Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and thank you to all our customers who have enjoyed and learned more about our wines at tastings and dinners throughout 2013.  Have a great time with family and friends over the next few weeks and I am sure that our wines will add to the occasions.  See you in 2014.

The Vinous Trinity!

What a great time of year to have fun with family and friends!  With the vinous trinity of Christmas, New Year and Burn’s Night all approaching, let Military Wines provide a lovely range of wines to help your party to celebrate in style.  Please have your orders in by 18th December and 15th January.  Enjoy!

Smooth Rioja and Fresh NZ Sauvignon Blanc in Yorkshire.

What a great evening with The Yorkshire Officers’ Training Regiment at their dinner in Leeds last weekend.  Glad you enjoyed the new Rioja, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.  Orders are being taken for all of the wines at the dinner (and across our range) so that you can enjoy them at Christmas and New Year too.

All Port and No Starboard at RMAS!

Congratulations to 40 Platoon, Falklands Company at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst for completing your first half-term.  Thank you for the invite to provide you with a 6 port and artisan cheese tasting to help you celebrate.  Best of luck for the remainder of the course and I look forward to the next event.

Be Seen and Be Drinking Champagne!

Our new Military Wines umbrellas are being given to customers.  Be the first to be seen with one up in wet/hot weather at a key military event and win a bottle of champagne, that will be delivered with your next order.

Lubricating more donations to SSAFA!

It was a pleasure to join forces with The Coldstream Guards Association to host a wine tasting in aid of SSAFA.  Great to have more dessert wine and premium port converts and thanks to the Royal Navy tasters for your invitations to run future tastings.  More giving to a good cause too.

Introducing the ‘£8 and Under’ Range.

For those less formal events where quality is important, but more quantity is required or there is a smaller budget, Military Wines is pleased to announce the introduction of a range of reds and whites to meet your needs. Give us a call to find out more about these gems.

Military Wines meets Military Wives!

Wonderful to hear the lovely voices of the Military Wives Choir (Dishforth) and the spectacular Drums of my own Battalion (3 Royal Anglian) in Harrogate at the weekend.  As a subsidiary charity of SSAFA, our 5% of profits donation this year may well help to support these superb choirs.

Market Report confirms that quality is winning over quantity.

A recent Wine & Spirit Trade Association Market Report indicates that the cheaper end of the wine market continues to show declines, whereas all price bands over £7 per bottle are showing double-digit growth.  With such a bewildering choice of quality wines available, let Military Wines advise you and provide a range of superb wines.
