We had a team event coming up and needed a load of wine sorted quickly, so I ended up ordering from here. I was rushing between meetings and needed it to arrive before Friday. It did, and it came with everything I'd asked for. The tasting notes helped me pick a decent spread without having to think too hard. The team liked it and I didn't have to chase anyone. Good to have sorted.
Read moreHonestly I've been ordering from them for years and this time was a letdown. The bottle of gin I wanted was listed as in stock, then my order got cancelled two days later with an email saying it was out. I had to go back to the site and start again, and the replacement took another week to turn up. I used to just reorder without thinking but I'm not sure I will now, the service has slipped.
Read moreI needed something special for my husband's fiftieth and wanted a decent whisky rather than the usual supermarket bottle. I've been ordering from them for years, mostly for gifts. This time I went for a single malt from their rare casks section and it arrived beautifully presented. He was thrilled and the whole thing went without a fuss. The gift message option worked well too. I'll keep coming…
Read moreNeeded a bottle of dark rum and some mixers for a house party on Saturday, so I ordered Thursday night. The rum was a few quid less than the supermarket and the mixers were on the same order. Delivery was next day but the driver left it with a neighbour without a note, which was a bit annoying. Nothing broke and the rum tasted fine, so it did the job.
Ordered on my phone during a lunch break and it was fine to use. Delivery was a day later than I was told which was a bit annoying. Still good stuff though, the wine tasted fine. Would use again.
I've been buying from them for a while and the main reason I keep going back is that they beat the big online shops on the bottles I like, Argentinian malbec in particular. Compared to the other sites I looked at, the price was a bit higher on this one order, but the selection was better and the descriptions were more useful. Delivery took two days when I'd hoped for one, which was a small niggle. Still a solid choice.
Had a last minute house party and needed mixers and a few bottles of rum sorted fast. Ordered on the Friday and it came Saturday morning which was just in time. Stuff was decent and the prices weren't bad, though the delivery fee tacked on at the end was a bit steep for what it was. Did the job though, would use them again.
Compared it to the big supermarket delivery slot and this was way easier, no wrestling with a stupid timeslot. Ordered beer and a few mixers, all arrived in one go. Only thing was one can was a bit warm but nothing major.
My order of prosecco for a family get together was a few days later than I'd hoped, which was a bit of a pinch. The bottles themselves were lovely and cold when they arrived, and the site was easy enough to navigate on my laptop. I did have to ring to ask where the order was, and the reply took a while to come back. Still, it got there in time for the weekend.
