Wine Rack

As I write this review, First Quench Retailing (the company which operates Wine Rack) is firmly in administration. The stores are still trading, however, and apparently a new buyer is being sought who will continue to trade a large portion of the shops, hopefully saving some jobs in the process. My local store was packed last night. I suppose the fact it was Halloween and a Saturday contributed to this, but there were also a lot of lapsed customers in, being nosy because of the company being in the news. Sadly, I doubt they are going to be returning longer-term. The shop itself looked as though it hadn't been cared for in some time. All the fitments ...  Read the complete review

I am not someone who is a fan of wine but recently my wife and I were heading through to visit my mum who was doing a BBQ so we had decided to pick her up a little bottle of something to go with her meal for her and so when we were dropped off in the town by a taxi we jumped across the road to the nearest wine shop around which happened to be Wine Rack and I have to say I was impressed.

They also sell snack foods such as crisps, chocolate and sweets, and have a refrigerated selection of soft drinks such as water, lemonade, coke, fanta, ribena etc so if you are passing and wanted to just buy a soft drink you can get that from here too. They always have a selection of offers on which is good so you could buy some wines at ...  Read the complete review
