New wine deal – 15 bottles and 1,000 Avios for £52
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
The British Airways Wine Explorer club, run by Laithwaite’s, has launched a new deal.
In the absence of any good Tesco Wine deals this year, it is worth a look.
It is a pretty good package. You receive:
A 12-bottle wine case, chosen from seven options
3 free bottles of rioja worth £36
1,000 Avios points (250 Avios points if you are an existing Laithwaite’s customer)
Free delivery
….. for a total cost of £52 to £58 depending on which package you choose.
Full details and the order form are here.
There is one snag you need to deal with.
By ordering, you are signing yourself up to Laithwaite’s Wine Plan. Every 8-12 weeks they will automatically send you another 12-bottle wine case. It is very easy to stop this happening – simply give Laithwaite’s a call to cancel your Wine Plan membership, there is no penalty – but you must trust yourself to remember.
The offer runs until 30th June.
