Earn 2,000 Avios with a £54 six bottle wine offer

We haven’t mentioned The Wine Flyer, the British Airways / Laithwaites wine business, for a while, but a decent offer has popped up this week for new customers.
£54, which includes delivery, gets you six bottles of red wine, 2000 Avios and two tumblers. You can’t argue with that.
There is no on-going commitment of any sort.
What is the Wine Flyer offer?
Wine Flyer is the trading name for the Laithwaites arm which offers Avios.
The latest offer is decent value. Note, however, that you must be a new customer to Laithwaites / Wine Flyer. This may, although it isn’t clear, include any wine you ordered via The Sunday Times Wine Club or any of the other Laithwaites co-brand schemes.
The Wine Flyer package costs £53.94 including delivery.
You receive the wine in the picture above, which is two bottles each of a “barrel-aged Rioja, luxury Aussie Shiraz and a dark, juicy original from Argentina”.
In total you get:
- a six-bottle mixed case of red wine
- two Dartington tumblers
- free delivery within three working days
- 2,000 Avios
You are not signing up for any club or subscription service. It is a one-off deal.
If you value the 2,000 Avios at £20, and you put no value on the tumblers (although Dartington products are generally good quality), you are paying £5.66 per bottle. You can’t really argue about value for money on that basis.
You can order on the Wine Flyer website here. The offer runs to 30th June.
