Q: When I click on the Spotify playlist links you send me, they don’t work. What do I do?
A: There may be a couple of issues here. One being you don’t have a registered Spotify account. If you don’t, we recommend you signing up because Spotify is wicked. Who wouldn’t want to create playlists and listen to music all day long. Second is that your web browser is outdated. Try the link on your phone, tablet or laptop and see if you get any joy there. The other option is to get out your guitar and start strumming.

Q: What is the intended use for your Spotify playlists?
A: They should be used in a private setting. Please do not play these in a commercial environment or you will be breaking the law. By using the site you, as the visitor, member or customer recognise this and take full responsibility for.

That’s about all we can think of for the time being. Although if you feel like a chin wag, or have something else you need to ask, please send us an email at hello@savagevines.co.uk and one of our Wine Savages will be in touch asap.
