GOOD DEAL: Get a Virgin Wines advent calendar for just 12,500 Virgin Points

If you haven’t stocked up on wine yet for Christmas, Virgin Wines has launched a generous offer for anyone with 12,500 Virgin Points to spare.

You can order a Virgin Wines advent calendar, containing a mini bottle of wine PER DAY and a full bottle for Christmas Day itself, for just 12,500 Virgin Points including delivery.

There are three different advent calendars on offer:

Mixed Wine Advent Calendar – 12,500 Virgin Points   

• 24 x 187ml bottles of red, white and rosé wine  
• 1 x full size bottle for Christmas Day!

Red Wine Advent Calendar – 12,500 Virgin Points  

• 24 x 187ml bottles of red wine 
• 1 x full size bottle for Christmas Day!

White Wine Advent Calendar – 12,500 Virgin Points  

• 24 x 187ml bottles of white wine  
• 1 x full size bottle for Christmas Day!

These advent calendars cost £98 including delivery if you pay cash (you can buy here for cash if you don’t have 12,500 Virgin Points) which means that you are getting 0.8p per Virgin Point. This is substantially better than the 0.5p you get from most Virgin Red redemptions and close to what you would receive for a flight reward.

To order, you need to download and register with the Virgin Red app, link your account to your Virgin Flying Club account and then order via the app or the website here.

Standard delivery is within three working days for orders placed by 4pm.

You can find out more about what’s in each case via the Virgin Wines website here but you need to buy via Virgin Red if you are using points.
