A quick scan through the special offers reveals a couple of goodies:
Farr are doing Delaforce '00 for £170/dozen (+VAT = £199.75), but it looks like you need to spend a minimum of £300 to get the sale prices... :?
Berrys are doing a dozen Smith Woodhouse '94 for £225 Inc VAT - no strings and delivered free. Well reviewed by Broadbent. This looks like a very good deal - a better price than I would expect at auction.
I bought a dozen this morning - they say they have about ten cases left, so don't leave it too long...
Berrys sale tel is 0870 900 4300

Thanks for the heads up Tom. I bought a case in bond for £168 which as you say equates to £18.75 a bottle all taxes paid. :)
I bought a case of SW94 in halves a couple of years ago and paid £220 in bond which I was pretty pleased with at the time, so today's price is a steal. This is really lovely wine and I would recommend anyone in the UK reading this gives Berrys a call right now. Email me for a TN.
Thanks again Tom.

Note also that Berry's are offering Quinta do Noval 20yr Tawny (under their own "William Pickering" label) at £18.95 a bottle including VAT for unsplit orders of six. Again, a very good deal.

Its funny, but the deal from Berry's that really caught my eye was the Berry's Own Label LBV - this is a QdN traditional LBV at less that £10 per bottle.
I've found the wine that I can bury in my back garden for 30 years!

It always hurts when someone mention words "free delivery" - in this case it means 70£ (one case's delivery to Finland). One can forget those LBV bargains..

Thats a lot of money in shipping for a case.

I agree. I just asked about the delivery charges from Berrys and this was the answer.

I was quoted £30 for shipping a case from Denmark

Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly to England from Denmark, collect the wine and put it in the hold of the plane and then fly back?
I wonder what the cheapest flight from Denmark to London would be?
Dow's 1991

While I will gladly admit to being the manager of one of the stores, Luvians Bottleshop in Fife, are doing Dow's 1991 for £360 per case of 12 bottles. It will cost £15 to deliver in the UK.
Just for the record, I don't make any commission nor do I own the business, so my posting is only to let port fans know of this offer. If you fancy some (5 cases available), contact me on 01334 654 820.
