Vauxhall gives away a luxury prize pairing - some wine and a van

In a recent press release, Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles announced the winners of a pretty generous give away. The fortunate winner of the competition, which was also in collaboration with Gallo Family Vineyards, got to drive away with the perfect prize combo. The promotion was a marriage made in heaven for those like me, who enjoy both wine and vans (umm, just not at the same time of course). The prize included a Combo van, loaded with six cases of Gallo Family Vineyard wine. The prize was part of Gallo Family Vineyards’ promotion to support sales and distribution in independent retailers of the Gallo Family Vineyards rosé range, one of  the nation’s favourite USA rosé brand.

Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t eligible to enter (or believe you me, I would have), as the competition was aimed at independent retailers who entered the competition by purchasing three cases of Gallo Family Vineyards rosé wine (White Grenache, White Zinfandel or Merlot Rosé) at their local cash and carry and answering a brand-related question via text. The winners were Mr and Mrs Sultan from Craigie Stores, Kilmarnock,

The Vauxhall Combo van that the lucky Sultan’s got to drive home with was the L1H1 specification, powered by a 1.3CDTi 16v (90PS) engine, which delivers an impressive combined fuel consumption of 58.9mpg and low CO2 emissions of just 126g/km.

The promotion gave us a great opportunity to thank retailers for their support of Gallo Family Vineyards and to drive distribution of our popular rosé range among these customers. We offered them the opportunity to support their business with a great value prize of six cases of Gallo Family Vineyards stock and a brand new Vauxhall Combo,” said Samantha Caulfield, Assistant Marketing Manager, E & J Gallo Winery.

“We are proud to have supported this fantastic competition for local independent off-licences and convenience stores with our award-winning Combo van,” said Steve Bryant, Brand Manager, Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles. “It also gave us a great opportunity to promote our network of Vauxhall retailers, giving them the opportunity to showcase vehicles at major cash and carries.”

Congratulations to the lucky winners. I just hope they didn’t stop to pop open a bottle of wine to celebrate their win until after safely driving home.
