Supermarket promotions Q4 2021

A Lidl a few miles from me has a few of the regularly seen Pillitteri Vidal Icewine.

If any of you bargain hunters whose local stores stock this see the regular clearance pricing would appreciate the heads up!
The Icewine had been cleared out of my 3 local stores pre Christmas which I was quite surprised about as there is usually surplus.
Clearance I would imagine should be around the time the new wine tour is expected, which should be the week of Thursday 20th Jan if previous years tours are anything to go by
 
I think they are produced by Henri de Villamont in Savigny. It was a 2018 here in sarf east London - and certainly worth the £11.25 they are asking for it. A decent village Savigny for the price of a Bourgogne rouge (if you can even find one of those for £11.25). Has the ripeness of the vintage - but still some freshness and red fruited. Can't complain.
i’d rather have TWS’s, Bourgogne “Levraut” for under a tenner than H de V offerings. A very poor show on tasting at my last visit in 2018….
 
I confess to buying a Bernard series chenin post the 25pc deal, to console myself given the absence of super-cheap pannetonis and Christmas puddings (though I got lots of the latter elsewhere).
 
I’ve asked the question about base vintage to member services, will let you know if/when I hear back. I was thinking we could persuade you to take one for the team tonight, Chris ;).

Disgorgement date also worrying for me as these were to be my Christmas day NV fizzes for the 6 adults who will be present so some maturity and post disgorgement ageing was the reason for purchase.
Hi Oliver… did you ever get a response on the base vintage for the TWS Gratien mags?

I did, and they were indeed the 08 base even when disgorged this year. We drank through three on Christmas and Boxing days and very good they were too - nicely rich, well balanced and with very fine bubbles. I have no doubt a bit more post disgorgement ageing would improve further, but drinking nicely and great VFM.

Thanks! I only picked up two bottles, wish I had bought six now!
 
The Lidl tour wines go on offer after the new tour starts. Usually this is around the third or fourth week of the month, so I would guess either 17th or 24th January. Pop in the day after and you should be fine. There is usually plenty of ice wine available - although they stock it every year I don’t think it’s that popular. I’ve still got quite a few £3.99 bottles left from previous years.
