Looks like the 25% off is on for the next 7 days. May treat myself and get some of those Riojas.

I decided not to this time, then thought yeah then saw most stuff out of stock...

I managed to get 3 of the 6 you suggested and then made it up to a case with a few other favourites. Tondonia was out of stock, went back on after delivery to check something and Tondonia was back in

Aye, they went out of stock on basically anything i'd go for which with the prices of some it's not a surprise.

Anyone use naked wines?

Got a good introductory offer. £75 off a case. So a £120 or so case was about £50

12 wines. First two were bloody fantastic

Got a sent a case of mixed red from them as a birthday present recently - not a comment on their quality generally but I'd say the range of what I got was bang average (I haven't opened the French Cabernet yet). Not bad at all, just nothing I'd note down to get again.

first two for me were good anyway

10 left. if it works out i could see me using them more

also waiting for tesco to do their offers again

3 times between haloween and christmas they did 25% off 6 bottles or more and even before that some wines were way down in price

beef steak club was normally £8, it went down to 6 and with 25% off you saved loads

they havent done it since christmas though

I do. Hated them early on mainly because of their cheesy marketing, and I still object to how they price things and express the "discount" but I have to say overall their wines are decent.

Case in point: Had one of theirs at the weekend, it was a Sauvignon blanc / Verdejo blend and then followed that with a Waitrose sauvignon Blanc. The difference was incredible. I know the was a difference in grapes, but the NW had depth, the Waitrose one was bland.
While there's some good supermarket wine, there's also a lot of crap that gets sold on brand, on offer, gets bought because it's fashionable. The NW stuff is a bit different in a good way.

M&S do the same offer (maybe only twice a year though) and they've some cracking wines.

Beef Steak Club is a favourite of my missus' so we always get a couple of bottles when on offer. She could also endlessly drink Jammy Red so we get a few bottles for her when it's on offer. It's a bit sweet for my tastes but extremely accessible for those just getting into their wines.

I must confess I know very little but am learning more and finding out what I like most (mainly Northern Italian reds and South American Reds - a colleague got me a bottle of Amarone Classico Forte for Christmas, that was one of the best wines I've ever had).

Asda at min with me doing the previously mentioned 25% off 6 bottles or more deal

I usually buy around 18 bottles when the deal comes in.

Should have a nice winter stash as am planning to stay off the booze for a month. plus come christmas my naked wines account will have about £100 so i should get a case of wine for that.

A very very belated bump!

I say that because I've just started up a new wine business having left my old employer. Therefore a shameless plug.

In saying that, always forget how much I enjoyed this thread.

I know this is probably sacrilege on here, but anyone recommend a ‘nice’ non alcohol wine? Seen a couple of German whites knocking about but want to know what the best/closest to a wine taste brand there is. If there is one. Or is it all shite. Sorry.
