DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: With the Christmas party season fast approaching, Craigavon-based drinks distributor United Wines has launched details of its festive Designated Driver campaign to help Northern Ireland revellers enjoy the party season and get home safe. Starting from November 18, the initiative will see partygoers who volunteer themselves as a designated driver rewarded with a free Heineken®0.0 or Birra Moretti Zero when they make themselves known to bar staff by showing their car keys at participating venues. Launching the safe driving campaign are Gemma Herdman (left) and Maura Bradshaw of United Wines, with Willy Erwin of The Lansdowne on Antrim Road, Belfast.
