0:19.3	And I'm Zoe Grunewold. And here at the bunker, we don't believe
0:22.8	in guesswork. We go to the experts for the best insights into news and politics, and why should
0:28.1	wine be any different? That's why we're pleased to recommend naked wines. I enjoy their
0:33.5	bariccas Gallaudoro Reserva from Portugal. Well, I'm trying their small and small Savignon Blanc from New Zealand. Seth, tell me, what's your wine knowledge like? Very specialised, so pretty good on things Portuguese, but non-existent on those other things. How about you, Zay? I drink most anything, but I have to say I'm really enjoying this saveni en blanc. It's citrusy,

0:59.7	is that they deliver top quality wines right to your jaw from world-class winemakers from across

1:10.2	Naked can help you find your next bottle to fall in love with.
1:13.5	And this premium doesn't have to come at a punishing price.
1:16.9	By working directly with the winemakers, they can pass on the benefit
1:20.2	and offer bottles up to 33% less than typical retail prices.
1:25.1	Head to Nakedwines.co.uk forward slash the bunker to get six top rated wines for just
1:31.4	£39.99. That's £6.67 a bottle. I repeat, that's six bottles of wine for just £39.99,
