FromVineyardsDirect

I have only discovered FromVineyardsDirect recently but am very impressed by both the quality on offer and the efficiency of fulfilling orders.

I was introduced to the company as I subscribe to The Spectator. I got one of their mixed case offers and will be re-ordering another. I live within 200 yards of Majestic but find their selections confusing and dominated by 'savings' and the feeling that the staff are incentivised to push them. I am not influenced by what I can 'save' but whether I will want to buy more of the wine recommended. I will be a regular with Vineyard Direct until I get too many bad suggestions. But - so far so good.

Used to be a great company but they went into administration and were purchased by Johnny Wheeler. This enabled Esme Johnson and David Campbell(founders) to save face by pretending they had merged with Mr Wheeler Wines. The reality is they went into administration and Mr Wheeler purchased the company through an asset purchase taking the name, two founders, any stock and most of the customers over. Anyone who was a creditor, which included loyal customer due En-Primeur wines, were left in the cold. There was some attempt to get some of the wines to customers and I received some of it but by no means all. Clearly money paid in good faith for them had not been protected and had been used to keep the struggling business afloat. Paypal insurance covered a bit but I am till due over 1000 of en primeur wines. Recent attempts to get an answer from them have been ignored and obviously the administrators dont care about the smaller creditors. I am particularly annoyed because their website claimed that all en-primeur purchases were insured and they were not, a blatant lie on their part. If you look at the current website the same claim is made with the same wording and you can be sure that any en-primeur you order will not be covered. I thought they were good guys and a great little niche company but when it came to the crunch they were quite happy to shaft their best customers. Go elsewhere, especially if buying en-primeur.
