Wine deal, is it worthwhile?

Am tempted by today's KGB offer (they are similar to Groupon) but not sure if its worth it:
These are the wines

and the overall deal

which is £35 once postage paid.
Is this good value for these wines they have put together? Can anyone who knows a bit more than me comment - or would I do just as well with the half price offers in tesco?
Sometimes I go abit overboard with Groupon etc so am trying to be careful - but I just cant accurately cost this. I know that in the supermarkets you arent really getting a true half price deal.
obviously I know that you can just go to these wine offer websites and put something together cheaply butI wondered if this deal was put together as a special quite carefully to attract people.
Thank you

My knowledge of wine goes no than sussing out the best value I can get in Tesco in £5-£6 range.
Today on KGB (like groupon) there is a special offer - plenty of detail about the wines but I just dont know if I would be getting my moneys worth. Its £35 as £7 postage. I know these offers are two a penny on every leaflet but just wondered if this represents 6 good bottles
Here are the links, would be grateful for any comments - not sure if this is best board to post on?
Many thanks

It's an introductory deal to get you on their database, with the hope you'll buy more cases in the future. I buy from Virgin Wines, never had a bottle I haven't liked, except one. I gave that a bad rating and they gave me money back (credited my account which of course meant I'd to buy another case to get the benefit of the credit!). They do have some good offers, especially after Christmas.
Virgin Wines is now part of Direct Wines (Laithwaites, Sunday Times, British Airways etc) so good reliable service.
I'd say this is a pretty good deal0
