Had this email from them today:




This year, Virgin Wines' last order date for the majority of UK postcodes has been extended to 5pm on Friday 19th December.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Cheers


Jay Wright
Managing Director, Virgin Wines

PS - Currently you have chosen not to receive wine marketing emails from us. If you wish to continue not receiving information about special offers and discounts you don't have to do anything. If, however, you would like the opportunity to get the very best deals from Virgin Wines just reply to this email and we will add you to our mailing list. We don't pass your details on to any third party, so you won't suddenly be bombarded with offers from companies you've never heard of. And, of course, you can ask to be taken off the list at any time


As you can see I chose NOT to have marketing emails as it says on the bottom of the marketing email are they stupid???? punch

You have given your email address to someone/ a website without checking the "dont pass my details to third parties" option.

This website/ person has in turn sold this information to Virgin!

Why would you assume that? It seems far more likely to me that he gave his e-mail address to Virgin himself.

I had a case of wine about a year ago then cancelled my membership. The disclaimer on the bottom is contradictory.
