At Gin Tonica bar all of the gins will be paired with their perfect tonic and garnish combo, and all will be an absolute bargain at £5 each for a 35ml measure. The cocktail bar will range from progressive takes on the Martini to lip smackingly lucious new inventions from both distillers and teams from the best bars across London.

Win Grand Cru Champagne When You Review A Wine On Wines Direct

Review a wine competition

We have 2 bottles of Grand Cru Champagne to give away! One for the best review written on Wines Direct and a prize draw for all the other reviews.

We try to help our users get the most valuable information to choose the right wines at the right price. And who better to advise about a wine than someone who actually tried it? That's why we want to reward the users who take the time to write reviews on our website with delicious Grand Cru Champagne.

How does it work?

To enter the competition, just review a product (wine, Champagne and spirits) on our website before 23:59 on Monday 15th September 2014. One winner will be drawn at random and another will be selected by our judges for the best review written during the competition. Both will receive a bottle of Grand Cru Champagne.

Tips

To review a product, use our review form on the product page (read our step by step guide on the next tab). You can review as many products as you want but be aware that we will enter your email address only once in the draw so you won't get any more chances of winning. Enter a valid email address as this will be the only way for us to contact you if you win! The quick rating system (giving stars to products) doesn't enable you to enter the competition so be careful to use our review form to enter.


And the winners are...

"Brilliant news. My youngest son has just returned safe and well from serving in Helmand, Afghanistan, so we shall drink with and to him and to all who serve us in dangerous places, when he comes home on leave to us in Sussex in a couple of weeks." - John from Rotherfield
