The Secret Sommelier has been touted as the UK’s most popular wine blog… I beg to differ… but a tie up with Sainsbury’s – the site is heavily linked with Sainsbury’s – has the site offering a weekend for 2 wine tasting in Bordeaux. ‘Lesser’ prizes in the competition are mixed tasting cases of Bordeaux and sets of Crystal Bordeaux wine tasting glasses.
The wine tasting will be at the Ecole du Vin in Bordeaux while the wines come from Sainbury’s. One of the sixty gift boxes up for grabs contain two crystal Bordeaux wine glasses made by Schott Zwiesel.
To win you have to enter as many friends email addresses as possible, one of the worst types of online competitions imaginable. It’s a way of gethering email addresses pure and simple – are your friends likely to remain so if you are responsible for more email crap ending up in their inbox?
I entered for a chance to win specifically because I read that entering friends is not signing them for anything. Don’t be too cynical my dear friend.
