I joined the Bordeaux collection subscription and received my first case. At present I have mixed feelings. I've tried each of the selection and am not entirely convinced these wines are not quite as... See more

Avery's may not have the weird and wonderful experimental type wines you sometimes see. But they do tend to have good, and good value, 'classic' wines. A good red for barbecue season, an all-purpos... See more

Ordering on-line was a very simple and quick experience. A specified date for delivery at no extra cost was a bonus and that worked well too. Several of the wines I've enjoyed before and there are o... See more

Good selection of wine at reasonable…

Good selection of wine at reasonable prices but unfortunately one bottle broke open being lifted from the packaging and spilled all over our carpet. Still cleaning up the mess as it was a bottle of red!

Hi Graham,

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm sorry to hear this has happened.

What I have done is escalated this to our managers who will be in touch with you. In the meantime if you could take some pictures of the mess and send it to escalations@directwines.com

Thanks
Scott

New wine notification appreciated

Received a note from Averys on some new and different wines, checked them out and selected six to build an order of favourites. Easy order, swift reliable order from Yodel. Very happy with how Averys keep me informed to help widen my choices.

Buying is an easy process

I have been a regular customer for many years and have a nice relationship with Richard, my Wine Advisor. He knows what I like and buying is an easy process.

Great personal service from a big company!

I’ve heard it said that employees don’t leave companies, they leave bad managers!

Equally I’ve also heard it said that people buy from people.

Let’s start by saying that Averys is a great company, I’ve met many of the staff when I attended wine tastings in Bristol but my overall experience is enhanced by the very personal service I receive from Charlie!

After several years he now knows my preferences and I can be sure, when he recommends a wine, it will be something I will enjoy.

Equally, when I enquire about a wine I have yet to experience, I’ll get an honest assessment.
