Sustainability focus: Naked Wines
As we are all aware, sustainability is one issue that will simply not go away. The first things that come to mind when you think sustainable range from reusing pots, recycling plastic and cutting down on car journeys, but the wine world actually plays quite a role itself. Not just in leading the way in logistics and distribution sustainability, but also farming techniques helping reduce harmful chemicals, wastewater and even using drones. Check out my article on sustainability in Bordeaux for…
Supermarket Wine Offers: 25% off 6
The Supermarket “Save 25%” on Wine deal is one of our favourites at WinesDirect and certainly the most popular amongst our users too. What’s more, these deals see you save a whole lot more because this 25% saving is often applied on top of wines already on offer. We have seen total savings reach a whopping 70% and up before! Unlike most websites who will just tell you when a deal is on, we will show you the saving and exact cost per bottle so you don’t have to work out the maths yourself. A…
The Wine52 Loire Valley Tour
Wine52 know a thing or two about French wine and the Loire is an absolute gem for reasonably priced, quality wine from the French wine scene. Winemaking in the Loire goes back a long way, from the Romans to Louis XIV, who had his home there at the Château de Chambord. The wine’s popularity came largely thanks to the easy access to the Atlantic along the River Loire which made it a great trading hub for easy boat transport. It is also rather close to Paris meaning that Loire wines were, and still…
Introducing Mr. Wheeler Wine
Mr. Wheeler Wine goes all the way back to the Victorian era in 1883, where a certain George Wheeler’s passion for fine, quality wine began with the opening of their store in Colchester. Fast forward to today and you’ll find George’s great-great grandson at the helm – it’s a family business after all. Mr. Wheeler have often been at the forefront of the wine market from providing early cellarage services to being the first wine retailer outside of London to receive an almost full page spread in…
Go Naked this Summer
Yes, go Naked this Summer, perhaps not physically (unless you fancy a trip to the Brighton naturist beach) but with your wine choices. Naked are the wine merchant that give you the naked truth (time to stop using that word?) about their wines, where they are from, how they are made and even the story and winemaking background of each and every winemaker behind the wines that you’re bound to fall in love with. The big word that might put you off is “subscription” but when it comes to Naked, they…
Warehouse Wines: Specialists in Value
Warehouse Wines are quite the find for those in the know. In essence, they work directly with producers, ship directly from them and cut out the marketing tripe. No middleman and no extra fees! This means that the money spent on the juice itself is reflected far more at Warehouse Wines than your average retailer. Sure, you might look at a bottle elsewhere worth £3.50 and think “wow, what value”, but if it tastes like the plonk it is, then it isn’t value. It’s simply cheap plonk. This is where…

They have a huge range of gifts, tasting sets and every spirit imaginable. We have gone through and selected our top 10 to help you choose the best present for Dad.

The Laithwaites Wine Festival 2024
This year a few of us from WinesDirect were kindly invited along to the Laithwaites Wine Festival in May to get to meet producers, distributors, importers and celebs alike. And then not forgetting the important business of tasting the wines of course, including classics like Cabalié and The Black Stump Durif Shiraz but also a number of the fine wines and more unusual varieties and countries that were there. This festival is arguably the best I have ever been to and is open for everyone. You may…
Waitrose Cellar’s Bestsellers – Save 25%!
What better time to look at Waitrose Cellar’s top of the range wines than when they have our favourite 25% off when you buy 6 offer running. For those of you wondering which shops have 25% off wine, there is honestly little need to look further than Waitrose. Check out my recommendations and indulge in a cheeky saving for the Bank Holiday. Some of you might be looking forward to the half term too and a brief break in the school runs. That means longer lie ins and longer nights to crack open…
Definition by Majestic – defining the status quo
Definition was launched by Majestic back in 2015, quite recently after I had joined the company in the Shepherd’s Bush store. The idea was to make it easy for customers to find and identify some of the world’s most classic styles - by region, country, grape and even blend. In many ways they were great introductory wines, affordable and guiding for customers to try something new and then expand out into the wider Majestic range if they liked it. They also suited those familiar with the styles…
Wine52’s Spanish Splash – Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla-La Mancha is a large region, in fact the largest wine-producing region in the World, just South-East of Madrid and subject to an extreme continental climate, meaning very hot Summers (+45 Celsius) and very cold Winters (-20 Celsius). The region has some impressive winemaking pedigree as it can boast 18 of Spain’s Vinos de Pago, small wine estates that have seriously high reputations in the wine world. It also houses many regional wines that cover Spanish grapes and international…
Cellar Rats – Drink Less, Drink Better
Quite simply sign up to receive their monthly cases and get yourself started on a new wine journey. There are flexible payment options, customisable cases and they’ll keep tinkering the cases each month based on feedback to perfect your wines. And don’t worry if you find that one wine you absolutely love, you can get it again as a full bottle from them and stock up on the good stuff with their member’s rates. You can tell a lot of love goes into evoking the feeling of an old but grand wine…
Wine52’s Gaucho Extravaganza
As with every month, my latest installment of Wine52 arrived, sporting 4 wines from San Juan in Argentina. It lies in the shadow of the Andes just North of Mendoza, the region that likely single-handedly brought you a love for Malbec. The Andes meltwater provides excellent irrigation for the vineyards although climate change has caused this to become more of a concern and growers are having to use water more sustainably. The common practice is to dig channels in the vineyards and literally flood…
Jim Barry – An Aussie icon
When you hear about Australian wines there are a few names that should come to mind: Penfolds, Yellow Tail, Wolf Blass, Peter Lehmann and Jim Barry. Jim Barry helped shape the world-famous Clare Valley as a Riesling powerhouse and one of Australia’s greatest wine regions. He was in fact the first qualified winemaker to work in the entire region, taking a job as winemaker and chemist at Clarevale Cooperative soon after graduating in 1946. It wasn’t until 1959 that Jim and his wife bought their…
Apothic – Wines with history
As a Classicist and wine aficionado, this brand appeals for two reasons. Firstly, the Classicist in me likes the name for its Greek origin (Everywhere I saw seems to think it's Latin, which isn't wrong, but go back further). "Apothece", meaning warehouse, harks to the origin and rustic nature of winemaking. Picture barrels upon barrels in large, dark storehouses where early winemakers began tinkering with blends and maturation. It’s also linked to apothecaries, again evoking this image of…
Alcohol Free: Better Late than never
This title is very much a self-confession of over-indulging but making a conscious effort to combat that, finally. When you’re in the wine business, it’s rather difficult to cut down on drinking as you feel you have to try as much as possible to keep up to date and your taste buds sharp. However, as we all know, the alcohol-free industry has been making great strides towards creating drinks that give the right sense, mood and tone that come with having an 18+ drink just without the 18+ element…
Weddings & Wine: The Favours
In my last article I covered the major events of the day (Reception, Meal and Toast), however there is one other important aspect of the day to weave in here, which is of course (if the title wasn’t obvious enough) the wedding favours. Wedding favours are one of those things which seem difficult to decide on and you sometimes wonder if they are even worth it - I’ve seen more than one wedding where the favours are simply left by the grateful guests at the end. One favour you can guarantee will be…
The Easter Waitrose Sale – Buy 6, Save 25%
The sale you know and love is back with 25% off across their wine range. Waitrose is widely said to have the best wine selection around and a recent article from Harpers might just confirm this further (for those with a subscription). So yes, other supermarkets can and do run this sort of wine offer as well, but if you are looking for a selection of really genuinely good wine at a bargain as opposed to the usual Villa Maria’s and Oyster Bay’s, then Waitrose is the place to shop. I’ve selected a…
Why you should choose Naked Wines this Easter
The biggest pull you might think is the £75 Naked Wines Voucher we have for Wine Genie, and yes, that floats my proverbial wine-faring boat as well, but it wouldn’t amount to much if the wine case wasn’t any good. Fortunately, Naked aren’t exactly known for their ”bad” wines, quite the opposite! Naked champion the individual producer and support them through their Angels programme to help make wines with passion, feeling, provenance and flavour. As a testament to this, I’ve gone through a case…
Weddings & Wine: The Key Events
These days, much like everything, weddings have a habit of racking up a nasty bill. Many will be wondering how you can keep wedding costs down, but, the simple truth is that it can be tricky, particularly where food and drink are concerned. I’ve spent a bit of time discussing and leading wine tastings during my days at Majestic Wine so have a good idea of how to manage wine choices, food pairings and head count to bottle ratios on a budget (half a bottle per person is about right). Not to…
