Entries are now closed for the wine summerswap!!
Id like to thank everyone who has joined in.
Double figures is a good start for the wine swap and gives us a starting point to build upon for the next swap, which following some feedback/consultation from all you swappers will be either autumn or christmas.
I will add a tasting notes thread which hopefully the mods will make a sticky as they have with this one; for all of your feedback - over the next few days in antisipation.
High fives go to alanywiseman for balancing his honeymoon with the administration and his hard work.
Cheers :

Thanks to all who have entered. We have 10 swapper in total. I will be getting in touch with you all in the next couple of days with a number to put on your bottle and a postal address for you. I think the plan is to have all bottles posted by the 14th so I will do this as quick as possible.
If you have decided to change the bottle you are going to post then please get in touch today and let me know, otherwise it is all go. :thumb:

All addresses have been sent. So it is now over to you :thumb:
If you registered and did not get an email this morning then let me know. There was a couple of people that I made a mistake with the bottle label number. If you are one of those people you will have recieved a second email with the correct number so please make sure to use the right one. Sorry for the mistake.

Got my email today. How are people sending their bottles? Glass or plastic?

Is everybody using a 500ml plastic bottle for posting? don't wish to appear stingey... I wouldn't trust the Post Office to send glass bottles after the mess they made of my last delivery of empty wine bottles.

That's what I'm thinking of using! I only sent my xmas one off in a glass bottle as work were kind enough to send me a bottle of champagne for xmas so I just reused that packaging. In case you're wondering the champagne was horrible, mainly because I don't like the stuff, a nice sparkling wine or cava would have been nicer :thumb:

Sent mine out on Saturday. I re-used the packaging that I recieved in the secret santa swap so no issue with breakage.
