	Company: Virgin Wines Mole Member Offer: Quote Code = MOLE and Password = CHAMPAGNE when ordering for £20 off a crate of wine Blurb:   What is Virgin Wines for? And that is what Virgin Wines is all about - finding boutique quality hand crafted wines, for the same price as the wine flavoured, artificially sweetened goo, sold in supermarkets. As wine. I took the idea to Richard Branson 7 years ago. He was unconvinced. Until I gave him two wines to try. One was Cloudy Bay. The other was also a New Zealand Sauvignon, made right next door to Cloudy Bay and costing half the price. He did the deal the same day. So that is what we are here for - to find you boutique quality wines for the same price as supermarket plonk. Website: www.virginwines.com
