chapter twelve and end at midnight.
Joyful indulgence
Life is short. Read the good books. Drink the good wine. Show up for the people who make both taste better.
Every woman welcome
Whether you finish every book or just the bottle, whether you're a literary scholar or a beach-read devotee — you belong here.
