I'm very surprised to see the plethora of negative reviews for this website! I have used them for just over a year and halve ordered from them three times, with minimal fuss. I had opted for their 'Winebank' plan, whereby you 'save' £20 a month and they reward you with an additional £20 every three months. So, 3 months of wine 'savings' = £80 after they contribute. This has allowed me to order three very nice crates of wine (personally selected) at what I consider to be a very reasonable price. I have had one problem with them (my first crate of wine disappeared off the radar for about a week!) That said, it was an address that managed ...  Read the complete review

Like most people I placed my first order with Virgin wines due to getting a £20 discount off the first order. I've ordered a few times since especially when they've had special offers but I like to shop around. Virgin don't like this and they keep phoning trying to solicit an order. This makes me even more determined not to buy. I don't know how many times they'd credit your money back when you say you don't like a wine but I've only done it once and they did give me a credit. I can't help feeling however, that if you push your luck with too many claims they'd cancel your membership. If they don't the rest of us must be subsidising the complainers. They don't ...  Read the complete review

Lastminute.com treated us to £20 off a case of wine from Virginwine.com, when we booked a holiday. We couldn't refuse the tempting offer, saves having to pack wine in our case when returning from holiday! I later discovered you don't need to book with lastminute.com to get the offer, if you log on to the site there is a password for £20 off your first order, but that's life isn't it! Logging onto Virginwines.com a bright home page greets you in purple and red colours mostly. You are asked to log in if you haven’t done so before, a very easy process – my husband even did it! Then each time you log on, it welcomes you back by name! The main part of the ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to summarise my experience in one word but if I were forced to do so then I think "woeful" would be the closest I could get. My experience with Virgin Wines from start to (unsatisfactory) finish was a time that I hope will soon fade to a distant bad memory. Perhaps one day I will laugh about it. But I doubt it. What began as a simple and enjoyable process of online wine selection starting turning sour a few days later when 2 bottles that I had ordered (indicated as being the last 2 available) were advised as being out of stock. Nevermind, I'm a practical sort of chap and one brief re-order later and I sat back to await the delivery. ...  Read the complete review

Sorry, just couldn?t resist the title! I?ve always been partial to a drop of wine but until a year ago I pretty much consumed the cheapest wines possible. If it was on offer in Tesco as ?two for a fiver? it was mine. Then a work colleague introduced me to Virgin Wines with a £20 discount off my first order?more about this later. I ordered a ?summer? case of 6 red and 6 white wines, for under £50, which were promptly delivered ? and consumed. WHAT?S GOOD ABOUT IT? While the standard price of a bottle of wine is above the £5 mark, there are some pretty good, and frequent, special offers any where from bulk buys, through to ...  Read the complete review
