  • Ordered Food & Wine and Magnolia Journal for $30; received two Magnolia Journals.
  • No Food & Wine magazine arrived.

I ordered Food & Wine magazine for my son for his birthday and Magnolia Journal for my DIL for ValentineDay, F&W offered a deal on both for $$30.00 so I ordered them They received 2 Magnolia Journals - no Food & Wine magazine. To report this was impossible. This order was for Todd & Anna Warden by Judy Warden

Received final notice and I am paid through 2028

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I never got to talk to anyone about this situation, which is extremely frustrating to keep getting final notices! The magazine is great, but customer service sucks.

Preferred solution: No more final notices or threats to stop mailings unless a payment is made. I am paid through 2028!!

Duplicate bill

Updated by user Aug 24, 2025

I contacted customer service but believe I talked only to an automated “person.” I just want to be sure my gift subscription will continue next year. I had renewed it, paid, the check cleared, and yet I continue to get notices that I have not renewed.

Original review Aug 05, 2025

I renewed a gift subscription and paid for it but then got billed again so Im afraid Food & wine has not renewed the subscription.

Preferred solution: A clarification that my gift subscription has been renewed. Telephone number is 850-508-****.

User's recommendation: Clarify concerns with this magazine as soon as they occur. Waiting is not a good idea.

Not Happy

AI Highlights
  • I love F&W, but I oppose featuring Meghan Markle.
  • She is not a chef and likely doesn't cook.
  • The reviewer describes her as a master manipulator.

Love F&W, but you featuring the pontifical, lying idiot Meghan Markle is so beneath you. She is not a chef and probably doesn't even cook or bake!

Please never do that again! She is a master manipulator, not a chef!

Really.

Sandra Sbarro

User's recommendation: Great magazine when featuring REAL chefs!
