Supermarket promotions Q3 2022

[Paul Benny]

The summer quarter is usually pretty quiet for supermarket promotions
Expect to see 25% off 6+ at
- Tesco towards the end of July
- J Sainsbury - probably several promotions through July and August and maybe late September
- Asda - unpredictable. Most recently ran 20% off 3+. They now exclude Champagne.

Nothing likely at Waitrose until early November.

Thanks for this Paul, the seasonal updates are very much appreciated.

Do you know if any of the above are likely to yield a magnum or two of Bolly NV or are they usually only available via Waitrose?

 

[Thom Blach]

The Waitrose here currently has reduced mags of Bollinger, maybe worth a look.

 

[Will Devize]

As in bricks and mortar shop, Thom?

 

[Thom Blach]

Yes.

Can't see this has been mentioned but I had an email from Cellar by Waitrose mid day Weds which included an offer of up to 25% off wine and fizz (ends 9/8/22) - link to the website reveals is across 212 wines.

 

[Paul Benny]

Mark - that's a routine promotion on individual wines, many of which are frequently discounted. And note the '"up to".

Sorry - my knowledge doesn't go to that level of detail, although I've never seen magnums of Bolly in store. You might be better setting an alert at camelcamelcamel for your target price at amazon.

Readily acknowledged & accepted - I merely posted seeking to be helpful to the wider community but..........................

Yes, and you don't need to buy six to get the discount, so its even available in Scotland. I picked up a few bottles of the Graham Beck Brut for £10.99 each.

 

[Will Devize]

To answer my own question, TWS are running a flash sale on cases of Bolly en magnum - £240 for 3, which AFAIK is almost as cheap as the Waitrose 25% deals.

was that an in-store offer Paul? Neither Cellar or groceries online have the GB brut on offer ...... but Majestic have it for £11.99 so there's a backup
edit: and I see Tesco have GB Vintners Selection which I assume is another labelling of the same wine (?) on clubcard price for £11 until 25/7

Looks like Sainsburys dates for July will be from 27th July 2022 until and including 31st July 2022. At least, according to T&Cs on their website

I bought them in store, Michael. Not sure for how long the offer is running though. Majestic quite often have it on a 'deal' price.

 

[Paul Anderson]

Actually, just checked the store I bought it from and its back up to £14.99 so looks like Majestic is the one to go to now.

 

[Paul Benny]

Tesco 25% off 6+ excluding Scotland from tomorrow (26 July) to 1 August.

Mumm £28 -> £21
Guigal CdR £10 -> £7.50

Jancis recently (end May) reviewed a selection from Tesco; the article is available without subscription.

 

[Michael Sheridan]

there was a time I'd have been down Tescos quick as a flash for their 25% off 6 but having looked at what they now offer, unless I need to top up on party plonk, there is nothing much there to inspire me to make the trip

 

[Paul Benny]

And also Sainsburys 27-31 July

Ellercombe English fizz £18 -> £13.50, favourably commented on on Jancis's site

 

[John Devlin]

Picked up some more bottles of Estancia Chardonnay Monterey in the Tesco 25% offer. Jancis flagged it up in her article so I bought a few last time there was an offer. Vintage has moved on and the price has come down. Normally 14, with Clubcard 12 and now 9 in the offer. I don't know of a better sub £10 Chardonnay out there at the moment. Plenty of Ringbolt Cabernet at 10 or 7.50 after discount in my local stores.

 

[Mark Davies]

I don't know if this is every Sainsburys or just the Brighton branch having a clear out. Anyway I'm stuffing as much as I can get in the basket

 

[Simon Johnson]

Miraval (for those that like that kind of thing) on clearance at some Morrisons at £10

 

[Paul Anderson]

Anyone got an inkling as to when the next Waitrose Wine Cellar 25% off sale will start?

 

[David Pope]

at Waitrose in Stratford today and there were a couple of minor reductions again: £2.50 off a bottle of Dr L Riesling and £2 off a bottle of Magdalener Kreuz from Leitz.
