Today, from 3pm to 6pm, people can enjoy some 36 Short tastings in-store, as well as enjoy some tastings of DeBortoli Wine on Thursday, March 21 and on Wednesday, March 27.

There are also free giveaways people can look forward to on Wednesday and Thursday next week.

Meanwhile people can also take advantage of deals currently going on some of the store’s top brands, including XXXX, Hard Rated, Jack Daniels, DeBortoli, Baileys and Wild Turkey.
