Bushfire Appeal

[Gavin Trott]

Australian Wine Trade Bushfire Raffle

The events of the past week have touched all Australians and hit home hard for the wine industry with the tragic death of Rob Davey (of Rob Davey Wine Merchants) his wife and two young daughters. A number of wineries in Victoria have also suffered significant property and stock losses. The Australian Wine Trade responds with generous donations from wineries big and small, including many affected as well as a number of key online retailers that have supported the cause. All that remains is for people to buy tickets and spread the word. I appreciate many of you have already given to the cause, but if you can find it in your heart to give a little more, and maybe even win some great wines, please do.

- Tickets are $25 each

- Proceeds to go to the Australian Red Cross - Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009.

- Raffle runs Tuesday Feb 17th - Tuesday March 11th

- Raffle to be drawn Friday, March 13th. Details TBA

Tickets are now available from us at the

Australian Wine Centre.

Hello

No

The site will not add any freight. Freight will be $0.00

Purchase away!

Gavin,

The 'Wire Transfer' option does not give a bank or account - is it not possible to do a direct deposit?

Hello

Indeed it is, please complete your order, and email me.

Full banking details freely provide.

I must be doing it wrong - I keep being asked if i am a metro or regional purchaser (ie $12 or $15 delivery)

[Gavin Trott]

I must be doing it wrong - I keep being asked if i am a metro or regional purchaser (ie $12 or $15 delivery)

Do both options have a red asterisk??

Hopefully so.

If so choose either and you should not have any freight added??

[Scanlon]

and of course now it is working

thanks:)
