Great wine offer for RIAS home insurance quotes

RIAS has teamed up with one of the UK’s premier wine merchants to offer anyone over 50, who completes an online RIAS home insurance quote, a very palatable £25 worth of top quality wine from Averys.

Homeowners interested in finding a great deal for their home insurance simply need to fill in and submit a RIAS home insurance quote form online to see how much they could save on their existing policy. Once the quote is complete, enquirers will be invited to place an order for wine with Averys to automatically qualify for a generous discount of £25 on orders over £70. That could be £70 worth of wine for £45, just for getting a RIAS home insurance quote!

Established in 1793, Averys is a wine company of a very fine vintage, steeped in tradition, yet the offer is via an up-to-the-minute e-voucher, redeemable at www.averys.com . The Bristol-based vintners ships its wine to all corners of the UK, and with over 1000 different wines from around the world it provides a wide and interesting choice. Help is at hand for those who are unsure of what to go for, and with a hefty duty increase to tax on alcohol due in this month’s budget, wine lovers can also take advantage of the exclusive spring pre-budget bin-ends sale. Whether its fine reds, crisp whites or celebratory bubbles which tickle the taste buds, there is something to suit everyone, and every budget.

Janet Connor, Managing Director of RIAS explains: “RIAS is already well known for providing its customers with products which represent both quality and great value for money, so we are particularly pleased to be able to throw open this great moneysaving wine offer to an even wider audience. In fact, any homeowner over 50 can complete a RIAS home insurance quote to qualify - then sit back, raise a glass and enjoy the fruits of their labours!”
