Hi all, someone has just recommended this deal to me (they're a regular customer) they first spotted it in I think the Times. I have just ordered a case for xmas gifts. You have to phone order through and their rrp for this deal is £150. They list lots of other champagnes and wine, to me I thought this was the best deal. :) woops forgot to sya who it was from ! surpluswine.co.uk

    Hi, if this is legit then its a great find

    Sorry to cast doubt, but I think this is too good to be true and there is no postal address for their business

    Please let me know as at these prices I'd buy too!

    I cast an eye of suspicion too.

    Some of the prices on there are a bit to good to be true.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

  • Hi there, the person who recommended to me has now had two orders delivered. It was first advertised in I think the sunday times, when he placed the last order he spoke to the owner to ask if it was a one off promotion and was advised there was always something ongoing on offer. He's a mega wine drinker :rotfl:and is always shopping around - he thought they were great - if you google the name it appears as newspaper offers dated 6/3/10 it seems okay :)

    I know the area. We have offices nearby that I sometimes visit. Not noticed that particular restaurant though.

    Area is reasonable enough.

    Anybody brave enough to buy some? Surely if I pay by credit card I have some protection, if I buy more than £100's worth?

    Please beware folks, and remember the old saying:
    "If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is".
    And as for paying by credit card, I think that you would have to show that you were taking all the precautions about being sensible before purchasing something.
    This sale has not gone unnoticed by the wine fraternity, and is being treated with extreme cynicism.

    Not one for me i'm afraid... If its legit then i'm genuinely sry for doubting..
