Advantages: good quality wine, delivered to your door, excellent prices

Disadvantages: you may drink a lot

Do you like wine? Where do you buy it? Any good?

If you answered
'yes! yes! oh yes!'
'off licence/supermarket'
and 'sometimes'

(or similar)

...then you need my advice (yes, you do)

Why? Because I've been buying top rate wines (better than your average lucky dip supermarket experience) for about a year now - and all at half price.

How? Through rigorous scouring of newspapers and supliments.

I first bought a case of wine through met wines advertised in the free london paper 'Metro'. It was on offer at half price to first timers - so I received 12 bottles and I think another 3 free, each worth around £7.00. But it averaged out at around £3.00/bottle.

Now you'd pay that for a cooking wine, wouldn't you?

Next, I spotted an ad in a sunday suppliment with a similar company (sorry - can't remember the company - the wine was that good!) Again, I got better wine than I'd ever drunk before for £3.00/bottle (ish)

Lastly, I picked up on a Barclaycard offer - and traded a few points earned, for a half price, Laithwaites case.

Fabulous!

I have never had such good wine - the quality alone has meant that I've loved every bottle.

Before, I was adamant that I only liked Australian Reds and Californian Whites but now I am open to any country for either.

You don't know what you like until you've tried it - and what better way than to put your drinking fate in the hands of a company desperate to make a good impression.

Every offer I took up was without strings. I can re-order if I choose, but I won't be hunted down and shot if I don't.

oh, and I forgot to mention. It's all delivered to your door - so no heavy lifting from the shops. Hurrah!

So, the moral of the story is: If you buy wine, scour the papers for offers like these. They're not scams - they
9;re opportunites to find out what you've been missing all these years.

And I know how you dooyooers like a bargain.

Let me know how you get on..

and yes - I have been drinking!
