Wine Society to give away ‘Golden Bottles’

UK merchant The Wine Society has announced it is to give away 21 ‘golden tickets’ in the form of bottles of wine worth £200 in its orders this March.

Running from 1-29 March, 21 lucky customers will have a fine wine from “the cream of Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhône as well as the best of the New World”, slipped into their order, completely free.

The offer also applies to those customers who have already placed orders that have a March delivery date.

Head buyer, Pierre Mansour, said: “We love to share the joy of good wine at every opportunity and we’d like to say a big thank you to our members. As a result of their support, The Society enjoyed a great 2018. This is our way of showing our gratitude in the best way we can, with treasured bottles from our archive stocks – golden nuggets dug out from our cellars.

“The selection is truly mouth-watering, featuring the cream of Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône as well as the best of the new world. If any of the wines were still available to buy– most are now extremely rare – the market value would be in excess of £200 per bottle. Members will be pleased to know that they were a lot cheaper before we carefully aged them.”
