Wine Club membership benefits
If you become a member of the Sir Ian Botham Wine Club, these Terms and Conditions and our standard Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use apply.
Benchmark Drinks Limited (t/a Botham Wines, www.bothamwines.com) will offer Sir Ian Botham Wine Club membership from May 2019. By paying the relevant one-off subscription fee and quarterly membership fees, members will receive the following benefits for a 12 month period:
- a mixed case of 12 pre-selected bottles of 75cl wine delivered to your registered address 4 times within the 12 month period. The bottles are pre-selected by Sir Ian Botham and are non-transferable.
- The delivery schedule will be May 2019, August 2019, November 2019 and February 2020. Once membership of the club is granted and the relevant fees are paid by Direct Debit, members will receive their first mixed case of wine within 14 days and then the following cases will be delivered as per the schedule above.
- Within each mixed case, members will also receive a covering letter from Sir Ian Botham, tasting notes for each of his chosen wines and up to bespoke recipes, created by professional chefs, to partner with a selection of the wines within each case. These benefits are non-transferable, may not be sold at auction and have no cash alternative.
- Members will be eligible to use a membership discount code for additional purchases of wine made through www.bothamwines.com only. The discount code entitles the member to a further 10% off the total order value and is valid for the period of their membership only. The discount code may only be used by the registered member who is 18 years or over. The discount code is non-transferable, may not be sold at auction and has no cash alternative. Where a discount code is used in breach of the above conditions, we reserve the right to refuse to supply wines to the member or to make a charge equivalent to the value of the voucher against the payment card used on the contravening order or take steps to redeem the products as we deem appropriate. A charge may be made to cover the cost of recovery of the products.
- Members will be eligible to attend an invitation only annual wine tasting with Sir Ian Botham. Invitations to attend will be sent to all members at least 3 months ahead of the event. We will not cover expenses incurred in attending this event. This invitation is non-transferable, may not be sold at auction and has no cash alternative.
