I want to be able to win the case of wine.
I filled out the survey (re: GR) on the homepage, thinking that I would be entered to win a case of wine...only to see that I would have to be a resident of the UK to win.:(

****pouts***

Deb

Dont worry pet its rubbish wine and it doesnt travel well !!!!!

Lol Lindsy!

In that case I should be used to it :)

They could always send me a gift certificate to our government liquor store.........then I could buy the same plonk here :)

Deb

I live in hopes of winning something in my lifetime.... so far £10 on the lottery when it first started. I

Perhaps they will do an overseas one in the future Deb. You are quite right...not fair at all.....maybe they have a different survey in mind for you all.

Thanks for telling us about it though, didn't see that till you mentioned it....have filled it in...don't know why though.....don't like wine :-)

Right Ive filled it in and if I get a load of junk mail because of it I shall be very very cross with G.R. Call me suspicious if you like, but companies that want your address generally sell them on to admail groups....

Lindsey - you never know - with your luck you may win it :)

Susan - If you win maybe you can donate it to Lindsey.

Deb

I'll throw a party and you can all come lol!!!!

I was thinking along the same lines Lindsey.
Only differnce is, when I saw I wasn't able to win the wine, I didn't submit my answers.

Wonder how many others "overseas" did the same?

Deb

***hmmm - wonders if it will be worth spending $1000 to go over there and drink plonk?******

Yep!

You are in the UK aren't you - if not it will cost me more to fly to Australia!
Wouldn't our daughter be surprised if that's the case and I ring her door bell :)))

Deb

I had a very nice australian muscato at christmas by brown brothers.

I hadn't seen the survey either, didn't exactly make it prominent did they? I've completed it but not filled in my home details as what would I do with a crate of plonk when I rarely drink? lol.

If it was Proper there would be a finishing date, the fact that its a "survey" means its for our address, as they would only ask for email address for contact?

They dont want your addresses cos your foreign,and it would cost too much to send you all the junk mail!!!!

Hi Deb, I didn,t see the "blurb" either but I,m just having a think here. I,m going to England this summer so, if i win, couldn,t GR just keep it "on ice" for me? lol

hmmm!, they may also need the address to send the wine to:-)....

but you could always do as I do with junk mail.....just write on it return to sender and pop it back in the post-box

The prize is really mean. How about a flight over here for free ?

Hello Scribe.
I am partial to Australian wine. Hubby has just within the last 10 mins arrived home with a nice bottle of red for me.

I was given a French wine at christmas called "Red Bicyclette". I don't usually drink French wine - but I enjoyed this one. Here the cost is $15.99 a bottle, down in Seattle it cost me $7.99.
Heading back down there in a few weeks to enjoy more "cheap" wine :))

Deb

lol, Deb, you do right, I guess it's like the booze trips to france that the brits make.

I don't really like wine that much, but the muscato was delicious, very fruity. It was great after the pear wine my sis in law had made (nearly blew my head off and I only had a couple of sips) not that you could tell there was pears in it lol. Usually when the others have wine I drink Schloer and pretend lol.

Carol - I'm sure that the good people of Genes will keep it on ice for you - (but not the red, as it needs to be room temp.)

A free flight draw for international members would be nice wouldn't it? Maybe I should suggest this to the powers that be. After all they rake in Millions.

Just thinking - I can fill out the survey and put my Auntys address down!

Deb

Good thinking but Auntie wont thank you for the junk !!
