I’ve recently decided that I could be poorer and joined a couple of wine clubs and a coffee club. I don’t know anything about wine, just getting into it. Just saw good introductory offers with the Sunday times wine club and Virgin wines so went for it. Only sampled the Sunday times one so far and I’m enjoying it. I like to think I know a bit more about coffee. Had the most delicious coffee in a cafe in Prague called cafe Jen. Found out that their beans come from an English roaster called Hasbean. I now get a different bag of coffee sent to me every other Friday. It’s fantastic. Anyone else getting their legal uppers and downers via a ‘club’?
Just noticed the Times Wine Club in the paper this morning...while drinking a lovely espresso I had just made...was slightly tempted by the deal but most likely will pass it up.
It’s no strings attached. You can get the 14 bottles for £55 and then cancel the next day for no cost. I decided to stay on because they don’t send you anything unless you want it.
I get the impression that they all do half price sorta introductory deals. The bottles probably cost a tenner each if bought on their own on average. After that the savings are more like 20%. It’s all about buying in bulk and tempting people with offers. But if you’re someone like me who usually buys a bottle in the supermarket or local wine store for £6-£30 depending on the occaision, I’m quite happy to try their choices and take the 20% saving. I don’t think it’s aimed at people who know a lot about wine or usually spend a lot on carefully selected bottles.
It goes in one hole and comes out of another hole. I have to say with the more expensive wines, when it comes out, I struggle to see the £30 difference
Get mine from Grindhouse, currently working through a Columbia noir, love a good cup of coffee, recently indulged my fetish with a new Jura z8 bean to cup machine, trouble is when I work from home an espresso or latte is so accessible, I'm wired most of the time
All sounds a bit mincy to me....is everyone here drinking their thimble sized half-caff-double-de-caff-with-a-twist-of-lemon with their pinky finger out?
I just use nespresso. I place four orders a year, but each one is £100 a pop I like my espresso, I do.
