Oddbins: traffic passing them by? Tom Cannavan's poll


As I have already mentioned in a previous post Tom Cannavan has been running an interesting poll – Do you shop in Oddbins stores? – on his wine pages this week.

Results so far:

No - I could, but tend not to:  60% (140 Votes)

Yes, occasionally:  21.4% (50 Votes)

No - only because there are no stores near me:  14.1% (33 Votes)

Yes, frequently: 3.8% (9 Votes)

Not in stores, but I shop with them online: 0.4% (1 Votes)
As Tom explains: 'wine-pages polls are for fun - they are not meant to be rigorous scientific research. They do, however, offer an insight into the wine attitudes of our visitors.'

Accepting Tom's caveats that this is not a scientific poll, it does offer a pretty grisly insight into the problems facing Oddbins. If Oddbins is to survive it has to attract wine-page devotees or their like.
