My wine & travel blog is mostly free-to-view but, needless to say, I really do think it's worth paying something for; even if the sad reality is that many people are reluctant to pay for internet content! So why not become a privileged supporter by buying one or all of my in-depth special supplements, reports and guides, such as the two on the Languedoc, Champagne, Chablis, Alsace, Cava, Argentina, Cahors, Saint-Chinian, Portugal, English bubbly or Slovenia/Croatia, emailed as PDF files with colour photos - see and click on the links at the top for more info and payment details. Use the PayPal buttons in those posts to pay by card or your own Paypal account, although you don't need one to do this. Alternatively, advertising would give you some prominent exposure and at reassuringly inexpensive rates too! See blurb in the top right hand column on the home page.

WineWriting/FrenchMedWine uses PayPal to process credit and debit card payments, or you can use your own PayPal account of course, thereby offering encrypted transaction security. Fees are currently charged in GBP, so your bank will convert and debit you in the appropriate currency at the prevailing exchange rate. As one-off payments, it won't be possible to issue a refund once it's already been made. However, if not fully satisfied with the service or in the unlikely event I fail to send you any purchased report within the time specified, you can claim a refund via PayPal. Richard Mark James is not VAT registered in the UK so that doesn't apply.

Any personal data provided via transactions or subscribing to email alerts will only be used to contact you about the relevant issue regarding WineWriting.com/FrenchMediterraneanWine, or to send occasional email updates about what's new on the site. There's plenty enough spam and other cyber-nastiness out there already, thank you. And I certainly will never pass on or sell your email address or other information to anybody or anything else: you can contact me any time via the form on the home page regarding your data and privacy. WineWriting/FrenchMedWine does not process or hold your bank account or card details.

This blog is hosted by Google Blogger so should be readily available to view in any up-to-date browser. However, WineWriting/FrenchMedWine cannot guarantee this and will not be liable for any loss or damages from you using the site or due to it being unavailable or not working correctly. However, a refund might be offered to report purchasers if they are unable to gain access to the report due to a fault at my end or email failure, but not if down to a problem with Google. Although I always ensure all content on the site is as accurate and complete as possible, no warranty is also made for this.

Third party cookies and sites/blogs: apart from PayPal and Google, any other third party techno bits that will transfer themselves onto your computer via browsers to improve your experience etc. come from obvious links to/on e.g. Google ads or other sponsored links or advertisers, featured wine producers' websites, Decanter.com or other on-line publications related to writing on the site. Obviously if you click on them, you'll open the corresponding (trustworthy) webpage thus beyond my control and responsibility. Anyway, these cookies are harmless to your computer and nothing a good-old "delete browsing history/data" won't sort out.

Thanks for contributing to the financial survival of WineWriting.com and French Mediterranean Wine. Enjoy the blog and feel free to send me any feedback you want, as I'm always interested in hearing what you think is particularly good, or not so good, in terms of content, type of feature, tastings etc.

It goes without saying that words and images on this site/blog are destined for those of legal drinking age only, whatever that is in your part of the world. RMJ via WineWriting/FrenchMedWine wholeheartedly endorses the sensible and moderate consumption of wine, especially with good food and company.

Cheers now
