    Hi there is also a code for £40 off virgin wines flying around, I will find it and PM it to you as I am unable to post links on here, cheers

    You don't need to be able to post a link, just post the code.

    Or is the code on your web site, in the form of an affiliate link that makes you money when people click it and buy?

    If are planning to buy large quantity of wine bottles then it is better to search in the internet and find good location which sells good wine. It is essential to have good wine cellar to store these wine bottles in good condition.

    a cellar isnt needed as the wine is a gift

    I can confirm that the Sunday Times wine club, like the British Airways wine club, is a trading outlet for Laithwaites. And Laithwaites are excellent: I have been using them for more than ten years and have never been disappointed. Anyway, they offer a selection of mixed cases: these are high quality and within your budget, but normally each case would include at least two bottles of each wine. Also, note that many of their best deals are actually subscriptions, so you need to make a point of cancelling (which is easy and free) after you have ordered, or else your friends will receive another present in three months!

    Note that Lathwaites give a good cashback through sites like TopCashBack and Quidco.

    Marks and Spencer also sell good wine on-line, and again cash-back is available.

    Hey, I agree with Pee about the sunday times wine club. Really good and there are always some good deals on.

    Whilst you're there...

    Browse their advice on the best wine to have with your food. Its great for a diner party and can help you sound very knowledgeable ;)

    I second or third the Laithwaites vote. You can sign up to there all seasons wine plan for 12 bottles of wine for £39.99 or just get two cases (for your 24 bottles) for just under £80.

    p.s even though you've signed up to a wine plan you can cancel it anytime no bother at all. I've joined 2 or 3 times in the past.
    I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain amount of things, at this rate I may never die!

    I've used Virgin Wines in the past. They are really good, got some great wines from them in the past. It's made into a fussy wine drinker lol.

    I know you want to be different and have 25 bottles and all that...
    But I find M&S wines absolutely excellent. Currently have free delivery and 10% off if you buy 2 cases.. They do mixed cases too, but you will get 24 unfortunately..

    I have never yet been disapointed with their wine and for the price.. Just bought 12 bottles for £56 & don't forget Quidco too.. They will gift wrap.

    And personally I think buying M&S says you didn't forgo on quality..

    [FONT=&quot]I know you want to buy M&S wine. There are many restaurants that sale exceptionally expensive bottle of wine. I give you an advice to buy the wine from supermarket. It is only the place you where you buy the M&S wine with 10% of discount.[/FONT]


    I buy all my Wine online, mainly through M&S Wine direct. They often have deals like 25% off for two cases, order via Quidco and get another 3% off. Lets face it who wants to lug a couple of cases of wine around M&S and pay more for the privilege!
  • The largest and clearest benefit of buying wine online is that it is possible to find some amazing discounts and brilliant prices. The main reason behind this is that unlike high street shops, online retailers can afford to charge lower prices as there are fewer overheads for the business. There are so many online sites where you can buy wine online.
