Let down by Tesco, but can you help save my wedding day?

Try Majestic wines, they will advise and also deliver free. Better still if you live down south why not pop over to their place in Calais, you can save a lot and if you pre order £300+ online they give you a free ferry crossing or £30 discount. We take a trip over most years.

My dad did this for my wedding, we got some fabulous wine for next to nothing.

Hi, this is only my first post, and I am after advice and help.

I posted this in a previous thread about 6 bottles of Baron Phillipe de Rothschild Enchante Sauvignon Semillion Bordeaux (2007) for £19.50

Does anyone know where to get a similar quality wine for a good price, I have two weeks untill the wedding but no wine so any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance!


seriously let down by Tesco
With the previously mentioned great offer my fiancee and I decided to use both the red and white as the wine for our wedding day. We tried to buy it online when the offer first came out but due to a technical problem with their website they were unable to it.

Not to be outdone we ordered some in store to pick up, this was done on 15/06/2009. The day for collection was 23/26/09. While we were waiting for our order of 78 bottles of each type we were stockpiling the wine by buying it off the shelf in our local store.

When I drove down to Tesco with a van I had rented to pick up our 156 bottles to my horror they told me they were unable to get them from the warehouse because it was out of stock. :mad: (No phone call before, no real apology just that they can't guarantee orders placed in store):mad:

My fianc!e and I don't want to mix and match different wine types so now have a bit of a problem thanks to Tesco. The annoying thing is that if they had told us that they could not get the delivery earlier we could have gone to all the local stores and brought more of the wine we were stockpiling from different stores and had enough.

I phoned Tesco and said I would drive anywhere in the country to pick some up if they had any left but they would not help. Even phoning the stores around proved fruitless as the most any one store had was 24 bottles and there was no guarantee that by the time we drove round them all they would still be there.

I think the best plan is to take back the bottles we already have, and get some wine somewhere else.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what to do next? Or know where we can get a similar quality wine for the same price?

–Thanks for your help

Send this post as it is in a email to Tesco boss Terry Leahy, Chief Executive, [EMAIL="terry.leahy@tesco.com"]terry.leahy@tesco.com[/EMAIL].

These CEO's are more interested in these cases than you actually think !

Good Luck with e mail and getting the wine and with Wedding :beer:

First time we went we hadnt a clue so asked someone loading up a car next to us in car park. He said he had a resturaunt in London and went over for his house wine - It was called La Manche and was 99p a bottle!! Can you imagine what he would be charging for it in London?? We did actually buy some and have done each time weve gone over and its not half bad LOL

Thanks, to everyone who replied to this post, in the end I went to Virgin wine. The main reason being they were able to get close to the price we paid at Tesco, and secondly they will deliver to my door, after the hassle I have already had, I just want plain sailing before our wedding.

Thanks again
