The Flying Corkscrew is Moving
In a few weeks time we will be moving to new premises nearby on the Gaddesden Estate. Unfortunately we will no longer have facilities for 'casual' shoppers but collection of pre-ordered wines will be possible. We will also be offering a free local delivery service on orders of £50 or more
. There will be a number of ways of buying.
1. By telephone, when you can discuss your requirements with us and we can send the order directly. Our telephone number will remain the same - 01442 412311
2. From our website. We will be launching our new website in the next few weeks which will contain the same fantastic range of wines we stocked in the shop, and where you will be able to create a 'basket' of wines for either delivery or collection.
3. By e-mail - simply e-mail us your order and we will contact you by return.
4. By signing up for our monthly 'Discovery' cases which will contain a range of wines based around a country, producer, grape variety or style. The first of these will be e-mailed out shortly.
5. We will also be restarting our tasting programme and winemakers dinners at venues and dates to be announced, so watch this space.
In the meantime we are clearing all our stock, with 25% off all beers, wines and spirits and 35% off all accessories, glassware, gift packaging, chocolates etc. This is while stock lasts and for collection only and the past week has seem some sections empty quite quickly. So if you want to bag yourself a bargain before the move act fast!
Many thanks for your support over the past 8 years and we look forward to many more years of support from you in our new format.
