Say "cheers" to summer with Hoverspeeds' unbeatable shopping deals

19 May 2005

It’s that time of year again when thoughts turn to Wimbledon, Pimm’s and barbecues - and to get you in the mood for summer, Hoverspeed has launched its latest shopping guide packed with great offers on beer, wines and spirits.

Travel across the Channel with Hoverspeed and take advantage of its unique pre-order service. Simply order in-store at the Dover terminal, online before you travel at www.hoverspeedshopping.com or buy on-board the Seacat and collect your goods at the Calais Hoverport before boarding the Seacat for your return journey.

Planning a barbecue and trying to please everyone? Take advantage of the ‘buy any three for £30’ offer on Bell’s Whisky, Gordon’s Gin, Captain Morgan rum or Pimm’s No. 1.

With the great offers Hoverspeed has on champagne, you can afford to mix Pimm’s with bubbly instead of lemonade for that special occasion. Pick up a bottle of Moet Et Chandon Brut for only £18.99, a bottle of Veuve Moreaux for only £9.99, or try Jacobs Creek Sparkling for £5.99.

Hoverspeed is also offering great deals on wine. Buy six bottles of Blossom Hill red or white for £12 (£2.59 each) or select six Piat D’Or red, medium white, rose or dry white wines for £12 (£2.79 each). If you are looking for something a little bit special, you can snap up a Louis Latour wine from as little as £2.99.

Barry Hopkins, Hoverspeed’s retail marketing manager, said: ‘We’ve got unbeatable offers on a great selection of wines, beers and spirits. I’d personally recommend one of our Spanish Riojas, the Campo Viejo Reserva and Campo Viejo Crianza. They are fantastic value at only £4.99 and £3.99 each - and you save £6 when you buy six bottles.’

Hoverspeed’s fantastic beer offers include three cases of Grolsch (24x50cl) for just £28 (or £10.49 a case), and a FREE case of Fosters (24x50cl) when you buy five cases at £10.99 each.

Fans of Old Speckled Hen bitter, currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity, can buy three cases for just £30 (price per case £10.49). If Bushmills is your thing, why not try Bushmills Cream – a quality cream liqueur not available to buy on the high street. Hoverspeed’s offering two bottles for only £20.
