Megs gift shop wine

[AtIusvue]

As per the DM, we are told Meg is using Fairwinds Estate winery for her rose. Sounds nice.
But a Reddit user has discovered, that Fairwinds winery is just a brand under the umbrella of Wine gift shop. They do corporate gifts and print on demand. Oh Meg, as ever

Fairly soon I imagine!

I really think that it is.

Yes, the people who ordered the apricot spread also had the money taken from their accounts even though the product was out of stock. A lot of businesses don't take the money from your account until the order is dispatched.

But surely if someone was going to buy up the brand they'd do a serious investigation into how the business is run and how much is actually sold? They're not going to buy a brand based on nonsense any of us here can see through.

@tataler interested in your views on this sell out, you didn't think it would.

Not great it won't start shipping until July 9th. Why so long? The Megbot on Celebitchy who was planning to serve it on 4/7 will be disappointed.

The thing is, taste is so subjective. You could give me the best white wine in the world and I can guarantee that I won't like it, anything sweet and under £3.99 for me .

Maybe but wouldn't they need to sell a lot of stock before anyone would consider buying her out. And they'd need great reviews to stand out in a crowded market. I don't see evidence of either of those

The fact that they aren’t even shipping until the 9th. So 8 days until the product is even shipped.

Says to me, that the labels will be printed and slapped on the bottles in this time.

Which shows its utter bull about being sold out. It’s a print on demand winery!

One day in the not too distant future her sales figures will find their way into the public domain and all will be revealed. Of this I’m sure.

But it says they don't ship until the 9th July! In a world where Amazon Prime exists, this is an insane time lag. I just bought sonething on Ebay ( not Ms jam!) and I have had an apology email already saying they can't post until the 3rd and that was already in the listing!

I have to say this is a bonkers way to do business especially with the jam cancellations. I thought that this would be a bigger run, but no. So random.

Unless you are a wine expert and/or someone who can do a comprehensive taste comparison with at least 5 other similar products at different price points, what valuable review can you offer?

I was reading the FAQ, maybe it's different for the wine but really what a shambles the whole thing is.

That rumour I posted about her wanting a billion dollar buyout seems to be getting more factual by the moment!

Squaddies are buying 12 bottles, a mutual got 36 😀

Four bottles

They do know Meghan doesn't give a shit about them. Yes?

Exactly. We've paid much more than £30 for bottles of wine over the years, but we've had a special reason to do so, and been able to evaluate the bottle's worth/provenance/quality before handing over our cash.

If I didn’t personally know about 25 folks who’ve bought multiples then that’s debatable lol

I'm sure that's what she's after but it's all so fake, unless she genuinely has sold thousands and thousands any savvy business person will look at the books and see exactly what she's up to.

So are you a Sussex Squad?

Yeah. The vino is about £22, which is expensive but hardly exorbitant. Lots of people would be prepared to spend that for a bottle they know will be worth it.

But spending that amount - plus delivery - on multiple bottles of a wine of completely unknown quality and provenance, which you won't get for about 10 days, is just cult behaviour.

Are you a squaddie ?

Don’t get the obsession with this couple. Is their business doing some terrible social or environmental harm that deserves condemnation like hundreds of other significant companies? No. Are they exploiting homeless people in Bangladesh. No. Are they using slave factories? No. On the other hand, are they incredible inventors or entrepreneurs? No.

So why the obsession? Ok - they’re marketing bang average “lifestyle” products at top dollar to fools with money - well that’s a pretty sound marketing strategy and one that’s shared by literally millions of business around the world. What’s the big deal.

You personally know these people? As in, you've met face to face? Or you 'know' them from some 'squaddie' social media site?

If I didn’t personally know about 25 folks who’ve bought multiples then that’s debatable lol

Does the Pope live in Rome? Is the Chief Rabbi Jewish? Do bears make their toilette in forested areas?
