Sober October Bundles 2026: Three Ways to Stock the Month
Agatha Atom
There are three sensible Sober October bundles, and they cost $62, $108 and $231. The first covers the opening weekend for two people, the second covers two weeks of weeknights for one, and the third covers the whole month.
All three are built from bottles that were in our warehouse every day of the last 30. All three are priced at the live Better Rhodes price less the 10% that comes off any two or more items in the Better Rhodes Market, and the largest ships free.
If you would rather not choose at all, the pre-made cases are at the bottom.
Why a bundle and not a bottle?
Two reasons, one about the month and one about the money. The month: the people who finish Sober October are the ones with variety in the fridge. A bottle of non-alcoholic wine on its own does not get anyone through a Friday.
The money: our Market takes 10% off any two or more items at checkout, all year, and orders over $125 ship free in the US. A bundle is the only way to get both.
Bundle one: The First Weekend, $62
For two people, Friday to Sunday, the first weekend of October. Four items, one box. It is the bundle to buy if you are not sure you will last the month and want to find out cheaply.

Total $68.96, or $62.06 built as one bundle. About $10 a night for two people. Under $125, so shipping is extra; add the Weeknight Box below and it is not.
Bundle two: The Weeknight Box, $108
For one person, two weeks, Monday to Thursday. Eight items. This is the bundle for someone who has done a dry month before and knows that the weekends are easy and the Tuesdays are not.

Turns the Pinot Grigio into a spritz |
Total $119.92, or $107.93 as one bundle. Two bottles of wine last four nights each with the cork in, so eight items is fourteen weeknights with something left over. Add a couple more bottles and it clears $125 and ships free.
Bundle three: The Whole Month, $231
One or two people, 31 nights. Fourteen items. This is the full-month shopping list, and it is the bundle we would build for ourselves.

Is there a Sober October starter kit?
Not as a single product, and on purpose. A fixed starter kit is a box of someone else's taste. The Market builds one around yours in four doors: "Build my box" (answer three questions), "Find a recipe" (start from a drink and it adds the ingredients), "Plan for guests" (heads and hours, it does the math) and "Pick it yourself".
The First Weekend bundle above is the closest thing to a starter kit, and it costs $62.
How to build a bundle in the Market
-
Open the Better Rhodes Market and choose "Pick it yourself".
-
Add the items from the table you want. The count and the running total show as you go.
-
Two or more items and the 10% applies itself at checkout; no code.
-
Over $125 and US shipping is free.
During October the category sale prices show on the product pages in their week (cocktails 1 to 7, beer 8 to 14, whites and sparkling 15 to 21, reds and cases 22 to 31), and the Market's 10% stacks on top of them. The 31-Day Drink Plan is the week-by-week version of the Whole Month bundle.

Every case is 15% off from 22 to 31 October (the Luminara collection 10%), so if a case is the plan, buy the First Weekend bundle now and the case in its week.
And the two clubs, which are bundles that keep arriving: Trudy's Monthly Wine Club, two bottles a month for $49.99 with shipping included, and the Insider Monthly Beer Box, three new beers a month for $24.99 with shipping included. We compared the wine club with buying bottles, honestly, in Non-Alcoholic Wine Club vs Buying Bottles.
