I would say that it's quite a good way of getting a reasonable range of reasonably good, reasonably priced wine without having to think about it. I used to get those sorts of boxes; these days I prefer to buy the wine I actually want, rather than the wine some-one else wants to give me, but since you don't drink this probably doesn't apply to you. You could do far worse.

That seems pretty good value. I'll happily buy half of it off you if that helps the decision :)

It seems like a con to me I saw the Arabella CS 2009 for 3.05 quid elsewhere. Mick
