Dry January is over, so ‘wine’ not try a virtual tasting experience?

Vagabond Valentine’s Flight

‘Wine is proof that God loves us’ goes the old saying. And we all go giddy and gooey over good wine so the love is mutual. Here’s a fine pack of sweet nothings to caress your soulmate with. It’s what Cupid would’ve wanted we think.

Six wines covering a multitude of styles, because love comes in all shapes and sizes, right? Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the flight:

• Maria Bonita Vinho Verde because she was a part of a great outlaw love story in Brazil. Look it up.
• Mosel Riesling from Weingut Schmitges because it’s always pure of heart and, in this case, a bit of sweetie too.
• Chateau Grand Boise Provence rosé because soft pale pink says ‘I love you’
• An English Pinot Noir, the grape often described as the heartbreaker but here making us swoon.
• A South African Cabernet Franc because, err, Thistles and Weeds are a hard to separate.
• And finally, some sweet Hungarian loveliness in the form of Tokaji, a wine that has known times both richer and poorer.

The package is priced at £40 per flight / £90 for 2 flights including. a special bottle of Pet Not thrown in for just £10, plus UK delivery. Vagabond recommend enjoying these flights within 2 weeks of delivery. All Valentine’s Flights will be despatched on 12^th February for delivery on 13^th/14^th February. Buy your wine flight here.
