So, I have a vague flicker of a memory of a drink I had over 2 years ago. I google it and it sends me winging to the drinksdirect website and the bottle is there in front of me. At 9.25am on a tuesday morning I place my order. Get the usual blah emails of "thankyou's" and "order placed", the following morning (wednesday) I get a "we have despatched your item". Now when you get this email, you know that you have a day or two to wait for delivery. Ha, not the case with drinksdirect. 10.27am the doorbell goes. Yup you guessed it, my Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea is in that delivery lady's hand... I could have kissed her. With an outstanding delivery service like this and vast "library" of tipples I would highly recommend drinksdirect. Keep up the good work

The first time I used them, I ordered after lunch on a Wednesday, and the delivery was there by lunchtime the next day. Everything was packed to protect the bottles, and we enjoyed a bottle of the wine tha night. The wine is so good that I turned round and ordered another dozen, as the price was very reasonable for the quality of the wine. Again the wine turned up promptly. I enjoy the fact that you get a direct link to the delivery company, so that you can see the progress of the delivery. Checking out the website is a joy. So many wines and spirits to choose from. I will even be going through the Single Malts as my husband enjoys Isla whiskeys and I'll be able to find one he hasn't tried as a surprise. If you ned something special that should be your first port of call, as it will most probably save you masses of time trying to find something in particular.
