The Wine Society is one of "the couple of wine merchants" that I might be inclined to trust (and the cellarage is handy).
The cru classé vs petit chateau issue is a difficult one. The top wines are overpriced for sure but they are the only ones that are sufficiently characteristic to make me want to buy them. The wine that you can buy for ₤12 would likely cost me over $30 and at that price point I can buy lots of stuff that I would rather have than petit chateau claret.
