Wednesday Wines – Episode 65 – Breaking News from Waitrose

Episode 65 – 23^rd June 2021

WAITROSE BREAKING NEWS
25% off all wine and Champagne priced £5.00 and over at Waitrose & Partners

From today, Wednesday 23^rd June, to Tuesday 29^th June, Waitrose is offering 25% off all wine and Champagne priced £5.00 and over, when purchasing any six or more bottles.  The offer is available when shopping in branch, on www.waitrosecellar.com, or online at www.waitrose.com with a grocery delivery (the usual £40.00 online grocery minimum spend applies).

When taking advantage of the 25% offer on www.waitrosecellar.com, customers are able to mix their own case and cases can include six or more bottles of the same wine or a mixed selection.

Please note that this offer is not available in branches in Scotland, Wales or Jersey, motorway service stations, Welcome Break, petrol stations, or via Deliveroo.  There are a few more Ts & Cs on the press release I received, but I think you get the picture.

So here are 23 Waitrose wines (it is the 23^rd after all) which I think are particularly delicious right now!

If you would like to read full notes on every one of these bottles please see my 100 Best Summer Wines Special on this website – free to view for Friends & Members.  Not all stores have all of these wines, so my advice is to print this list out and then head down to your local store or jump on the internet and make up a six-pack (or more!) today.

All prices notes below are pre-discount, list prices.
