Box: December 2023
Christmas again
Happy holidays folks.
For this holiday season and I can say is, “We did it!”. We survived a year of hyper inflation, another year of war, eye watering electricity bills, shorter summer holidays and all the while staying loyal to you with new wines and your support to keep us going – Thanks to you , IWCoK will be around for another year in 2024 bring you the same great value and convenience to your home.
What does our Christmas box bring for the end of 2023 ? Just the usual selection of wines from a variety of flavours and countries that will bring joy to all the holiday dinners and guests. Be it the light and easy to drink Bronzeo that will be perfect for grandma, to Le Midi that will knock anyone’s socks off when paired with some Christmas duck or a new years steak. And those are just the book ends of what is a wide selection of tastes for you to discover.
Enjoy your end of year celebrations with Family
The break from work
Too much to eat and drink
And a great glass of wine
Best wishes
Mike + Misa
