Just ordered some of this on the back of an email from Virgin wines. I've had many a case of excellent but cheap wine thanks to their newsletter service:

A winemakers dream, a buyers dream, an accountant's nightmare.

As you know, we love a bargain as much as the next chap. So when we heard that we could get our hands on the new 2006 La Testa, at a ridiculously low price, we jumped straight on the plane with our chequebook in hand.

The winery behind La Testa invested bucket loads of money in the best equipment, the best winemaker, the best land. The results have been mind-blowing with their top-drawer wines selling for £20+ a bottle. Unfortunately, they didn't have the slightest idea of how to sell it all and went bust. Which is when we stepped in and snapped up their best stock.

Worth every penny.

La Testa is a fantastic buy at £20. At £5.99 it's like finding a diamond encrusted Cartier watch in the Church jumble sale.

Made with passion and dedication, this voluptuous wine has been matured to perfection in small oak barrels. The result is a seamless combination of powerful fruit, depth and complexity.

Act now.

If you're anything like us, you'll be going ga-ga over this offer. And so will everyone else! This really is the last stock ever to come out of this winery. So stock up now, before it's all gone. Hesitate and there'll be tears before bedtime.

The wines are coming up the Atlantic as we speak. So place your order now and we'll reserve your allocation. We'll send your wines out to you no later than 21st September. You'll be drinking your £5.99 La Testa bargain by the end of the month!

Hopefully this link should work:

If you don't like the wine, you can send it back for a full refund, and they'll replace it if it's left outside your house by the posty and robbed!

Great if you like your reds. Not so great if you don't. :)

:angry:*%&$%^£:angry:*&^$*&:angry:

I was all set to purchase earlier and then I got called away to discuss some pointless nonsense regarding work - now it's sold out :(

PANTS!!!!

Edit: Wonder why I didn't get the e-mail? They pester me for months after I buy one case of wine from them and then, when they have a cracking deal like this one - nothing :huh:

Not a big fan of Rosé - I wanted the full-bodied red.
