Absolutely fine for opening a bottle of wine at home in front of the TV with the other half or something you'd take to a party but not much better than that. It's probably slightly worse from a value point of view from what you got through the old Laithwaites partnership but the big Avios offers (particularly when you can combine a promo code with the Amex to get something like 8,000 Avios on a £150 spend) bring it in to very acceptable territory IMO.
