Barrels & Bottles Wine Blog

We survived the very busy Christmas period after some late nights and much overtime (unpaid I hasten to add) to ensure orders were out in time for Christmas. Many thanks to everyone who used and placed an order on the website and we trust you or the recipients enjoyed the wines and accessories over the festive period.

We are currently working on the 2007 wine tasting event calendar and details of the early event will be posted shortly to the website. We are hoping to provide another feature-packed programme with visiting vintners and guest-speakers covering a wide range of wines from all corners of the winemaking globe.

After the stock-taking has been completed - Glenn and Dave are busy counting the bottles as I sit in relative warmth and comfort typing this blog - a full range of special and clearance offers will be made available to make way for the new 2007 ranges due over the coming months. Existing buyers and subscribers to the newsletter will receive a newsletter with some fantastic deals - other deals will be posted to the website.

Look out for details on becoming your own wine merchant using the Barrels & Bottles infrastructure and a new range of cellar accessories including some very technical scientific hygrometers and thermometers that will even allow you to remotely monitor your wine cellar across the internet!

Happy New Year to everyone from all at Barrels & Bottles
