Win fine wine for Valentine's Day

3:51pm Tuesday 5th February 2008


WHATEVER you're planning on Valentine's Day, there will - no doubt - be wine involved.

Fromvineyardsdirect.com is the ideal online wine emporium for anyone seriously interested in wine, and with an eye for a quality bargain.

The brainchild of David Campbell and Esme Johnstone, the online retailer represents the personal wine choices of the men behind France's leading wine guide Le Hachette Guide du Vin, and Majestic Wine Warehouse.

Offering an individual range of wines not found on the high street - and with prices substantially cheaper than usual merchant prices - they guarantee a safe pair of hands when it comes to trying something new.

The wines are unusual, quality choices from smaller producers who make limited volume fine wines.

Fromvineyardsdirect.com has teamed up with the Globe to offer one lucky reader the chance to win two of their most romantic wines, perfect for a Valentine's Day meal.

First is the divine Brut Rosé Champagne from the much respected Serge Mathieu house.

Serge Mathieu Brut Rosé Champagne is a beautifully made Pink Champagne that knocks spots off most of the Grand Cru Rosé Champagnes.

This is a strictly limited volume Champagne.

The prize also includes an absolute gem from the heart of Bordeaux.

The glorious Saint-Julien (pictured right) is from Bordeaux's legendary 2000 vintage.

This wine is from vines owned by one of St-Julien's super second' growths, a very high-class; mature Claret to fall in love with.

To round off the perfect Valentine's Day treat, we've included a copy of Love Letters from the Everyman's Library Pocket Collection.

The wines are part of the special Valentine's Day case sold by fromvineyardsdirect.com and for more information on this, and the other individual wines sold from vineyards direct, simply visit the website.

For a chance to win this delicious duo, simply answer the following question:

In what country is Champagne?

It couldn't be easier to enter - simply call 0901 151 0424 and leave your answer to the question, along with your name, address and daytime telephone number when prompted. Calls cost only 50p (calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more).

Lines close at midnight on Tuesday February 11 and we'll do our best to deliver the prize to the winner by Valentine's Day! Service provided by Newsquest Media Group.
