It’s big up north and in Kerry bizarrely enough.

I'm from Tralee & I've never heard of anyone drinkin it!
Never seen much of it in Killarney either!

I remember it being common enough in rural North Kerry pubs but I haven't seen it on draught in yonks, outside of Norn Iron.

Jeez I've not seen it anywhere in a long time - Cronins seems to have taken off in Kerry alright but most drinkers follow country wide trends, from my experience

Not really a bargain but the cheapest I've seen in Ireland since the Supervalu debacle, Whelehans Wines have Whispering Angel for 25 per bottle.

Other off licences are charging 30-35.

What's the story with Carling sold out or not in most supermarkets etc

Its in a few pubs in Dingle and Temple bar so apart from the north you could say its just in touristy spots and the odd old school pub. Has a terrible name historically but i love it.

They do promote it but only up north. Its in practically all irish pubs in America so i imagine Ireland is a fraction of its sales.

I’ve seen it plenty of places in Tralee, I had a pint of it recently in Tralee. Awful stuff.

Dunnes now doing their Spirits offer of 25e per litre on Powers/Gordons/Smirnoff and Captain Morgan. Works well with the everlasting voucher.

Whats the everlasting voucher??

10 off 50, and when you spend the 50 you get another voucher for the same again, I assume.

Spend €50 you get a voucher for €10 off your next spend of €50.
When you spend the next €50 you get another voucher and so it goes on and on.

Lidl has the Mythos Greek beer back in offer, 2euro for 2 33cl bottles.

Atlantic Dawn · 22-05-2020 02:52PM

Dunnes have the 650ml Heineken 5% same as Tesco 4 for €10.

snowgal · 22-05-2020 02:55PM

Have to say, was in Dunnes, Tesco and Supervalu over the past 2 days and the offers on booze is really shocking. esp wine for me, always get bottles on offer but none of the usuals in the past while. I know theyre making hay while the sun shines etc but it is bad for this time of the year!

As someone who does a yearly booze cruise to France which wasn't possible this year, I'm leaning heavily on kooliburra reserve Shiraz from aldi. At €4.99 a pop and 14% volume, it ain't half bad. Good reviews on vivino also

Dunnes is expensive as so many are using those vouchers that they have to be.

Tescos 8 for €10 500ml can offers end on the 24th, might be some new ones then.

At the moment 8 for tenner
rockshore lager
coors light
carlsberg
bulmers light
bud regular
hop house 13
rockshore cider
orchard thieves
guinness (though shows as out of stock for me)

so tray of 24 for €30

Dunnes is selectively expensive. The vast majority of what I buy there is no more expensive than the other supermarkets even before the value of the coupon is taken off so I make a genuine saving.

Couldn't do all my shopping there though so I'll alternate between Dunnes and Lidl/Aldi. The current extension of validity of Dunnes vouchers to 21 days helps a lot in that regard.

Agree on the current lack of wine offers. Very disappointing.

It's decent enough but should be cheaper than 3 euro a litre, really.

Shhh! Don't tell everyone! :-)

For a fiver you can't go wrong. It's no world-bearer, but ut certainly does me.

vicwatson · 22-05-2020 05:13PM

Guinness 6 for €10 in Lidl, not great I know but.....

Andrew00 · 22-05-2020 06:17PM

I find the REALLY big supervalus have the best selection of drink etc

Like in most if not all lidls you can't get Moretti and there's a limited choice

sasta le · 22-05-2020 06:38PM

My mate got caught with Supervalu saw Stella bottles on offer and they were 284ml size a first for me

There's a merlot for the same price called Grapevine and it's also grand stuff if you're looking for a bit of variety..

I think all Kooliburra wines in Aldi are underrated gems
