Advantages: Excellent quality. Value for money.
Disadvantages: You have to buy a whole case.

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.

I always go straight to the MIIXED CASES section as I'm pretty clueless. There are 3 sections.
Budget - up to around £4 a bottle.
Everyday - around ...

Value for Money

Fine Virgin Wines

Advantages: Great value boutique wines
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 ...
...parties and summer BBQ's. Virgin Wines also have an Auction area on their website where you can pick up a real steal. Last year I purchased a dozen bottles of Leasingham Bin 56 Cabernet Malbec with a retail price of £120 for just £56. In addition, they have seasonal sales and last January I picked up a mixed case of Chilean Red Wine, which I selected myself, for about half price. As with most wine clubs, Virgin Wines offer a full money back guarantee ...

Review of Virgin Wines

Virgin Wines - love them

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent service, sometimes surprising
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; ...
...to buy it again. Virgin noticed this and refunded the money for the wine without being asked. Amazing. Our budget has gone down now so I can not afford the cases on a regular basis, but I do keep an eye on the auctions and have purchased a case of wine for £30. At the moment we pay no more that £4 a bottle and the wines have been really good for that money. The cases are often different and we have had some £10 bottles of wines in the avg price ...

Quick review of Virgin Wines

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 ...

VIRGIN WINES

Advantages: SERVICE/COST/ SEND BACK IF YOU DON'T LIKE
Disadvantages: MIGHT END UP AN ALCOHOLIC

Joined virgin after my sister told me about VIRGIN WINES. I had the discovery case and was really pleased with the customer service, delivery times etc !!! Wine was good quality and perfect to think if you don't like any wine you just let them know and they send you another free of charge!!!- my sister always does this!! Also great value too as you can spend quite a lot of money buying from supermarkets to get them home and you don't like them!!- ...

Review of Virgin Wines

Avoid Virgin Wines!!! Go to Laithwaites

Advantages: Could have been a simple transaction, but wasn't!
Disadvantages: Wine didn't arrive despite endless promises and guarantees from customer services!!!

...gone back to Laithwaites, who I have never had a problem with. But Virgin Wines continued to promise and guarantee but not deliver. I didn't think this was how Richard Branson did business! My recommendation is to avoid Virgin Wines and use someone else......anyone else! ...

Ideal for the red wine virgin!

Advantages: very good value
Disadvantages: All the usual one associated with drinking too much alcohol!

I, like many people, never used to like red wine. I found it too dry and it gave me terrible hangovers the following day. However, I like a drink and when I read in a paper that a glass of red wine a day is good for you (ok - any excuse!) I decided to start trying a few. The Bottle It was the label on the bottle that appealed to me and made me want to try it. It's a very simple design in red and gold and states the name (Blossom Hill - obviously) and the country of origin (California USA). It was the fact that it says "soft and fruity" that made me think that maybe this one wouldn't taste like vinegar. On the back of the bottle is another label telling you a little about the taste of the wine and reassuring you off the quality of the grapes. The Colour and Smell The wine is a gorgeous, dark red colour which looks like ...

Review of Blossom Hill Red

Blossoms from California

Advantages: Fruity flavour, woody elements, Reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Not the best Chardonnay but what do you expect at this price

Several weeks ago I was going through a few opinions on both Dooyoo and Ciao on White Wines. I came across one on both sites about Blossom Hill Chardonnay and although the particular reviewer was a little critical of the wine, it seemed to fit my liking pretty well. (BB hope you're reading) I regularly place a mixed case order (12 bottles) with Virgin Wines primarily because they offer you the utmost choice and cover over a thousand different brands and types of wines. Their prices are also excellent aswell as delivery. So in my last order I included a bottle of this, alongwith my usual selection of wines. Now lets get back to the wine in question. Blossom Hill Chardonnay is a Californian wine and one the reasons why I decided to try this one out was because of my past favourable experiences with another Californian wine by Paul ...

Review of Blossom Hill Californian Chardonnay

The white wine, that happens to be red

Advantages: simple, clean and crisp
Disadvantages: too simple for some

drunk with fish, or chicken dishes. The Beaujolais nouveau, is the lightest of the wines from this region, and is the easiest for the red wine virgin to enjoy. It has been called a white wine, that happens to be red, and this is quite apt. Even for the more experienced, it offers something with its fresness unequalled by any other red. All that needs to be said now, is for you guys to make me a promise. Try this before you write-off red wine. I can promise you that it will not be a waste of time, and that if you open your mind and your heart to it, you may well be surprised. Feel free to leave comment if you find this helpful, and also I would be genuinely interested to see if you took my advice, and tried a bottle. And if so, was i right or wrong? Recommended, to even the red wine virgin!!! G Summary: The white wine, that ...
