We (the Mrs and I) enjoy a bit of red, rioja mainly and malbec but we seem to be spending a fortune on it at tesco, there has to be a cheaper way of buying it, I don't mind at the beginning of the month spending £200 - £400 on a bulk buy of decent wine.

The problem we have is that we have a lot of family visits per week who also enjoy sampling our stocks so I seem to be spending more than I should.

Any advice as to where people buy their wine would be great.

Supermarkets aren't the best places to buy wine. Limited choice, not great quality and poor pricing.

Have a look at the merchants. Majestic are good as are places like the Wine Society.

Smaller merchants are more likely to do a deal for larger amounts. I have used Great Western Wine in Bath who were good and usually have 10% off a case and free delivery.

Other than that take a van over the Calais and really stock up.

I don't have the time for Calais but I'm sure there is a wine merchant at the bottom of duke street in Liverpool, I just assumed it was trade only.

Speaking as someone from the trade. I havent found a wine merchant yet that wont do cash on delivery or cash sale.
