Get One of the World’s Best Wines for $8 & More
Highlights and headlines from around the web:
- I love good wine and over the years I’ve learned that good doesn’t always mean expensive (keep an eye out for my upcoming review of all the canned wine I could find). So I’m curious to try this $8 supermarket wine when it comes to the US today.
Exquisite Collection Côtes de Provence Rosé, 2016, won a Silver Medal at the International Wine Challenge 2017 and is available at Aldi for $8 in the UK. US stores will start carrying it today, and this hilarious article has tips for how to ensure you can get a bottle. Has anyone tried it? Is it actually good?
- I’ve been seeing ads for Seated pop up in my Facebook feed, so was glad to see an article on Frequent Miler yesterday outlining how you can get $15 back per reservation in select cities. It’s potentially better than the now defunct Living Social Restaurants Plus and the current, more complicated, Groupon+. Get a $5 credit when you sign up via a referral link, mine is KERI14. Heads up though, a quick scan shows only a limited number of options and none outside of the city proper. For instance in DC there are no restaurants in Arlington, Bethesda, or Silver Spring.
- Minneapolis Airport is testing out new automated security lanes that feature self-directing luggage bins with cameras and bar codes for additional security in addition to automatically diverting bags flagged for additional screening and returning the bins to front of the line saving staff time carting them to and fro. The pictures look similar to what I’ve seen in Europe.
- SiR Hotels has transformed their hotel Instagram accounts into unique European city guides. Check ’em out: @SirAlbertHotel / @SirAdamHotel / @SirSavignyHotel / @SirNikolaiHotel / @SirJoanHotel
- Ebates has doubled the in store cash back at certain retailers. See how Ebates’ in-store cash back feature works.
