where's the rip off?

Price has increased. It actually used to be more expensive a couple of years ago (€2.69) but was in the 5 for €10 offer. That changed after some legislation changed and it came down to €2.10 a bottle.

Its £2 - £2.40 in the UK https://www.sandhamswine.co.uk/old-speckled-hen-500ml-bottles/

With this attitude, no wonder they keep on increasing prices.

They aren’t legally obliged to refund the price charged at the till regardless of what the price on the shelf said. It being Tesco they obviously would refund, but there’s no legal obligation to do so.

I only realised it the next day when I went there again. Did not have the previous receipt, else would have challenged them.

The sad part was the staff (a student most probably) saw the wrong pricing on the shelf , but made no attempt to rectify it. Typical no care behaviour I guess.

Wrong or misleading pricing

Traders must not display false or misleading prices. If a trader makes a mistake and the actual price is more than the price displayed, you must be told the correct price before you pay. The trader does not automatically have to sell to you at the lower price. They must correct the mistake as soon as possible. It is an offence for the trader to knowingly charge more than the price displayed.

If you notice after that you were charged a higher price than what is displayed, bring this to the trader’s attention. You can ask for a full refund or a difference in the price.

Be aware when you buy online that the contract terms often reserve the right to cancel the transaction where there has been a genuine or obvious pricing error.

Tescos own brand manislav beer went from €2 to €2.15, it is a glass bottle but I expect it may be to do with trying to cover the costs of implementing the deposit nonsense, which must run into millions for them.

8 packs of bulmers are now 16.50 (+1.20 deposit), which have been 14.50 -15.50 for a very long time now. A fair few others have gone up compared to their usual prices. But the manufacturers will also have to put it up too, can't be cheap for them either.

O briens is usually cheaper, and most of their beer is very cold. The stuff on the shelves in tesco is noticeable warm, the little stuff in the fridges is barely below room temp.
