I've a number of worksources that I won't be able to see before Christmas and I was hoping that I could arrange to send them a Christmas drink, before Santa comes.

Does anybody know any reliable online shops that do delivery to multiple locations?

Not 100% about multiple locations but I use virgin wines and the product has been excellent

Fair enough, but I'll take a track day and a bottle of plonk while the gine cools down over a £150 bottle any day

Majestic Wine Merchants are normally ok.

Used them on several occasions.

I have used Waitrose on 3 occassions, 2 of which were in the last week. The service was very prompt.

I've used Majestic for 20 years (knew the founders). Excellent company with very knowledgable staff and good deals.

Don't know if they can deliver before Xmas, but Valvona & Crolla are one of the best on the planet www.valvonacrolla.co.uk . Smallish shop with hooooge reputation (supply to HRH!). If they say that can deliver - they will. And being a shop they're not faceless - you can drop them a mail, call them up or drop in (if you're ever in the area).

Edited - just checked, order by Saturday 17th and it'll be there for Xmas...

Have you tried ringing the branch closest to where you want the items to go?

Thanks Guys, I've placed the order on www.lastorders.com, quite a simple, easy website that was exactly what I was looking for.

Somebody will tell me now that it's a dodgy outfit.

Thanks ever so much for the suggestions, Guys, it's much appreciated.

FWIW, to those interested, last ordering day for lastorders.com is the 20th December.

edited: for spelling.
