mgsontour Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hi all I'm sick of the same old wines in the supermarkets and looking for an online retailer who reviews their wines accurately and offers value for money? Although I do enjoy fine wine I after an online retailer that offers a variety of price ranges Thanks in advance Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Look up luke flunder he does a lot of reviews via social media but has a website & a email list to subscribe to which sends out weekly reviews & recommendations of wines to try. Also majestic wine is well worth a vistit & can be sourced online I know you've stated you are tired of supermarket stuff but if you are ever in a sainsbury's & like red wine try d.v cantena malbec around £12 mark sometimes on offer down to £10 spot on imo Edited May 28, 2023 by Stephen-H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wines they produce are outstanding. Great value if you can find them in the UK - as the South African Rand is struggling relative to Stirling.

DrBob1 Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I've been a member of the Wine Society for many years. Their wines are good, but the delivery service is chaotic and sometimes unreliable. I get on well with Laithwaites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree; When there is an option to use their own van, it is good, but DHL are very poor (local delivery guy excepted as I always seem to get the same driver who is excellent).

holloway Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Laithwaites are very good and you can get a big discount when you sign up for first order and there is always a deal to be had somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
