LAST UPDATED – 22/07/2020

I’ll be updating this list weekly or as I get new info – there may not be too many promotions on offer now here, but there are pre-orders, where you can purchase your wine and other alcohol for delivery after the ban is lifted.  Not only is this a way of supporting your favourite brand or winery, it’s a way of stocking up your cellar and bar while you can.  Let’s all stand together and try and help our alcohol industry!

FIRST OFF – if you’re KZN-based, I highly recommend contacting Kelsey from Meander Fine Wines – you can check out her Instagram page on @paintthetownwine or contact her on kelseybfisher@outlook.com or 0828571483.  She has a wonderful selection of wines on offer, in a really great variety of prices, PLUS she gives the best advice on what to try based on your taste!  I’ve just placed an order with her myself. (P.S. contact her for info on pre-sales on wines she represents)

If you’re from elsewhere in the country, or you’d like to see what else is on offer, then let’s get into where we can get our hands on our tipple of choice (perhaps with a sneaky discount).  If you know of any other great deals, let me know and I’ll update this page: –
