VinNOW is the familiar, club-centric desktop tool many small wineries grew up on, priced by active member count (around $99/mo for up to 150). MemberZone is the modern, cloud, register-native alternative: native Toast and Square, built-in fulfillment, and pricing on volume instead of a per-member license that taxes growth. Stick with VinNOW if its desktop workflow and per-member pricing suit a tiny club; move to MemberZone if you want a modern platform that scales without charging you per member.
