Need to cancel your Food & Wine subscription? You’re not alone.
Food & Wine is a popular magazine and digital brand focused on recipes, restaurants, wine, and entertaining. Subscriptions come in print, digital app, or both. Many people sign up for a trial or annual plan and later decide they no longer want the automatic renewals.
Canceling depends on how you subscribed. Digital app versions are usually handled through Apple or Google. Print magazines go through the publisher or the company that took your order.
This guide covers the main methods so you can stop future charges and keep any remaining issues you’ve already paid for.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal date when possible. You’ll keep access or delivery until the end of the paid period in most cases.
How to Cancel Food and Wine Subscription
First, Identify Your Subscription Type
Check your bank statement, email receipts, or the magazine label.
- Digital / App subscription — Charged through Apple App Store or Google Play. Look for “FOOD & WINE” in your device subscriptions.
- Print magazine — Physical copies mailed to you. Often ordered through the publisher, a magazine agent, or sites like magcustomerservice.com.
- Food & Wine Club — A separate membership with benefits; has its own phone number.
Knowing the type points you to the right cancel steps.
