Wine seems unavoidable at this time of year.

The giving of gifts, the receiving of gifts, office parties, and other things are all part of it. The family get togethers haven't been touched by us. In the movie Home Alone, Kevin says, "yikes".

The introduction of British Airways and IAG Loyalty's innovative new 'The Wine Flyer' comes in handy when I need more, even when I feel like I have everything I need.

The first modern era airline wine store built from the ground up is forging direct relationships with wineries and specialists instead of going through middleman.

They are giving away a trip to South Africa and other stunning destinations as part of their 12 days of Christmas promotion. They have sensational prices that allow you to combine cash on bottle with Avios.

That doesn't sting as much as the giving season might.

The Wine Flyer 12 Days Of Christmas

If you place an order worth over £50 on The Wine Flyer you can win a prize every day. Here is the information from the Wine Flyer.

A customer may win a prize on a particular day if they shop with The Wine Flyer between 4pm on one day, and 4pm the following day, and their order must exceed £50 in subtotal value.

A customer will know that they have won a prize because as a leaflet or ‘golden-ticket’ will be placed within their order with the corresponding prize on it. They will need to either scan the QR code or contact the email address which is on each of the twelve golden tickets. Each leaflet also has a unique code on it which they will need to cross reference with The Wine Flyer to ensure that they have won.

The Wine Flyer has a copy of each unique code associated with the respective prize. It’s important to point out that only once customer can win each prize, and that the prizes are non-transferrable. The golden tickets will be deposited into the winning orders prior to 4pm each day, at random, by a contact in our order fulfilment centre in Northampton. 

Wine prizes on other days, as well as prize trips to Cape Town, Champagne, Bilbao and Sicily, complement each other. As long as the gross order amount is over £50, you can use Avios to buy wine. Take a look at this sample pricing.

  • Ramon Bilbao ‘Journey’ Rioja – buy from £0.69 plus 1,755 Avios or £12.99 (link)
  • Whispering Angel – buy from £0.99 plus 3,495 Avios or £19.99 (link)
  • Black Stump – buy from £0.59 plus 1,900 Avios or £11.99 (link)
  • Pure Gin – buy from £1.60 plus 4,345 Avios or £34 (link)

If your order value is over £50 of pure cash price, your cart will be eligible for the daily golden ticket prizes. Three bottles of Whispering Angels for 3x the price and 3x the amount of Avios would be counted. It's cool.

I am incredibly impressed with the Wine Flyer. The prices are very competitive and there is no focus on just selling bulk. You can find great bottles from high end to everyday.

One of these 12 days may be the best time to order wine for the holiday season. Everyone who orders is more likely to win than you are.

Wine clubs have been around for a long time. Kind of good. British Airways, or rather IAG Loyalty, has launched a new wine offering that not only offers significant bonus points for purchases, but also some fantastic wine too. What is the way? Wine clubs are similar to airline wine clubs.

There is an airline news.

Avios

Half the work should be done by doubling theAvios. Online shopping is one way to accumulate points. In addition to any points you earn from your credit card, airline "e-store" portals allow you to earn extra miles just for making the extra click from the airline.

There are deals.

British Airways and IAG are working to make the currency part of every day life, rather than just the high life above the clouds. The new way to earn points is to fill up the car. Who would've done that?

There are frequent flyer programs.
