Like all merchants, we offer discounted bin-ends from time to time ... but the discrete difference of ours is that we don't over-inflate the retail price in order to show you a massive saving - our bin-ends depict a genuine saving over the retail price for you, and are priced competitively to sell ! ...more

A fabulous wine on offer at the moment is the 2004 Barbera d'Asti - Monterosso - Castello di Montegrosso, reduced from £7.99 to £5.99   This single-vineyard grower has specifically asked us to help him clear his cellars, which are located in the Castle of Montegrosso d'Asti.

At Vin Vino Direct, we have an expansive range of pre-selected Mixed Cases for you to choose from;

• 'Organic' selection - these wines are produced from grapes which are cultivated without recourse to synthetic fungicides, herbicides or fertilisers. As we deal with small family growers, where high yields and excessive production are not a commercial factor, the majority of our wines are natural, however exigent consumers will benefit from the additional assurance of these officially eco-cert Organic wines...more
• 'Tasting' cases that span Old and New World - all sourced directly from our producers, and starting at £83.60 for 12 bottles ...more
• Wine rack essentials - 'Petit Châteaux' are very popular with our regular customers. Offering such a choice of excellent, great value Clarets is an asset to any discerning wine lover...more
• 'Colombier Classics' - as a negociant producer in Beaune, Colombier produces a comprehensive range of red and white wines from Burgundy. The whites show impressive fruit and complexity and typify the soul of the terroir, rarely seeing more than a few months in oak, followed by a light filtration. The reds are all fermented in oak with 100% new oak casks being used for all our Grand Cru's. The characteristics of the reds range from the typically elegant to extraordinarily robust...more
• Top 'Best Sellers' - voted for by our customers, these are wines of superb quality, origin, character and offer you excellent value for money...more

We recognise the importance of 'entry level' wines - they are the first impression by which the rest of our wines will be judged .... with this in mind, we have created a new Introductory mixed case that allows you to sample a broad spectrum of our producers wines.

Introductory Case Selection - Modern Wines with quality behind the label

From New World up to Old World wines, this case represents great choice, value for money and really delights without opening your finest bottles. From the Gold Medal winning 2002 Château la Fleur du Meyney, to the finest Pinot Grigio from Villa Rubini, the case contents have been carefully selected to introduce you to our expansive range of wines and vintages .....and the price, a Best Buy recommendation at just £69.99 for the 12 bottles shown above !

What better way to celebrate the Festive season than with a good flute of 'fizz' - at Vin Vino Direct, you can choose from over 30 Champagnes, starting at just £18 for our own Leblanc Colombier Cuvée Celeste.

We have a range of 12 Champagnes at under £30, with Grande Marque's such as Bollinger, Moët et Chandon, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin and Laurent Perrier priced to match high-street stores;  a '96 Leclerc Briant Cuvée Divine for just £37.80 that has beaten Dom Perignon in blind-tastings; and 13 vintage Champagnes to cater for every "palate and purse-string" ...more

Don't forget about Sparkling wines - often mistaken as a poor cousin to Champagnes, we have a complete range of red, pink, through to white sparklers for you to choose from.

The most elegant of sparkling wines is the Segura Viudas Gran Reserva Brut. This Spanish winery began producing in the late 19th Century and only marketed its wines from 1969, having now built up a highly acclaimed prestige brand, whose wines comfortably sit alongside the Grande Marque champagnes .. ..more
