Difficult to quantify what our expectation was when the new site launched.  Certainly a huge flurry of purchases was not on the list so we were thrilled and amazed to find five individuals chose to purchase champagne in the first 24 hours.  Simply fantastic and so VERY VERY exciting!

What is even more exciting, is that all the purchases were for exactly the purposes we had envisaged…  birthday celebrations, anniversaries, engagements and business promotion.  A massive thank you to one and all and let’s hope we can build on this.

Big big thank you to the “tasters and testers” team who put the site through its paces and gave massively important feedback - you all know who you are.  You forgot to leave me any feedback on the champagne itself (was 6 bottles enough of a sample?!)…  The things you found that were broken and the other elements that could be improved are all noted  - and those changes are already in build.

If I can just reiterate my request for all feedback from every corner - unless you tell us what you think, we just won’t know it and be able to improve it!

Enjoy the long weekend and let’s hope the sun continues to shine - a perfect excuse to break out the bubbly!

Best wishes
