Corporate Testimonials


Dear Ruth

Just to thank you very much for all your efforts at our tasting last Friday evening.  We had a thoroughly good time and the feedback from the evening was excellent.  I know a couple of members of staff are switching their allegiance from other outlets!

Thank you once again and best wishes, Hannah

I have been buying wine from Corks Out in Stockton Heath for nearly a year now and throughout that time I have been receiving a first rate service. Ruth provided me with all my corporate gifts last Christmas and, without exception, I have received very complimentary reactions from my customers on the choice of wines. I have complete confidence in her advice and have no doubt that her recommendations have enhanced the perception that my customers have of me’.


‘Ruth has an encyclopaedic knowledge of wine which enables her to buy and recommend wines whose value far exceeds their price and which you would be unable to find in the large wine merchants and supermarkets. I cannot recommend Corks Out too highly and can assure you that wines she recommends will always be of high quality and excellent value for money’.

Humphrey Claxton
Managing Director

 

Gleeds, International management and construction consultants have been customers of Corks Out for two years now. Ruth has helped us select wines in quality packaging for our corporate and staff gifts at Christmas.
Last year Ruth arranged a large wine tasting for the opening of our new offices where we entertained over 80 corporate guests, this was a great success and Ruth gave a very knowledgeable and entertaining talk about the wines on show.
‘We have recently with Ruth’s help set up a ‘Wine Club’ of our own in which Corks Out offers great case deals and delivers to our door, it couldn’t be easier’.

Stuart Ball

‘As a professional marketing organisation we understand the importance of good customer support. Ruth at Corks Out provides Business Marketing and ultimately our clients with the very best advice and support.

Nothing is too much trouble for her; she is thoroughly professional, extremely knowledgeable and very supportive. We just have to tell her of our requirements and she comes up with very special wines every time.

Whether it’s for corporate seminars, exhibitions, client gifts or staff incentives she has provided us with exceptional service.

Having an account with you makes it so much simpler to send a gift to clients and suppliers. The vast choice of wines and price ranges combined with the excellent advice available both in the shop and by telephone and email are invaluable. Once we’ve chosen our wines all we need to do is give you the address and we know that we can rely on you for a prompt and secure delivery.

Individual Testimonials

Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your recent Wine Appreciation Course. I found the course extremely interesting and informative and also great fun! Your presentations were carried out in a very organised and professional manner and the accompanying notes are packed with information which can be referred to in the future. I tasted a great number of fantastic wines and hopefully have learnt to recognise some of the grape varieties. I think that I can confidently speak for everyone on the course in saying that we would all welcome the opportunity to meet up again and continue to further our knowledge share in your enthusiasm for fine wines.


Kind regards

I have been dealing with Corks out, more specifically Ruth for about two years. I purchase wine for my personal consumption and business use. I find them a delight to deal with. I know a small amount about wine but am confident that Ruth with her knowledge of the business always guides me in a professional and trustworthy manner; she is always keen to provide a great balance between value and quality. The shop is just great, exciting and always full of new deals. The personal delivery service is brilliant and means that I can avoid the congestion of Stockton Heath.


A good long term business relationship is based on mutual trust and benefit and that's what Corks Out provides. I have recommend Ruth to my friends and those who have dealt with her endorse my view.

Following the new wine business you have introduced to the area, I think it is important to give you some feedback. I would like to reiterate the excellent service you have given to the hospital during the past two years. The main pointers from the service you provided are as follows:


Good preparation prior to visit to select wines & gifts and friendly welcome received.

Explanation relating to various wines and champagnes was excellent - your knowledge and expertise skills are 100%

Artistic approach to presentation

Organisation skills including ordering/delivering orders to strict time limits

Overall we were delighted with the choice of wines and chocolates and obviously we would not hesitate in using your services again.

Events co-ordinator

 

 

Many thanks for your help and for sending the tasting notes.  Fantastic service!! It would have taken me hours to do the research if I had bought from any other retailer.  I will be ensuring that all the guests at both tastings know where the wines come from and that they can get a knowledgeable, personal service by buying from you.

Brilliant! Best regards,

Karen

 

 

 

Wedding Testimonials

Dear Ruth,

Christine and I wanted to tell you how delighted we were with the enormous help you gave us planning the wines for our daughter Lucy's wedding.

Your suggestions for complementing the wine and food together were absolutely spot on and was commented upon by many of the guests.

The quality and value for money was outstanding and although you helped us keep to our budget we really felt that we had pushed the boat out, this I feel is due to your experience and knowledge that showed throughout the organization and on our special day.

To be able to consult with someone who has a love of wine was such a relief after previously dealing with the many of your competitors.

We knew we wouldn't have to worry about quality and delivery but we didn't expect the continued efforts from you to make sure that everything went well and that some of the stress of organizing such an event was lifted. We have recommended you to many of our friends.

Dear Ruth,

Just to thank you for all your help and advice given with the choice of wines for my daughters wedding. The wines worked superbly with the menu and quite literally went down very well with our guests.

The way you liaised with the staff at Tatton, ensuring the wines were stored and served correctly was so helpful; you removed an extra pressure and, as such helped to ensure the day went well.

Thank you once again.

Regards,

Mike Crane
