Countdown to Christmas and 2015!

The ITC Catterick Officers’ Mess kicked off the celebrations this weekend and it was great to provide wines for their Ball.  Our Festive Selection flier has gone out to our existing customers.  New customers, please phone/email for one.  Please order by 15th Dec and let us help you celebrate in style.  Enjoy!

The Value of the Wine in your Glass.

Paying £5 for your regular tipple? Then only 4% of that equates to the wine! Spend £10 and that jumps to 29% as the duty per bottle is fixed and taxed.  With a broad range of quality wines from £7, let Military Wines expand your wine horizon and future enjoyment.  Source:  Hatch Mansfield

Lovely English Fizz with a Military History.

Having recently tasted a lovely English Sparkling Wine from a vineyard originally planted by a Major General in the 1950s, I look forward to introducing it to you soon.  With the Champagne House Pol Roger providing advice over the years too, you can be sure of a rewarding tipple.

50th Birthday Garden Party Tasting.

Champagne and 5 other wines all round over the weekend to help one of 15 Brigade’s Officers celebrate her Hubby’s 50th Birthday with friends.  Thanks for your superb enthusiasm and I am glad that we won you over on the benefits of spending £7+ per bottle.  Happy Birthday!

MEL a Tasting on Annual Camp!

Why not make the most of having so many of your Mess members together on Annual Camp by scheduling a superb wine tasting evening.  Follow Sheffield UOTC’s example and spot some great wines for future events.  They bagged two to serve by the glass behind the bar too.

Let the Summer Balls Begin!

The Summer Ball season has started in style with our wines being enjoyed at a superb Officer Training Corps Great Gatsby event.  Go on Old Sport, give us a call on 07730 431968 and let Military Wines remove the hassle by recommending and supplying the wines to help make your Ball really special.

Queen’s Cup Fizz!

Congratulations to Capt King of Wales UOTC for being the first person to be seen with a Military Wines umbrella on display at the Queen’s Cup tournament held at Sandhurst this weekend.  Enjoy the bottle of Nyetimber fizz, a lovely English sparkling wine beating many Champagnes in blind tastings.

New Baby … Congratulations!

Congratulations to Clare and Geoff (ex Army and RAF CCF Instructors) on the recent arrival of their beautiful daughter.  It was a real pleasure to provide the Champagne to help you celebrate her arrival with family and friends.

Thistles, Daffodils, Shamrocks and Rosés.

Patron Saint dinners give us another opportunity to recommend different grape varieties from our range to broaden your appreciation of wine.  With St David’s and St Patrick’s behind us, we are now taking orders for St George’s.  It doesn’t have to be a rosé!

Congratulations on PRACTAC Pass-out.

Congratulations to all those University Officer Training Regiment/Corps Officer Cadets who passed their PRACTAC exam recently.  Glad that our wines were able to help you celebrate in style at your MOD2 dinners.  Best of luck to those going on to Main Board, MOD3 and Sandhurst.
