DISCO3.CO.UK Official Wine!
You have the car; you have the site, now get the wine! This is a one-off opportunity to become the owner of these totally exclusive wines, destined to be collectors' items, and quite probably the only vehicle web site wines in the world!
There will be a "Mud and Ruts" Syrah (red) and a "Grass, Gravel and Snow" Chardonnay (white), priced at around £80 per case, or ~£6.60 per bottle delivered to your door in the UK (for Europe contact myself or Wineman for prices). See the bottom of this post for label and bottle images.
Only 300 bottles of each wine will be made, branded with the DISCO3.CO.UK and RRSPORT.CO.UK logos. If there's sufficient interest from DISCO3 members alone then even more exclusive DISCO3.CO.UK only labels will be used
Some more information about the Domaine supplying the wine:
Domaine Sainte Rose is an exceptional viticultural estate situated in the Languedoc region of southern France. The Domaine is owned by Charles and Ruth Simpson (D3 owners - Charles is 'Wineman'), a British couple who left their respective international careers to pursue their mutual dream to establish a boutique vineyard and winery of their own. Since purchasing the Domaine in 2002 the Simpsons have created a successful range of high quality wines that are marketed in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, the United States, Canada, Holland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland to date.
The Simpson's have a very specific quality-orientated strategy. Their improvements in the farming of the vineyards combined with significant investment in state-of-the-art winemaking equipment and strict hygiene standards in the winery has enabled them to achieve their goal of creating small quantities of authentic, affordable, hand-crafted, family-made wines of distinction.
Wineman also mentioned that the wine he is proposing for the Grass, Gravel and Snow Chardonnay is the same wine that was recently written up by Jancis Robinson MW, and the Syrah will be made from a side blend of La Garrigue, their award winning red.
ORDERING
Please place pre-orders for the wines by replying to this topic or PM'ing me, stating quantity required. Remember these exclusive collectors' items will only be produced if there's enough interest

Just to balance things up, i'd best have a dozen bottles of white
Seeing as the seven cases we picked up on the way back from Disney are somewhat depleted (i.e. empty )

Thanks for all the feedback and initial demand.
Would love to do a D3 only label. Will need to look at the overall interest before committing to it however. In theory all we need is 25 people to order 12 bottles of a type of wine and I will do it.
Will keep you posted on numbers and interest.

In that case (pun intended) can we have the disco3.co.uk above RRS then as we were here first
And to show your allegiance to the cause - being a D3 owner - we should be on top and first image
Now. I know I have just started a war between this side and the drug runners side of course
But hey, they got their little white sacks we want our wine
As a member of this forum I think we should let the RRS boys be on top - It's only fair. All Disco 3 owners secretly want a RRS!Loving the power of the TDV8!

But from reading this thread it would seem they don't want the wine
