Hello, it's Andrew Harrison here. And it's Jason Hasey here. Today's episode is brought to you by Naked Wines, helping you to get better wine for your money and support independent winemakers as well. Jason, would you rather run around the wine aisle in a blind panic and buy something with a cool label on it, or would you rather shop from the comfort of your own settee from a selection of wines, especially tailored for you, maybe even on an app? Oh, you know my sofa too well, Andrew, don't you?

0:24.6

Yeah, I'd rather do that, thanks, than standing in the supermarket and being faced with like an endless array of wines, especially when I know that there's only one or two that I tend to go to. And for instance, when I went there recently, the white one had been discontinued. So I'm then faced with an entire wall of white wine, and I'm just standing there hoping that one bottle will talk to me. Well, in that case, this is where naked wines comes in. They help you choose better wines from world-class independent winemakers. You just tell them what you want, whether you're like, I don't know, big punchy reds or crispy whites or whatever it might be, and they deliver it to your door. And because they deal directly with the winemakers, they actually fund them to make the wine for their customers. You are supporting them directly. God, so it's virtuous vineculture. What about that? This is true, but you know what? It's not all altruism, Jason. One of the great things about naked wines is you do not have to pay for wine that you do not like. You're joking. What happens is if a bottle doesn't hit the spot, you just let them know and they will credit your account so you can buy something you do like next time, thereby you're able to zoom in on the perfect wines for you. This is like being in a restaurant without all the fuss of being in a restaurant. It absolutely is. So, better wine. Suggestions tailored for you, all delivered to your door and the wine makers get more of the money. Does that sound like a good idea? Does that sound like a good idea? Of course it sounds like a good idea. Of course it's a good idea. It's a brilliant idea. So, we have got an offer for listeners. If you head to nakedwinesines.co.uk slash, oh God, you will get,
