Lucky couple win Vauxhall van and Gallo wine

uton - Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles has collaborated with Gallo Family Vineyards to give away a Combo van, loaded with six cases of Gallo Family Vineyard wines.

The new Combo with its class-leading payload was won by Mr and Mrs Sultan from Craigie Stores, Kilmarnock, and will be perfectly suited to help the winners re-stock their store's wine cellar. The L1H1 specification Combo is 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 prize was part of Gallo Family Vineyards' promotion to support sales and distribution in independent retailers of the Gallo Family Vineyards rosé range - which is the nation's favourite USA rosé brand* - running from July to September.

Retailers 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 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."
