 Wine and Beer Worls Calais

 

There have been major changes at the Wine and Beer Company over recent months. In fact, they have a new name - 'Wine and Beer World' and they are owned by Majestic Wine plc, the well known UK outlet.

We are happy to reproduce the company's own press release and photographs and our own verdict is shown underneath the photos.

"Majestic Wine Warehouses has opened its new ‘Wine & Beer World’ drinks superstore in Calais following a £500,000 refit. Incorporating 12,000 sq. ft., previously used as warehousing, the new retail space is nearly double the size of its predecessor.

Aimed squarely at UK shoppers visiting France to stock up on wine, beer and champagne at low French prices, the new store will be an unmissable destination for bargain hunters and wine enthusiasts alike.

Wine & Beer World, previously known as The Wine & Beer Company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Majestic Wine PLC, the UK's largest wine warehouse group, which has 102 stores nationwide.

The Wine & Beer World superstore has many new features to attract customers and encourage them to shop.

  • A large tasting area where a range of wines will be available to taste free, all day, every day
  • English-speaking sales team, including Majestic UK staff on secondment, to advise customers on their wine choice.
  • A new customer car park with covered loading area for protection in bad weather.
  • Pre-order desk for quick and convenient collection of orders placed by customers from home.
  • UK orders office available on 01923 298297 to take orders and give advice to customers before they travel.
  • A fully transactional website allowing customers to browse the range from home and place their order for collection from any of our four stores in Calais, Coquelles, Cherbourg & Le Havre.
    Why not take a look at the website and place your order online? Majestic Wine
  • Children's activity area and customer toilets.
  • All products are priced in Sterling, which is accepted at the checkouts. Customers can see exactly what they will pay, without any confusion over exchange rates. Customers may also pay with Euros or by cheque or credit card."

Booze-cruise.net's verdict:

This branch of Wine and Beer World is within easy reach of the Calais favourites Cheers, Eastenders and Pidou, so it's well worth checking out.

While not as large as some of the others, it is uncluttered and easy to find your way around. Their range is good, and in particular, we use them to stock up on Ruddles County, which is attractively priced, and not stocked by all the Calais outlets.

Car parking is easy and the store accepts credit and debit cards - although you need to show your passport if paying by this method.

For all pre-orders over £400, choose from a FREE ferry day trip crossing on SeaFrance or £30 discount towards your travel expenses. Even better, increase your order and they will increase your discount! Place an £800 pre-order and they will give you £70 Off or pay for a van crossing on SeaFrance.
Their pre-ordering service guarantees your order and saves you time and offers fantastic travel discounts!

Wine &Beer World are part of the well known Majestic Group, which have stores all over the UK. If you don't fancy making the trip to Calais, you can order from their website, and although the goods will be at UK prices, value for money looks very good.

All in all, Wine & Beer World is worth a visit. It is a useful addition to the Calais family of outlets, and offers genuine choice to the booze-cruiser or day-tripper.
