Hi Troy
Definitely join Virgin. The opening offers are great. The auction site is quite good and occasionally yields a bargain. The wine bank adds one monthly subscription every 3 months - so for example, I pay £20 per month and that gets me £80 per quarter to spend.
The general mixed cases are probably no better than the STWC/Laithwaites but if you choose your own bottles at the £5 to £10 level you will find much better wines than the cheap cases. And if you take the wine bank thing into account they are cheaper than they look.
Good luck!

Hi,
I’m feeling a bit tempted by a Virgin Wines joining offer and their winebank thing looks pretty good - I think you’ve mentioned it. I can tell you’re not averse to the odd wine club, so what’s your opinion of this one?
In the past Laithwaites left boxes in my garage on a regular basis until I began to find their selections a bit samey and got bored. That was about 3 years ago but that’s my wine club yardstick.
Enjoy the confessions and looking forward to a bit more of the lads’ trip to Fuengirola…
Cheers!
