    If I had a plan b it would be much better and a lot sexier than that.

    And very commercially successful and very very clever too.



    And.. and it would be in the Daily Mail.
    such a shame that your only plan b idea occurs when you dream....

      Any real man would love his own real ale microbrewery, for a reasonable price.

      Is there such a franchise already?
      Boots used to sell kits quite cheaply, they were very popular with students.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Until said students tasted the produce.

          well my local always has 8 real ales on - and they always try to source from small breweries.

          I will expose your website to the landlord to see if he is interested!

          Good work fella

              as for couriers just use UK Courier Delivery Services - European Parcels - PayPerParcel as wine is accepted by them with a couple of restrictions on packaging and that is as much a marketing opportunity as a problem.

              Either way tell me when you launch and I'll try some (even though I think I guessed correctly first).
              OK then, you can have some samples also. As can all the people who originally agreed to be guinea pigs a while ago. I'll be in touch in Jan to get a delivery address for you all.

              Unfortunately the courier service is coming in at £7.37 and I don't think people would be prepared to pay that.

                Will speak to a mate and see what he uses. Unfortunately postage costs have gone skywards over the past year or so.

                  Maybe have a word from the guys at nakedwine.com - they're only 3 years young and run an excellent service. Basically delivery is £5 or free if you spend over £100. I'm sure they'd happily help out a new start-up, especially as you're not competing.

                  You maybe able to shift a few units through them too.

                    A friend of mine uses parcel2go.com and myhermes for their business which sends out a fair few parcels.

                    Parcel2go seems to have a few options and an Amazon API which you might be able to leverage to calculate shipping costs accurately.
