Free wine?
Permalink  
 


I bought something from Staples.com , and with it came a $100 Wine Voucher.

The catch? It's $100 off a purchase of at least $160 from their website,

us.nakedwines.com/pls1505 .

 

Well, I haven't had wine since college, so this is worth nothing to me.

But maybe I could give it to a friend?

Or maybe paying $60 for their wine is a waste of money???

Their wine could be great or it could be a step better than vinegar.

 

What would you do?

It's not free wine. It's a $100 "voucher" for a discount on over-priced wine. So, you spend $60 plus shipping on what is probably $60 worth of wine.

Shipping is included, by the way.

But it might be $30 worth of wine ...

 

Or they really want people to try their products, thinking that once someone buys their wine, they will like it and reorder. A lot of people like buying whatever they can on the Internet.

The Naked Wines are cheap ones. But how many bottles do you get? If they are no more than $3/bottle after you discount than they are worth it for making gift baskets. In NH they are about $7/bottle.

 So how many bottles would you get for $160 less the $100 voucher? Could you even find a use for them, or people to give them to?

Throw it away. You are not out anything and you will not have to agonize over what to do with it.

To be honest, I've never had really good wine. Had cheap wine, medium price wine and expensive wine. It all tasted about the same.

I'm with Karl. Throw it away.

I've had good wines. Just really isn't my thing. Gives me a wicked headache. I'll stick to hard liquor.

I'd rather have a joint.

For the record, I no longer drink or do any kind of drugs.

Carry on.

We got one of those, too, when we bought the Wii. We threw it away. And we like wine.
