Supermarket promotions Q2 2022

[Ged Hodges]

Waitrose have ten £10 "fine wines", similar to the promotion they run early in December, running from now until 19 April.
Selection includes
- Villa Antinori,
- Graham Beck fizz
- Rustenberg Chardonnay

I bunged a Chard in my order of 24 fizz to bump the total to £250, to be able to get nominated day delivery on 16/4 but instead they sent 25 x Chardonnay a week early, today. No doubt the fizz will have run out by the time they send the replacement. lol

Is the Antinori any good?

 

[Mark Carrington]

Is the Antinori any good?

It used to be. Not tried any for a number of years.

 

[Michael Sheridan]

Is the Antinori any good?

I find it a consistently good performer across the vintages I’ve tried and very decent for the price point
Last I had was a bottle of 2018 in January this year that I enjoyed.

I think 2019s are currently on sale which was good-excellent vintage throughout most of Tuscany so I’d think it’s worth a go

Sainsburys again - 27 April-1 May.
No Champagnes on promotion.
Can't be combined with the current 'big points swap' Nectar promotion.

 

[Jon Cooke]

Paul do you know if any Sainsburys stores still stock Krug or any way of finding out? My local one has DP but does not stock Krug. Thanks

 

[Paul Benny]

There's an online stock-checker at https://stockchecker.sainsburys.co.uk/
It's actually a bit more informative than it looks at first sight - enter a likely store and then click through the product name.

Otherwise, their customer helpline might be able to assist.

 

[Jon Cooke]

Thanks Paul - that tool is very useful!

A whole slew of 25% off 6+ for the Jubilee weekend
- Tesco from 26 May-5 Jun (clubcard required)
- Sainsburys from 29 May
- Asda - seen reported but not visible online


Waitrose haven't brought forward their summer promotion. Current promotions end 7 June, so possibly the week after that.

Exiting a supermarket I decided to stop in at a nearby liquor store. Imagine my surprise when I spotted a range of older wines from a Sonoma winery all on clearance: Kunde Estate 2003 Merlot, 2004 Syrah, 2005 Cabernet, 2007 Viognier, and 2004 Reserve Old Vine Zinfandel from Shaw Vineyard, said to be one of the oldest Zinfandel vineyard in Sonoma. Each bottle was only C$13, which converts to £8.50!!!

I was a little apprehensive about the wines as I had no idea how long they had those wines but I thought they were worth a try. So far the Merlot and the Syrah were very pleasant, the fruit rather silky and the tannins fully resolved.

I see Majestic have an offer on champagne too. Usual form , brings it down to another uncompettetive price.

having just got back from Tescos and denuded them of Taittinger it was interested to note on the 6 packs “imported by Hatch & Mansfield”

Hi David,

H&M are the UK importer, so all stock purchases **normally** in the UK would have these labels.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks Steve. Is that sole ?

Indeed!

An update on the Asda promotion
"Asquith Gardens" English fizz is just £10 and (unlike Champagne) is included in the 25% off. The same producer, "Rolling Green Hills" is responsible for Morrisons own label English fizz. They are elusive online but appear to be in the same ownership as Nyetimber.

Also, for a retro vibe, Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay is £6 -> £4.50.

Oooohhh be careful with this one - here is my note from when I re-tried it a couple of years ago (which was entirely the fault of @Thom Blach ):

TN - So how bad can Lindeman's Bin 65 be???

Lindeman's Bin 65 Chardonnay, South Eastern Australia, 2019 (£6.00 Morrisons, 13.5% alc) Prompted by @Thom Blach on my oaky Chard thread, I picked a bottle of this up at a supermarket recently out of morbid curiosity. It has been probably 20 years or thereabouts since I last had this. For...

Tesco's Piper with a club card £18.75, Taittinger £25.

Sainsbury's Beronia Reserva 2017 £9 after discounts

I picked up 6 of these today, which came to the princely total of £44.96 after discount. I note on the label it claims to have been aged for 5 years after bottling, so I am hopeful of a decent wine.

We will try one in the next couple of days, after which 1 of 2 things will happen:

1) I spend the following 2 days tracking down and squirreling away more, or

2) it goes into the box of crap for Vicki's band of harpies to knock back in the garden

We shall see...

I predict the latter.....

Ramon Bilbao Crianza for £6 in Tesco is pretty good value.

 

[Mark Hardy]

Went into Costco today and found some 2014 Viña Arana Gran Reserva, La Rioja Alta, Rioja for 24 inc vat which seems a good price ?
Tasted very good but needed a couple of hours to really open up

 

[PhilWilkins]

Magnums of the flagship Mirabeau 'Pure' Provence Rose at TEE for £9.56 is 20% less than the 75cl asking price! Only 2 in my local store - fill your boots if you see some.

In store or Waitrose cellar?
