There's some serious wines there, I haven't seen any real bargains at the lower end yet.
Non-members can buy online but you pay an extra 5% at checkout.
Anyone running a business can soon become a member, after that, friends may become employees

There are some good middle rank deals in the France section.
Albert Bichot - Pouilly Fuisse 2010 is a 8.5/10 vintage, I'd prefer the '09 but at £10.48 a bottle it cuts dear ole Tony Laithwaite down a peg or two.
There is a 2009 St Emilion GC at £10.48 - a top right bank vintage.
The Potel 2010 Gevrey Chambertin at £16.66 is a jolly good deal, and will also have the Sunday Times wine club smarting ! Agian a 9/10 vintage
The William Fevre chablis wines were also good value versus most other supermarkets and wine clubs - good vintages for all the chablis, if I remember.
I thought the Chateau Gloria 2009 at nearly £35 was strong money, I last bought at £18 for the 1998. Gloria is very nice and its been hiked-up in recent years (cos it's nice). The Cru classe clarets were / are clearly aimed for deep pockets on the business account.
