Wine club polos and quarter-zips solve two distinct roles: distinguishing the host of any given tasting from the general member group, and giving founders or organizers a piece that reads as leadership without feeling formal. Below are the embroidered polos and quarter-zips that fit wine club aesthetics, the embroidery layout, and pricing math for a small founders-and-hosts apparel program.
The Premium Cotton Pique Polo: Default Host Piece
The Men's Premium Cotton Pique Polo and Women's Premium Cotton Pique Polo (Gildan, $41.95 Free, $34.88 VIP) are the default host pieces. Embroidered club logo on the left chest, HOST or specific role on the right sleeve. Comfortable enough to wear all evening through a long tasting.
The Sport-Tek Performance Polo: Warm-Weather Hosting
For warm-weather outdoor tastings or winery patios, the Men's Performance Polo (Sport-Tek, $41.93 Free, $34.88 VIP) and Ladies' Moisture Wicking Polo handle the heat better than cotton. Same embroidery layout.

For wine club trips to wineries or cool-evening tastings:
- Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover ($35.95 Free, $29.88 VIP).
- Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover ($35.95 Free, $29.88 VIP).
The zip lets members adjust as temperatures shift through the evening. Common pick for hosts traveling to other members' homes.
Embroidery Layout That Reads Premium
The embroidery layout that works:
- Left chest: Club logo, 3 inches wide.
- Right sleeve: Role title — HOST, FOUNDER, EVENT CHAIR, MEMBERSHIP.
- Optional left sleeve: Year of founding or current year.
Each piece can be customized with the specific member role at order time.
Budget Math For A 6-Person Founders and Hosts Set
For 4 founding members and 2 rotating hosts each ordering one polo and one quarter-zip:
| Item | VIP Base | Retail | Per Item |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidered Polo | $34.88 | $48 | +$13.12 |
| Embroidered Quarter-Zip | $29.88 | $45 | +$15.12 |
| Total per member | $64.76 | $93.00 | +$28.24 |
6 members x $28.24 = $169.44 to the club from the founders apparel run.
