Supermarket promotions Q2 2022

[Paul Benny]

This quarter's 25% off 6+ and similar promotions. These generally exclude Scotland and Wales due to local alcohol pricing legislation.

Usual conditions are
- excludes fortifieds;
- for online orders, the date of collection/delivery is the one that counts.
- Waitrose include fortified but suspend all other promotions for the duration

First announced is Asda from 1-18 April. They're also excluding Champagne but not other fizz
Expect JS and Tesco to run their promotions ahead of Easter and again ahead of the Jubilee bank holiday

On past form, Waitrose will have a week towards the end of June - but they too may move to align with the Jubilee.

That's a no from me then!

 

[Deiniol Morgan]

My local coop has Chateau Beau Site 2015 at £10 [ten] per bottle. Has slightly fewer now than it did an hour ago.

 

[Peta Radford]

Just to state the value of these threads.
Having picked up some 2014 Cristal during the Waitrose offer for what equates to £150 delivered, today I received an offer for the same wine for £1290 for 6 IB which is ~£260 delivered!

Yes, the supermarkets tend to negotiate long contracts on their pricing, it will re-adjust somewhat in the not too distant future.

 

[Paul Benny]

That's a no [to Asda] from me then!

I think it'll be a no for table wines as well. There might be some well hidden gems in their range - otherwise the highlight appears to be d'Arrenberg d'Arry's Original which comes out at £7.50.

 

[Paul Benny]

And indeed, as expected, Sainsbury 25% off 6+ 10-16 April

Jaboulet Viognier £8 -> £6 might be worth a go
Paul Mas 'Heritage' - Clairette de Languedoc is pleasant and a few pence less

Amongst the Champagnes Bollinger £39 before discount and Moet £34 make the own label BdN at £19.50 look worth a go. Used to get good reviews - not seen any comment for a while.

Bellingham Bernard series Rousanne was a good buy but has not been available for a while - don't know whether just sold out or delisted.

 

[Peter May]

And indeed, as expected, Sainsbury 25% off 6+ 10-16 Ap

Sainsbury's only just had one, it ended Sun 27 March and they weren't restocking shelves on that Sunday

Yep, but they’ve had offers close together before.

 

[Paul Benny]

And Tesco from today until 18 April. Clubcard required

In the Champagnes, before discount, they have Piper £25, Tattinger £34 and Lanson at £28.

 

[Mark Hardy]

I took the plunge and got some Ardenza 2012 from the majestic offer. 19.99 seems like a good price. I could not find any Magnums but I will call them tomorrow to see if they can find some for me

 

[Peter May]

Re Tesco:

Is the 25% off for six valid on the Clubcard price or is it only on the non Clubcard price?

 

[Michael Sheridan]

On the Clubcard price Peter

 

[Paul Benny]

Tesco have made most, if not all, of their promotions contingent on having a clubcard, including the 25% off 6.

 

[Paul Benny]

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’ve stopped shopping there entirely, don’t wanna join their club

I notice that the 14% Pinot Noir and Rioja are noted as "medium bodied"

Well I suppose they are if you drink port.

I really enjoy both those South Africans and they are especially good value at that price.

 

[Leigh Omer]

I've gone for 12 of the Ardanza 2012 also. I think this may well be Majestic's last promotion for the 2012s before they start replacing them with the 2015s.

 

[Graeme Harvie]

This is an absolutely screaming bargain.

Wild Turkey 101, a rye based bourbon bottled at 101 US proof, and it is currently £23 with a Tesco Clubcard discount. This is good enough to drink neat and takes water like a king. Aged 6 to 8 years and full of character. Easily the first Bourbon I have loved. Thank me later. Ideally from suitable glassware such as Glencairn or Sherry Copita.

 

[Tom Cannavan]

- Graham Beck fizz
- Rustenberg Chardonnay

Useful as I like both of these, and because not part of a multi-buy promotion, even available to the poor beleaguered Scots

 

[David Thomson]

Vergelegen, Cab/Merlot 2018 which was one of TCs wines of the week sometime last year. Picked up a couple in the Co-Op priced at £5.25. Probably a bit random as to which stores have it.

 

[Peter May]

On the Clubcard price Peter

Thanks, Michael

Tesco have made most, if not all, of their promotions contingent on having a clubcard, including the 25% off 6.

The one I was looking at online shows £8 as the Clubcard price, and £11 as the 25% off price, so it seems you can get 25% off without a Clubcard, but that would cost £8.25
With 25% off £8 that makes a bottle nominally £11 reduced to £6.

I'm in unless some greedy chappie has cleared the shelf...

 

[Michael Sheridan]

As Paul mentioned earlier, you can’t get the 25% off 6 unless you have a Clubcard now. So it’ll be £11 for any without or £6 for anyone with
