WINES DIRECT

The experience & expertise of the staff in advising & suggesting wines was second to none. As mother of the groom who lives abroad & knowing that a lot of guests were traveling from Australia for the wedding it was a huge responsibility. The feedback from the guests was amazing. Choices were in reds- Malbec & Pinot Noir. Whites were an Australian reisling & a French Sauvignon Blanc. Many guests asked about the wines & in turn maybe future customers.

We used Wines Direct for our wedding in Borris House in August. Trevor was so easy to deal with and went through so many options for us. We did a tasting a few weeks before the wedding so we could narrow down what we wanted and Trevor expertly walked us through each wine, and the pros and cons of each for our wedding. Everyone loved the wine and prosecco we served them and luckily we still have some left over for us to make our way through.

Very helpful service. Trevor from the Mullingar branch selected a range of wines for us to taste and we were so pleased with our final choice. We ended up with equal numbers of white and red but it being a winter wedding the red almost ran out. We both loved the red, so after the wedding we returned a fair bit of the white wine and swapped it for our favourite red; just in time for Christmas! The delivery service was very efficient; we just supplied Wines Direct with the date, address and number of the venue and they did the rest. They also supplied us with a beautiful Prosecco frizzante for the reception, which was just bubbly enough and very well received.

Service and experience here was fantastic from start to finish. We were not fond of the wine on offer in our hotel and decided to look at options of bringing our own. We had a tasting afternoon with Una who couldn't do enough to help us and suit our tastes and budget. People actually commented on the nice wine after the wedding. They make is very easy as they arrange delivery and can return any unused if required. We hadn't much leftover which was a good sign and kept it for Christmas. It worked out (with corkage the hotel were charging us) only a little bit more expensive than wine package offered at the hotel, but with wines we had chosen. It's a great experience in itself where you're provided with all the information of the vineyards and their relationship with the supplier, it's a lovely personal touch. Thanks Winesdirect and Una especially
