Say Hello To Baileys Wine

A quick hello goes to our latest wine merchant, Baileys Wines.

Baileys Wines are an independant merchant specialising purely in Spanish wines. We feel that they compliment the larger, national merchants that we also promote here at Wine Junction. Offering a great selection of Spanish wine, coupled with a great, easy-to-use website, you’ll quickly find that Spanish wine that you’re after!

EU Alcohol Ruling Means No Cheaper Wine

The BBC reports that the European Court has ruled against allowing consumers to buy drinks and cigarettes online at lower excise duties from abroad. However, the BBC report does go on to suggest that this decision could be a short term reprieve for the UK Treasury because planned draft legislation could reverse this decision in the future.

So, in the meantime, the best way to source out your online wine deals is to visit winejunction. Well we would say that wouldn’t we!

Majestics Profits Up

The high street and online wine retailer Majestic Wine has recently announced a 17% increase in the first half the year.

I read with interest that the average spend per transaction at Majestic has continued to rise – up to £121 compared to £115 the year before. The average price of a bottle of still wine in now £5.66 against £5.54 a year earlier.

Online sales grew too with an increase in orders placed via the Majestic’s website up 43%. Online wine sales now represent 6.4% of Majestic’s UK retail sales.

WineJunction: A New, Online Wine Offers Site

We’re a little eager with the announcement, but what the heck !

This is our new site, winejunction.co.uk and it has gone live today. It isn’t actually quite finished yet but we wanted to get it out in to the wild so-to-speak so that it can start to fend for itself.

So what does the site promote? Well, winejunction has been published with the aim of bringing together under one roof the main UK online wine merchants. We can offer the consumer web exclusive offers and discounts and we allow for easy comparison of the current online wine deals. There is an overview of each of the wine merchants, such as Majestics, coupled with an unobtrusive banner enabling the shopper to click through to the desired wine store.

The site and this blog will be updated with the latest news from the merchants and we’ll attempt to bring your attention to interesting wine related topics and news too.
