Worth a look for stocking up purposes, buy in multiples of 6 bottles. Runs til the 10th I believe

Thanks - will check them both out

I bought five bottles of Taylor LBV 2003 and one bottle of Cockburn LBV 2004 from Sainsbury today for £44.63

damn we need one of those here.

do they have dry wines too? Champers would be great to stock up for the holidays with the discount!

Yip - all wines, including fortified and sparkling, is available with this discount. You can buy any combination of 6 bottles to qualify for the discount. These offers are quite normal in the UK but have been conspicuous by their absence for the past year or so, possibly due to the weak £GBP. The good news is that because Sainsbury have broken the cycle it is highly likely that Tesco will do the same offer within the next couple of weeks

I visited another Sainsbury store on the way home tonight and found that they had both Crasto and Eira Velha 2000 at £11.25 per bottle - all 9 bottles they had in store are now mine. Another Sainsbury could suffer the same fate tomorrow

There is a Waitrose in Dubai, and I was there last week. No alcohol there, but plenty of pork. We drove back home with a trunk full of ribs, sausages and patés.

Bought six Fonseca Guimaraens - three 1988 and three 1996, plus 5 bottles of Taittinger champers at Sainsbury's. The Taittinger was already discounted to £23.95.

Prices were ramped up at most supermarkets a couple of months back, in preparation for Xmas discounts..

- I'm waiting for Tesco to go on the attack..

Although there aren’t any general discounts yet, my local Tesco had the unfiltered 2004 Croft LBV back on offer at £3.99 a half bottle. I took the opportunity to clear the shelf
