Averys Wines: £25 off

averys logoIn today’s world of big brands and multiple retailing, Averys is proud of its independent wine merchant status, offering wines of flair, flavour and character often neglected by the multiple distributors. They concentrate principally on the home delivery market, and are able to deliver wine to your door throughout the UK.

£25 Off Your First Purchase

Averys has been selling wine for over 200 years and 5 generations later their philosophy remains the same – to provide you with distinctive, quality driven wines delivered with a personal, attentive approach to service. It’s a winning formula that sets them apart from the rest and they would be delighted if you put them to the test today.

It’s not their style to try and tempt you with an ‘unbelievable’ half price deal but would love to welcome you with a genuine £25 discount on your first purchase (when you spend £71 or more). That way you can select the wines that appeal to you from their eclectic range of over 1,000 bottles.

Latest Sore Throat Cure: Wine

The Telegraph recently reported that wine could make a good anti-bacterial mouthwash to fight tooth decay and a sore throat.

Italian, Prf Gabriella Gazzani and colleagues at the University of Pavia showed in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that red wine (and less so white wine) were effective in inhibiting the growth of several strains of streptococci bacteria involved in tooth decay and some cases of sore throat.

Sounds more pleasurable than a salt water gargle!

Wine Relief 2007

wine relief
In conjunction with Comic Relief (aka Red Nose Day), 2007 sees the reintroduction of Wine Relief.

So what is Wine Relief? Well it’s quite simple. When you buy wine from leading wine merchants from 31-Jan until 16-Mar 2007 10% of the sale of selected wines is donated to Comic Relief to help tackle poverty and social injustice in the UK and Africa. Since the launch back in 1999 Wine Relief has raised about £2 million for good causes.

I note that Virgin Wines aren’t listed within the merchants detailed but I can confirm by looking at their website that they do also support Wine Relief too.

Order Wine By Text

After encountering a great wine in a restaurant or at a friend’s house, instead of vowing to remember the name and vintage, Dutch consumers can now dash off a text to BuyYourWine.com. The online wine seller will then get back to them with a price and delivery details.In the US, WineZap offers a similar service. If someone emails or texts them the vintage and wine name, WineZap will email or text them the current low, high and average prices for that wine. If a user adds their zipcode, WineZap includes a list of the nearest retailers that stock the wine, as well as their prices.

Both companies are currently offering the service at no charge. Another example of catering to people’s insatiable desire for relevant information, when and where they want it. Wine-by-text is a great little add-on both for merchants like BuyYourWine, and for intermediaries like WineZap, and it could of course be expanded with such obvious options as letting customers send in cameraphone pictures of wine labels or barcodes.

More On Corks vs Screwcaps

Following on from our earlier post on the best way to bottle wine, the BBC website has a good article on the merits of screwcaps vs corks.

I’m favouring screwcaps at the moment.
