Best Red Wine Case 12

Our Best Red Wine Case is 12 bottles of the reds our customers come back for again and again: TRACES Merlot, La Vida Ligera Merlot, El Ninot de Paper Grenache Shiraz and Vina Mariposa Tinto, with three bottles of each.

They're all proper reds at 11% ABV, with 0g sugar and fewer than 85 calories a glass. So you can keep enjoying a glass of red in the evening, without wondering what it's adding up to. With the nights drawing in, it's the easiest way to keep the wine rack stocked through to Christmas.
