lWhen you see a wine on "special" and it is one you like, go for it. There is nothing wrong with wines on special offer. The retailer might simply be clearing stock or the wine was offered to him at a discount.

lTry our Oddbins wines - you will be pleasantly surprised.

lWine is a fascinating and venerable topic. Read what others have to say about our wines and see whether you can discover all the tastes and smells they describe for yourself. It is a most rewarding experience.
