Hello all

A lot of the Virgin Wines creative on the Buy.At programme is quite out of date. I really sorry if this has put you off using us.

But, the good news is that I'm updating everything next week. Going forward, there will be a choice of 5 or 6 banner sizes reflecting a different promotion or offer every 2 weeks. We want to keep things exciting and fresh for you. We'll still have the usual 1/2 price, Free Delivery and 6 Free offers but we'll also be adding in some far more interesting promotions.

We'll start next week with our 'Change 4 Lives' campaign. There are 4 winemakers in South Africa who currently work for a big winery. They've been making their own (fantastic!) wine and want to set out on their own. Basically they need a bit of help getting the cash together to finish bottling this year's vintage. Buying a £10 gift will mean the winemakers can finish their wine and ship it over here to sell. Any one who buys a gift gets first dibs on the new wine, and will save £20 a case!

Other new initiatives including 'Happy Hour' and 'Name Your Price'. We've also just bought in our first Fairtrade range of wines which we'll feature on the affiliate programmes soon.

If anyone has any comments or ideas you'd like to share with me please don't be shy.

Many thanks
Katie Hopkins
