'118 Wines' and Gambino launched

"118 Wines" and Gambino wines were launched on Friday afternoon at the Cleland and Souchet outlet in Portomaso, St Julian's.

118 is a programme screened on Net TV every Thursday, currently being presented by John Demanuele under the theme "fine living". The programme is directed by Brainbox.

During the second season, John Demanuele together with Jean Galea Souchet, one of Cleland and Souchet's directors, explored the wonderful world of wines, emphasising the making of wine, wine appreciation, combining wine with various foods and wine accessories. This feature was one of the most popular, with more than 2,000 viewers taking part in the weekly competition. This season's 118 has teamed up with Cleland and Souchet for setting up a wine club titled "118 Wines", the theme being "Bringing wine lovers together".

The launch of 118 Wines was amalgamated with the launch of Gambino wines in Malta.

"Today's launch event marks another important step in the development of our growing wine business. We are very proud to have been appointed the exclusive importers and distributors for Gambino wines and we are very excited with our collaboration with the 118 team to form a new wine club called 118 Wines," Cleland and Souchet director Richard Cleland said.

Being a member of "118 Wines" will entitle members to a monthly newsletter focusing on the world of wines, special discounts on various wines and brands from Cleland and Souchet, special rates for wine-tasting sessions plus special monthly prices for various gifts and accessories. The first club event is a Sicilian evening to continue to celebrate the launch of Gambino wines in Malta.
