Averys Wines: £25 off
December 6, 2007 By Leave a Comment
In 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.

Do you have any important celebrations coming up, a wedding, perhaps? If so, celebrate with one of the world’s most well-loved Champagnes, at the UK’s very best single-bottle price of just £25.

Latest Sore Throat Cure: Wine
August 23, 2007 By Leave a Comment
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
February 28, 2007 By Leave a Comment
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.

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.

Want to know what an oenophile is?
Well prior to today I didn’t know that an oenophile is a lover of wine. There seems little point in repeating the fuller definition here.

Fancy Your Own Wine Cellar?
December 4, 2006 By Leave a Comment
I happened to read about a company that offers bespoke wine cellars.
The company, Spiral Cellars, offers wine cellars that can accommodate up to 1,600 bottles. The spiral wine cellar takes the form of a watertight, pre-cast cylindrical system installed underground in a room of your choice (ground floor of course!).
Imagine having this little home improvement:
Every Spiral Cellar is the same diameter, but the depth varies depending on how many bottles you wish to store.
Prices start from £7000.
