Decent Drop – the company behind some of the most incredible cheese and wine kits available in Manchester – is treating customers to a discount code to enjoy 20% off their next purchase.
Sourcing quality ingredients from the best spots in the region, Decent Drop has been delivering their kits directly to doors across Manchester from lockdown right through into the ‘new normal’.
With this cracking deal up for grabs, residents can now enjoy a little luxury at home without having to pay sky-high prices.

Along with their themed wine and cheese packs – which contain six wines and cheeses, chutney, crackers and tasting notes – Decent Drop also deliver Gin & Tonic kits.
These come with five local gins, tonics and garnishes, as well as a deli selection and cheeses on the side.
Founder Carl Peters said: “Our whole ethos is affordable, great products, all put together in a beautiful way for folks to enjoy.
“It’s a great way to get people together, either hosting their own tastings (via Zoom, or now in real life) using our tasting notes”
Carl added: “We also host a weekly group tasting on Zoom, all part of the service. This is led by myself and a local sommelier. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to interact with people virtually.
“Quality is guaranteed as we used trusted, high street suppliers – so that customers can go and buy everything they’ve tried and enjoyed!”
The company is planning to launch Decent Drop Live – an informal tasting session hosted at a local bar in town.
Minimum value for the code is £50 and limited to one per customer. Expires 31 August.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
