Needed something for a party

Had a flat party on the Saturday and needed wine sorted by the Thursday. Got it ordered in like five mins and it came Friday morning, all good. Cheap and cheerful stuff, went down a treat.

First order arrived fine

Ordered a case of the Rioja red as a first go with them and it turned up in good time, bottles all in one piece with proper cardboard dividers. Checked the vintage against what the site said and it matched. Ordering was simple enough, took maybe five minutes to make an account and pay. Wasn't sure what to expect from an online wine merchant but they've made it easy so far, will be ordering again for the Christmas run.

Better than the high street

Compared with the high street off-licence, I found the choice here rather more thoughtful, and the tasting notes were a real help. The white Burgundy we ordered for my husband's retirement lunch was just right. They've been very obliging.

My usual order again

I've been ordering the white Burgundy from them for about eight years now, it's the one I always go back to for dinner parties. This time one bottle arrived with the label a bit scuffed, though the wine was fine. The delivery came a day later than the slot I'd picked. Still, it's a convenient service and I've no real complaint.

still my go to

They're still my go to for wine, I've been using them for years now. Ordering the mixed case was quick as ever. A bit pricier than some, but the bottles are always good.

Needed a bottle for mum

Needed a bottle for mum's birthday and forgot til the Tuesday before. Ordered it and it came in time, which was a relief. The wine's decent but the postage was a bit steep for just one bottle.

better than the supermarket

Compared with the supermarket wine aisle, I found the selection here far more considered, and the notes on each bottle were genuinely helpful. I've been buying from the same local merchant for years but their range has shrunk lately. The staff replied to my question about a sparkling wine within the hour, which I did appreciate. I shall be keeping an account open here.

Tried a few before this

Had looked at a couple of other wine sites before settling on this one, and the filters here made it far quicker to find a dry rosé under a certain price. Ordered six bottles and the substitutions they made were sensible. Packaging was solid and nothing broke. Will use them again for the summer.

Good range, slightly pricey

Worth ordering from if you know what you want, the range of smaller producers is better than most. The bottles I've had from them have been in very good nick and the tasting notes match what I've tasted. Prices sit a bit above the bigger merchants though, so I tend to buy the mixed cases when there's an offer on. Delivery has been reliable each time.

Needed wine for a lunch

We needed wine for a family lunch at short notice, my daughter was coming down from Leeds and I'd only just remembered. I did find the prices a little higher than I'd like for what we got, though I suppose that's to be expected from a specialist. The order was taken without any bother and the wine itself was perfectly pleasant, though the delivery took longer than the page suggested.

needed a gift quickly

I needed a gift for my dad's birthday and had forgotten until the week before. Found a decent bottle of single malt on the site, ordered it on the Tuesday and it was at his door by Friday. The gift message option was handy too. Didn't have to queue or drive anywhere, which after the month I've had was a relief.

Nicer than the supermarket

Compared with the supermarket, the bottles here are a good deal more interesting and the descriptions are rather helpful. I did find the labels a touch small to read without my spectacles. The rosé we tried was lovely and arrived in good order.

the tasting notes were spot on

The tasting notes were the thing I noticed most, they described a Chablis I'd bought before almost exactly as I'd tasted it myself, which I did not expect from a website. I ordered for my husband's retirement dinner and the wine went down very well with everyone. Delivery was prompt and the bottles arrived unbroken, which is what counts.

Tried a few places first

Tried a few places first and this was the one I kept. The filters made it quick to find a dry red I actually wanted. Packed well and nothing arrived damaged.

the labels are tiny

the labels on the bottles are really small so you need your glasses to read them lol. Delivery was quick though, two days. Prices are a bit higher than the big online shops for the same bottles, not massively. Would probably only use it for something special.

Sparkling wine gift box

Bought the sparkling wine gift box as my first order with them and it arrived in four days, wrapped in tissue with the bottles sitting upright in a proper insert. The fizz was lovely and the card with the note about the producer was a nice touch for my sister's engagement. Nothing broke, nothing leaked, and I'd order again for a present.

wine for a night in

Got a couple of bottles for a night in with my mates and the rosé was proper nice, didn't expect it to be that good. Site was easy to use on my phone. Would get it again.

Reds were off

Ordered a case of the Crianza reds from them and I've been a customer a long while, so I expected better. Two bottles had a cork that crumbled and one tasted flat. Chasing a replacement took three emails and nearly a week before anything happened.

Delivery charge stood out

The delivery charge on a small order stood out to me, it's a fair bit more than I'd pay if I just bundled it into a bigger shop. Wine itself was good and the bottles arrived fine. Worth waiting for a minimum spend to get it free.

decent but a bit steep

Ordered a box of mixed reds for the flat and they're good, nothing to complain about on the wine. Checkout took a couple of goes because it kept timing out on my phone. Delivery was next day, which was nice. Costs more than I'd usually spend but I got it on a deal.
