With circulation and print ad revenue continuing to decline, The Washington Post is doing the only reasonable thing to bring in more money: Getting its readers drunk.

The newspaper is expected to launch a wine club this June, according to a press release.

“We taste thousands of wines from around the globe to provide a curated selection just for you,” an announcement on the club’s website says. “When we launch, we welcome you to join The Washington Post Wine Club on a worldwide adventure in wine.”

According to a press release, members will receive four bottles of red wine and two bottles of white every three months. They will also get old Washington Post recipe pairings, “expert tasting notes” and a 10 percent discount on club wines.

The Post is actually kind of late to the trend. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal already have wine clubs.

Disclosure: I used to work as a blogger at the Post. And I like wine.
