December Specials

Our gift to you this December is an opportunity to save money on your favourite wines!  Purchase any two Vintners Reserve wines and save 25% on the less expensive kit.  They don’t have to be the same kits – you can make a red and a white wine, or mix and match any way you choose.  These kits are ready in 4 weeks and you have 17 wines to choose among.

We also offering the same sale on the premium Selection International wines.  Buy and two, and save 25% on the less expensive kit.  Savings range from $27.50 up to $35!  There are 25 wines to choose from.  What a great chance to try the new Chilean Malbec and save some money!

AND – for every wine you make until December 24th, you can enter a ballot to our Christmas draw.  One lucky person will win a Tazzona Espresso/Cappuccino machine complete with one pound of freshly roasted coffee each month for the entire year!  Fresh City Coffee is a local company and they roast some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted!

Rod, Maria, Sara, Brittney and I are sad staff aren’t eligible for the draw!  We hope to see you during the holiday season – and thank you for your business!

Happy Labour Day Weekend!

We’re all looking forward to the long weekend – the last weekend of summer.  It’s so hard to believe school is starting back on Tuesday, the nights are getting colder, and it’s starting to get dark earlier.  Wine Central will close at 5:30 on Friday, September 2nd and re-open at 9:30 on Tuesday, September 6.  Brittney is in Vancouver for the weekend, Sara is playing in a ball tournament, Maria will be boating on Sunday, Rod is doing roof repairs (please don’t fall!) and Katherine will play some golf and bake lots of cookies for the potluck dessert table at her daughter’s wedding.

We hope you and your friends and family have a happy, safe weekend.  Cheers!

A New Labeling Service Available!

We are very pleased to offer you the opportunity to design your own custom wine labels in the comfort of your home!  Simply use the links provided on our Label Design Software page.  You can use any font on your computer, and even if we don’t have it at Wine Central, you’ll still be able to print your label – we just won’t be able to modify or edit the type. Choose your background label, and create your own masterpiece.  Because our printer is a thermal printer, photographs will NOT print properly.  However, black and white clip art images do print well from .bmp or .jpg file formats.

Save your label by clicking on the Save As icon, and please name them with the label number and your last name.  (72C_Smith, 18_Jones)

When you are satisfied with your label, simply email it to us for printing or save it to a memory stick and bring it in when you come to bottle.

This is a great way to make your wine even more personal – not to mention beautiful!
