Supermarket promotions Q1 2022

[Gareth J Welch]

I thought this was a very good price at TEE, but they only had 2018 and it has seemed a bit un Chablis to me..View attachment 23274

They had a different 1er 2018 at TEE back in the Summer - cant remember what it was - on offer at £15.

It was very ripe, their basic “finest” at £12 which was 2019/20 was/is much more Chablis like and certainly ok for the money.

As well as the Fourchaume in the main part of the picture, there is also a Mont de Milieu to the right and it looks like £15 as well. Perhaps that was the one you saw?

Aldi Lebanese Red reduced from £7.99 to £5.44. Probably a decent midweek wine for most on here though I have certainly had it on a Saturday night in the recent past. Well worth it at that price and always nice to have in the house when my daughter asks if I have any wine I can give her away saving my better bottles for myself.

Drunk alongside bison chilli sausage.
A cracking match.
Pale ruby; warm, brambly, upfront fruit; an attractive baked ruggedness, spicy red fruits; brusq finish. 87 points. (++ with food).
Designed for BBQs.
Aim will be to head to local store tomorrow & hope there’s some left at the discount.

The Pillittery Ice Wine In Lidl has moved to £6.49.

Still £13.99, this morning. That's it: I give up.
Whilst there, spotted the new Lugana 2020 @ £8. It would have been churlish not to pick up a bottle.

 

[Dom Shepherd]

Must be store specific offers for some reason this time.

Has anyone noticed fine wine sector in Waitrose stores have been nearly half empty for weeks now? Mostly the French wine. If they can‘t get their delivery soon maybe we won‘t have much to buy even they put on 6x 25% off sale.....

It's the same throughout my local branch. Perhaps there is a distribution problem, I can't imagine why.

Yup no Krug in Canary Wharf for some some weeks.

They’ve pretty much given up on fine wine in central brighton Waitrose, it’s a shadow of what it used to be

See I had to read that a few times. Initially I thought it might have been posted on Grindr the morning after.

They have bits up in the Hove one - though last time around with the 25% off I got the impression that they didn’t get asked for Comtes much (though they did have some)

Same with all supermarkets, there’s a real shortage of prestige gear at the moment.

 

[Alex Jagger]

Slightly off piste but there was very little prestige champagne in any of the Duty free shops I passed through on the way here. No normal DP at all. Bangkok, Singapore and Doha.

A combination of Covid / Brexit considerations for supply chain and the reduce yields of 2009 onwards have caught the producers off guard.

 

[Thom Blach]

I was surprised to see this week in our local rather unsalubrious Sainsburys that Grande Marque NVs were generally getting close to the £50 mark.

But during the 25% discount periods the price is normalised.

 

[Thom Blach]

Some are taken off the shelves entirely judging by last time, Mark.

 

[Dom Shepherd]

Vina Eguia Gran Reserva 2012 for sale at £5 in Asda.

Made by the Muriel stable.

I seem to remember Majestic stocking this at around £14/15 and occasionally reducing it to £9.99 on special offer but that must be 7 or 8 years ago now, possibly longer.

Probably not the best Gran Reserva you’ll ever drink(!) but worth a punt for a fiver.

 

[Edward Levy]

£6.89 in tesco, no reduced label just priced at this.

 

[Thom Blach]

They had plenty of that at that price last year, Edward. Nice wine for the money though not more than that.

 

[Mark Carrington]

I’ve had plenty of horrid wine for the money.

Ch Les Moines 2010, £2.75 in Coop. 2 left in Crowthorne.

No point in even thinking about a wild goose chase up here as it wouldn't even comply with the wee nippy sweety's minimum alcohol pricing policy

wee nippy sweety

I hadn't heard Ms Sturgeon's nickname before. Ouch.
