UK Wine Drinkers Shun Pubs for Living Rooms
Times may be hard on the high street, with restaurants and bars feeling the pinch as drinkers and party animals choose to save the money which they would have once flashed around town on a Friday and Saturday night in order to stay in over a couple of bottles of wine with friends - a move which many of us would have recommended long before the credit crunch anyway!
So how do you find the best wine deals online? Well, for starters, forget about buying a single bottle. Savings come to you through buying per case, or in many instances buying multiple cases at once. The trick here is to resist drinking the entire case in one sitting….In addition, look for wine vouchers and wine voucher codes which may entitle you to up to £40 off the purchase.
The UK is blessed with some rather good wine clubs online. One of the most well regarded of these is Virgin Wines.
Virgin Wines is perceived by consumers to have an excellent policy toward its customers, allowing them to exchange wines which they order but do not like (as long as it only takes one bottle to tell!)The uptake in people using wine clubs to buy wine is fitting with a general pattern for consumer spending during the recession; a pattern which shows that people have swapped paying the mark-ups placed by restaurants and bars on food and drink, choosing instead to treat themselves at home.
