Wedding and Party ChampagneDo you know someone who is organising a wedding? Do them a favour and pass on the news about Boursot's Wine Collection, where the quality and real value of the wines are both guaranteed. And of course, where you can taste the wines before making up your mind. You are well advised to hop across to the pretty town of Ardres just 15 minutes south of Calais when you need to buy wines and champagne for a wedding or for a large party. So-called "special offers" in the UK still leave colossal savings to be had here in France of around £7 to £10 per bottle on Champagne - and that's before the savings of at least £2.50 on each bottle of still wine. The main difference is the amount of duty charged in the UK at around £1.50 per bottle before VAT, and there are also storage and distribution savings to be made by buying your wines in France. The average couple comes here, tastes several wines, has a great lunch, and returns with guaranteed quality red, white and bubbly at low French prices saving on average well over £1,000. It’s a wonderful day out – a welcome change from the rising pressures during the run up to the Great Day! By way of example, Boursot's is currently charging the equivalent (at €1,25 to the £) of £6.20 for its excellent Méthode Traditionnelle, £15.30 on its delicious Grand Cru champagne and £22.90 on Pol Roger - each of which would go down reliably well at a wedding. download the full list of wines HERE Your French wine purchase is not subject to the penal excise duty charged in the UK, and there are no restrictions on the amount you can take back, provided that the wines are for personal consumption and provided that you are travelling with your purchases. As a Boursot’s Wine Collection customer, until 31st March your special Day Return fare for a car and 5 passengers with SeaFrance will be £23 from Sundays to Fridays and £30 on Saturdays. To take advantage, you can get these special prices only by calling the Ferry Travel Club on 0870 264 2644 and by quoting our code “Boursot”. If you wish to come for longer, or to add accommodation to your package, do call that number and the helpful staff should be able to quote you a competitive all-in price. Also we are pleased to continue our Offer whereby if you spend more than 600 euros here, we will pay for your day return crossing. Please call or e-mail us to find out how to take advantage of this Offer. Just work it out for yourself – you know it makes sense!
Wedding List ServiceWine Consultants SARL is pleased to offer you its Wedding List Service in which couples can make a selection of wines from which their friends or guests can choose a suitable wedding present of a particular style or value. Initially Guy Boursot discusses with the couple several factors including their wine style preferences, whether the wines are required for enjoyment now or over the coming years, whether this is the basis of a new, or addition to a couple's, cellar and whether the wines are for pleasure or for investment or indeed a combination of the two. Other specific wines can also be sourced and these might be bought directly from the domaines or châteaux or at auction around Europe, subject to certain conditions. After a complete discussion, analysis and advice, a final agreed list is produced that becomes available for donors to look at and to order from. All bottles bought from Boursot?s Wine Collection are provided with tasting notes and recommended drinking dates. If wines for the List have been bought from elsewhere, for example from auction, Guy Boursot will provide as accurate notes as are feasible without tasting these specific bottles. Bottles or cases can be purchased over the internet by the couple?s friends and relatives and will be held in the cellars in Ardres until the newlyweds are ready to collect after their honeymoon. By taking their own wines back with them, of course couples will not be paying the UK?s penal duty on wine imports. Please enquire for further details on ardres@boursot.co.uk. |
