Anyone a fan of M&S wines?
I ask as I've done a couple of orders online with them as the offers arrive, and there is one now for 15% off. Its just I've never been very impressed with anything they have sent before.
We dont spend much - a fiver a bottle at Tesco is usually good enough for a beefy Casillero del Diablo from Chile or a soft young Aussie Shiraz, but spending the same with Marks has gotten us rather rough plonk? I even sent some back.
Have I just been unlucky - as their nosh is always fab!

You got a code to share?
I've found them to be Ok but never really been wowed with their wines. I guess you get what you pay for. I tend to stic to the Oz shiraz or Chile Cab sav when I've ordered.
for the mail order wines my fave are from Laithwaites. The Boxer, Waxed Bat and Black Stump are all great big reds for the price IMO

I get mine through the Sunday Times Wine Club. If I give them your details you get details of a 'superb introductory case' and I get a freebie
I've been a member for ages and have never had a bad bottle yet plus it's really exciting opening your case each time to see what's in it I've got the Four Seasons membership which entitles me to two free bottles per case of 12. I think I get four cases a year but I'm not sure. Hic

I use Laithwaites personally.
And they do call every so ofter offering you another introductory offer.
Infact I've another case of 12 wines arriving soon for £46 including delivery
You can't be bad to that.
DownsidesIf you got bottles in the garage then easy, but if you've got to go and buy it then you probably won't
So in that respect it make it far to ******* tempting to drink.

My wife has bought quite a few bottles from M&S when on offer as we also get 20% staff discount.
I have to say I don't like any of it. Just not my taste. Would rather pay a bit more for what i like.

It's definitely cheaper to buy the special offers in the supermarket but they never taste quite the same
I think you'll get a case for about £39.99 as your introductory offer and you can cancel your membership any time after.
Send me your details if you'd like to help give an old wino a couple of free bottles

cheers for the advice. Saying that I just ordered some of this from Tesco. Great price for a nice wine.
