Does anyone know why you have to buy a minimum of 12 bottles of wine if you shop here? I quite fancy popping in for the odd bottle every now and again, but have no need to buy 12 or more - so they never get any custom of me, despite their wine range looking really good.

Probably so they can do competitive prices in bulk. I use them but as I drink quite a bit of wine I buy a couple of cases at a time. If you can afford it it's the best way. After all, it's not going to go off is it?

I got this off the website (fairly well hidden). I think the original idea was that they weren't an off licence, so they could open during normal working hours and as part of that you could only buy a case as a minimum purchase

Majestic Wine Warehouses is the UK's biggest and best retailer specialising in sales of wine by the mixed case, with 144 stores throughout the UK.

As Majestic sells wines and spirits with a minimum purchase of 12 bottles, any mix, we can offer an extensive range of superb wines in large quantities, giving our customers real choice and value.

We recognise that this might not appeal to everyone, but by doing so we feel we can offer our customers a higher level of service
