Supermarket wine deals - any currently on?

[sidekickdmr]

Supermarkets almost always seem to have deals on, things like any 6 bottles of wine/champagne = 25% off

However, cant see any at the moment, admittedly I'm only looking online, but anyone aware of any stores that are doing it?

Thanks

If you pop over to the wine forum at wine-pages.com they always have a thread running on this with added value in advising what deals are worth getting...

Bad timing! I think both Sainsburys and Tesco had 25% off 6 last week.

Sainsburys at the moment running 25% off

You missed the window this time. M and S had a 25% off as well.

Aldi is worth a look for some good value quaffing wine. Never on special but pretty consistently good value.

It is finished at my local Sainsbury's.

I am about to be sent there to pick up a few things for the weekend so can report back later if it is still on.

Aldi will deliver wine. Worth a look as I mentioned.

I like Aldi, but im specifically after 12 bottles of Veuve Clicquot for our business and Aldi, im assuming dont sell that

does it have to be that champagne?
the Aldi own champagne is very tasty and costs between 9.99 and 11.99 depending on time of year

[sidekickdmr]

Yeh, has to be that champagne, we say the brand in emails that go out to people and helps justify the cost as they know they are getting a recognised and decent bottle/brand

[Dicky Knee]

No they don't.

Sainsbury's offer has finished.

Costco £205 for 6 delivered.

Sainsburys 25% off 6 is back on this weekend (until Monday).

The aldi champagne at 12.99 is very good. Certainly not a cheapo bottle.

I find sainsburys poor value generally not just for the wine. Aldi wine is pretty decent. I normally spend £8 on a bottle of red. But bought a 3.99 bottle other day which was spot on .

You know the value of wine in that bottle is like £0.10?

Not always
Aldi and Lidl have a habit of large discounts to attract shoppers to their stores so a number of their wines are sold at below cost - the Aldi champagne being one, their Toro Loco being another - both are very good wines for the price

The point being missed here is that the OP runs a very successful, high-end holiday property and amongst his sales collateral states that you'll find a bottle of Veuve there for you when you arrive. Most people will recognise that brand, and whilst a bottle of Aldi's Monsigny might be perfectly drinkable (which I can confirm it is, having drunk many bottles ), it's not instantly recognisable, or recognised as a known good brand.

It would be similar to him saying "upon arrival, we'll hand you the keys to a Range Rover which is yours to use as you wish during your stay" and then when you get there finding a Duster awaiting you. Sure it's still a 4WD SUV, but......

I agree, I had a walk around the booze section of Sainsbury’s the other day, all the wine seemed quite pricey. The last lot I bought was from Costco, I bought a few 6 bottle boxes for around £35.

The toro loco is spot on. Its won several awards and is nothing like the ste you buy in asda for 3.99. Hardy's etc
Try a bottle you wont be disappointed. There is also a rose in aldi cant think of the name. I hate rose but on recommendation from this thread I picked a bottle up. 5.99. Very nice. Waitrose and aldi are my go to supermarkets.

When I popped into Sainsburys today, the VC n/v was £35 per bottle (down from £40), so buying 6 bottles would work out at £26.25 each.
