blogger’s wine freebie- uk & ireland
Just heard: Stormhoek are now expanding their “Blogger’s Wine Freebie” to the Republic of Ireland. And the British one is still open, so if you haven’t signed up yet, please free to do so.
[Stormhoek Blog here.]
Looks like it’s working. Rock on.
[UPDATE:] To see how other bloggers received their wine freebie, please visit the wiki.
[UPDATE:] Within minutes of posting this, we got our first Irish Blogger to sign up. Thanks, Tom!
[Speaking of Ireland:] There’s a Geek Dinner with Robert Scoble in Ireland, tentativley for the 30th November. If I can, I’ll try to attend. I just set up a wiki for it.
[MEA CULPA:] Technically, the first Irish blogger to get Stormhoek is in fact here. I let him have a bottle during the UK-only part of the promotion in exchange for him sharing the bottle with his Irish wine distributor friend. But I’d forgotten about it till I was reminded again etc.
The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.

You know Tom wasn’t the first Irish Blogger to sign up – I got mine a few weeks ago (mind you I’ve drank it, and really enjoyed it, but have yet to blog anything on it)!
So to any other Irish bloggers – sign-up, it’s actually really nice wine.

Thank you Hugh and all your friends at Stormhoek Wines. Caroline and I really enjoyed tasting the Stormhoek wine it was deemed very quaffable frisky and fresh. We both liked the screw top. Price we felt should be £3.99 rather…

Hugh MacLeod’s blatant blog-link-pimping for Stormhoek wine got me thinking aobut a couple of things. Apart from being a great experiment in viral test marketing, Hugh is addressing the issue of open feedback. When test marketing, the hope is that…
