I'm in the gold tier. For example Rockford BP @ $250, Moet NV @ $60, WB Black label @ $90 when you can get Platinum @ $70 on cellardoor.co; the remainder are the revealed Black market stables.
This is the problem of having several accounts for my “ Extended family “ my main account is silver tier and there isn’t anything that is out of the ordinary. Would love to hear from anyone on gold and Black tiers
You're not missing anything. As Black I can see items such as 'Sorby Adams Reverend Canon Shiraz' for $20, when I know I've paid closer to $17 previously!This is the problem of having several accounts for my “ Extended family “ my main account is silver tier and there isn’t anything that is out of the ordinary.

Basically the same prices just re-branded as something new
As a lowly silver member it doesn’t look like there is a lot of incentive to become a Gold or Black member.
Agreed, some of the other online retailers have upped their game in response.
Ha, you know, even as I was posting I thought "why am I using Ringland as the example?" - because, like you, I've really enjoyed those I've had (fortunately I didn't pay for most of them). Grange is probably a better Australian example of an over priced wine for how it's made & what it delivers (although it's not in the stratospheric price to value ratio of many French wines) but yes, that's just my personal taste re Grange, or any wine. As for the Schild 3 Springs : I'm curious as to why you brought it to attention, but then in responding to me seemed to suggest that the offer wasn't particularly good value. I still think it was a very good deal! I'd never been on their website until you posted (now I've collected yet another dealer!).
But it's a very nice drop! It's a lot of wine at $20, let alone $17
That's interesting. Firstly I hadn't noticed that VM had introduced colour coding, until it came up here on the thread. Re Skye - I only signed up to them a day or 2 ago after seeing Red B's post about their 3 Springs deal. To me their prices, and many of their wines, seem to overlap VM. I didn't actually think to look at their returns, (or lack thereof) policy. I think VM's approach is pretty generous on that score.

No, but I have it here, might try one tonight.Craneford Barossa Shiraz 2021
The wines from the stupendous 2021 vintage, from a number of regions, of which the Barossa must surely be to the fore, continue to thrill. If your cellar
Anyone tried this current offering from VIM?
Lol, so many of the usual fake rrp wines now grouped and tiered as if it's some generous and exclusive loyalty scheme that plebs can't access. My view of VM's marketing just dimmed some more, which is quite a hard thing to do. I doubt it will stop me carefully and opportunistically buying when something right pops up, but sheesh really?
