    Advantages Advantages Excellent quality. Value for money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to buy a whole case.

    Ok, I admit it I like odd glass or two but is buying a whole case of wine excessive? The first time I did it I felt really decadent but now I find that I get really good value for money. Im not very good at choosing wines off the supermarket shelf - I am often disappointed - so now I leave it the experts. VIRGIN WINES Yet another love child of the bearded one this website is very much what you would expect. It debunks all the wine snobbery and gives fun, accessible, descriptions of the wines. 2 WAYS TO CHOOSE A CASE(12 bottles) I always go straight to the MIIXED CASES section as I'm pretty ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great value boutique wines

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The on-line wine auctions are addictive!

    I have been buying from Virgin Wines for about three years and I have been consistently impressed with the quality and value for money of their wines. They have got a very good range of wines from all around the world, which vary in price from as little as £4 right up to £85 for a bottle of Dom Perignon 2000. I belong to their Wine Bank, which is effectively a loyalty programme. You pay £20 each month into the Wine Bank and every three months Virgin Wines will add another £20 in interest, so when you come to buy your wine you effectively get 25% off. You can pay more into your Wine Bank if you ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, excellent service, sometimes surprising

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Addictive, not good for your liver

    I joined Virgin Wine as they offer a £20 voucher for the first order. As there is no commitment to order more than one case I figured it could not hurt to try it. The first case we bought was very good. The cases vary in price and we choose one at about £50. After than we would choose our own wines to build a case every so often and started rating the wines on the virgin website. The idea is you can keep tasting notes and your opinions on each wine; which mean that you can check what you have purchased previously so you can rebuy the ones you really liked without having the ones that did not ... more

    1 Star Quick review of Virgin Wines by Hollybete 19/03/2008
    Was very impressed with the wine and the delivery, UNITL things started to go wrong. After receiving a seconf case of wine in a twop week period, I informed them of their mistake. However I was told that £90 had came out of my account ten days prior and that it would not be refunded until at least 5 days after they had received back the wine, that they sent me by mistake! With customer service like this no wonder Riochard Branson is so rich! Avoid at all costs

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages convenient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages inflated prices for mediocre wine and misleading descriptions of wine

    I have had 4 cases of red wines from Virgin and have gradually become more and more disallusioned with their product. A couple of gems ( Black Pig) are hidden in the midst of a multitude of very average wine. My main complaint though is that Virgin consistently over hype and over price their wine and then offer amazing discounts to lure you into buying. Thus Virgin Wines will consistently advertise wines in glowing terms and state that they are being sold at a relatively high price....before offering you the chance to snap up a bargain at a super-duper discount. More fool you (and me) if you ... more
