Tonys' certainly outdone himself - a combination of clever marketing and subtle pricing has provided the largest growth of any of the latest new wave 'e-trad businesses'
The wine deals are OK and the icing on the cake is the arrival at your home of well selected cases - usually with something for all tastes. OK you can buy good wine a few pence cheaper in the supermarkets, but lets face it if you know the difference between a Rjoca and a Cianti then your looking for something more than Tescos special reserve !
Just be careful how much you are spending - its getting too easy for these companies to charge your Credit Card in your absence and accordingly you can end up with some unexpected bills - especially if you inavertantly sign up to one of the regular deliveries - of which there are many to pick from.
In summary if you like good wine and despair at the supermarkets choice/quality - this is the best way to buy top quality wine and its so easy, so just enjoy it !!
