Very smooth experience w order and delivery. The Pecorino is a lovely fresh, easy-drinking summer white - enjoyed it with seafood and pasta. Cardboard bottle is a practical alternative - light but sturdy. Easy to store, open and pour. Not 100% clear whether the inner bag is recyclable, and where to recycle it.

Thank you Lucy for your excellent review, we really appreciate it! It's great to hear your experience was smooth and you enjoyed this refreshing white! With regards to the recycling process, the inner liner bag is recyclable and this should be placed with plastics. Do let us know if you would like some further information on this.

The wine was very pleasant and I would certainly drink it again, unfortunately the order was incorrect arriving with one bottle instead of three. I also had to cut the top off the bottle as I was unable to unscrew the lid. Will be interested to see if I can unscrew the other 2 when they arrive or if I have to resort to a pair of scissors again.

Wine arrived very quickly
Wine arrived very quickly. Whilst it had been packed well one of the cardboard bottles had popped open. Plastic tops are quite challenging to open.
Wine tasted good. Very good selection.

Great service, wine & packaging
Great service - the WIR Team could not be more helpful!
Delicious everyday drinking wine packaged in inspired and low-carbon, beautiful packaging - paper bottles, aluminium cans and cardboard bag-in-box.
Particularly like the Philip Schofield red.
Cheers!

Good value, great quality
I’ve been buying wine from When in Rome for quite a few months now. It’s high quality, good value wine and it’s good to know I’m also doing a little bit to reduce carbon emissions.
