Supermarket promotions Q4 2021

If they are and if disgorged when mine say so then this should be spectacularly good vfm. I almost opened one on spec as we have friends here tonight and it arrived having been in the back of a cold van but was put off by disgorgement date.
 
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.

Well I’ve just taken two for the team, hopefully we can share one at some stage and find out !

I've put half a dozen in reserves, I suspect it won't be bad anyway and the value is good, but it would be useful to know how long to leave them. Is it true that recently disgorged magnums always benefit from time?
 
I couldn't resist a 6 pack of the Gosset, extremely good at £32 per bottle.

I'm half tempted to get a 6 pack of Henriot too, a house I've always enjoyed in the past, though a fairly damning verdict on more recent bottles by @Colin Bradley has put me off for now...

Having popped into branch today it seems they have tweaked the start date to Mon 22/11.
 
Compared with TW's own fizz, would you rather have any of these instead?
Castelnau Brut Reserve
Jules Camuzet Brut
Jean de Foigny Brut
Nyetimber Brut Classic

Honestly, No, I’d stick to TWS own.

Castelnau I actively dislike. Jules Camuzet rather too light and simple. I haven’t tried Jean de Foigny. Nyetimber can be decent but I have not had it for a while.

If one wanted to try a few and get a decent discount, the TWS mixed christmas champagne might be a good option or indeed the grower case. Both with good discounts. Castelnau and Boizel put me off ordering the former.

Many thanks, Oliver, v helpful indeed!
 
Vergelegen Premium Selection Cabernet Merlot for £6 on double discount at Tesco seems a generous offer. Not one of their top wines but it’s a bit of a crowd pleaser and most merchants have it around £11-13.
