Fly free UK-US - Gallo Wines promotion
There is currently a promotion on in the UK for free flights to the US
if you buy six bottles of the Turning Leaf wines from Gallo via the Thresher's group of wine stores inc. Victoria wines, Wine Rack, Huttons etc. Airport tax still has to be paid though. There was a hiccup last week when there was a recall as some bottles were found to have glass particles in them (cynics might say that the promotion is too popular!) *but* one acquaintance has still been able to buy the bottles from Victoria Wines. The promotion is this (was advertised in "Daily Mail" etc. - so tell your family/friends in the UK: Buy a case of six Gallo Turning Leaf Sauvignon Blanc wine bottles (approx 35.04 GBP). No idea if this stuff is nice to drink! Purchase by 15th Sept. Must send in applications by Oct 1st. Free *return* flights to: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta. Other cities eg. San Fran or LA is an extra 60 GBP. Offer is one per household (but could register for extra tickets at a friend's or neighbour's address I guess). Promotion excludes travel in August, first two weeks of September and 15 December to 5th January. Wine stores in Threshers group: see http://www.threshers.co.uk The recall notice for some of the bottles with certain ref nos. is here (but you can scout around to find the ok ones in some of the stores): http://www.ukrecallnotice.co.uk/Food/ernest240704.htm -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

I scored two cases at Sainsbury tonight.
Even better, they were reduced from £37.99 to £24.99. Now I know I can watch the Superbowl next year on home soil and not sitting up in the UK until 4am. -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

Errr.... Didn't the post say via Threshers? Or can you get it from anywhere? -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

The only down side of the promotion is that it seems almost impossible to get two cheap tickets on the same flight because of the "one per household" rule and that you have to give them three choices of dates and three choices of destination. I'm not fussy where I watch the Superbowl as long as it isn't in the UK in the middle of the night, and I reckon I can recoup the cost of the airport tax by punting my duty free fags when I get back. -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |
