We saw an advert on-line for a free ferry crossing with The Calais Wine Superstore if we committed to spending £250 in the store on wine etc. We decided to go for it and found the system quick and easy to use. We received an e-mail telling us to ring P&O Ferries who were very efficient and again, it was easy to do. When we came to the ferry terminal, the system automatically recognised our car number plate which was great.
On arrival at The Calais Wine Superstore, the team were very helpful and efficient. The wine was all priced up in English Pounds Sterling as well as Euro's which we found helpful. There was a separate room where you could taste any wine for purchase and the bottles were clearly marked with the prices - again, we found this very helpful. Everyone spoke perfect English - and when I made a specific enquiry about whether they stocked Vouvray - they knew from memory exactly which region of France this came from and exactly where the bottles could be located! I was very impressed.
When we finished shopping and paid, we were given a voucher for a free case of wine if we returned and spent £100 (which we did).
Overall, our experience was very good - and we will definitely return in the future.
(We had some time to kill whilst we were in Calais, so we visited a different wine superstore which was very inferior, quite dirty and with no staff around to help. We were glad that we had chosen the Calais Wine Superstore for our major purchase. Just one small point - we got a bit lost trying to find the place, even with the SatNav. Perhaps you could consider a few more road signs).
