Rebellab Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Wine Shippers called me and I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. They don't have very many wines on their website, but Peter L. told me that they have many more. They also garuntee their wines. If they select 6 wines for you, and you don't like one of them they will replace it with another. He wants to send me 6 for $120 delievered to the my house with no other obligation.

wiegie Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 $24 for a generic French Cabernet makes me very skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Honestly, seems like a rip-off. I'm basing this on seeing a village level White Burgundy from a non-prestigious area going for $35 and CA Zin that should cost about $15 going for $33. Considering the mail order wine business is insanely competitive, this makes no sense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Sacrebleu Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 All of 18 french wines?!?! And only a handful are AOCs. You got to work hard to get a vin de pays in the 25$ range. Sounds like a major rip off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellab Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Kinda my feeling. I think I am going to tell him thanks, but don't call me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it costs more to have wines shipped but there are so many good even great wines you can get for easily under $20 it's IMO a rip-off to do so. Hell Boones Farm is still only about $2.98.
