'Cheap wine' ads did not deliver

Hundreds of people are thought to have lost money after responding to two national newspaper adverts for consignments of cheap wine.The ads for SurplusWines.co.uk promised "huge savings on fine wines and champagnes".
The half-page adverts appeared in both the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail on Saturday, 6 March 2010.
West Yorkshire Police estimate several hundred people placed orders, but are unaware of any wine being delivered.
