Sarah Jessica Parker endorsed wine ffs - does it leave a cranky annoying after-taste like she does?

Rose is a wine type more often associated with hen parties and being gulped rather than savoured tbh

Jeremy Clarkson likes to swig 2 bottles of Leoube over lunch.

i personally would never buy a product with a "celebrity name" on it. im sure its good and all, but i'd much rather buy something else.

Sorry but that's BS. Rosé is a perfect warm weather wine and there are some excellent wines that aren't bottles of sugar aka Zinfandel. Some of the best Rosé out there at the moment is in Lidl and Also. Lidl Pinot Grigio rosé is decent and Aldi has loads of great bottles, my favourite is Quisco.

I'm not buying into the Whispering Angel fad, trendy for the sake of trendy.

As for booze bargains O'Brien's have good offers on prosecco and some champagnes at the moment.

I checked earlier in blanch, the had a box of 12 for 15 bucks or a box of 18 for 30 quid

That Tesco Peroni works out at 1.66 a bottle if you buy the 18 bottle box and just 1.25 a bottle for the 12 bottle box.

€18 in tesco too, not advertised as an offer so no end date up (yet).

€26 for a litre which works out €18.20 for 700ml

Thanks for that one. Carling is all 440ml since this pandemic - not sure why this is so. My local off license still charging the same price for the smaller cans.

I think 440 ml is a UK size, whereas we have 330 ml or 500 ml.

Rows Grower · 28-06-2020 04:59PM

I see a lot of deals starting to mysteriously arise again just as the pubs are due to re open.

I noticed the distinct lack of deals during the lockdown when supermarkets had the market cornered.

It's not that I'm complaining, bring on those deals, just an observation.

Claude Greengrass · 28-06-2020 06:55PM

The Diageo Budweiser contract finishes on Tuesday. I'd say Bud will be 8 for 10 more often given C&C are also the distributors of Becks and Stella, think the uk Bud is stronger too

elperello · 29-06-2020 03:10PM

Dunnes

12 x Carling 440ml cans €12.50

20 x Budweiser 300ml bottles €16

Jameson Caskmates IPA or Stout €30

dubstepper · 29-06-2020 04:18PM

I'll never stop being amazed that people drink Budweiser. Any price is a rip off.

I've yet to come across any Peroni brewed in UK being sold here and i've bought and checked every box since I was made aware of it. The 24 pk i bought was brewed in Bari and is clearly identified on the box.

Got stung by the moretti though, knew there was something off about the 12pk bottles taste compared to the 660ml only for someone here to say it about the UK licensed brewing.

Carry out Clondalkin doing Moretti 500ml cans for 1.99, brewed in Italy

I had a Diageo Tech guy in my old bar cleaning the lines one day. I told him customers complained there was a funny taste from Bud. He said well there should be no ****ing taste off that, its water. Its made from rice ffs its not even beer

Not yet.

Trying to slim down a bit after plumping up during the lockdown.
Will definitely try it at some stage though. Fed up of waiting for the XXL Perlinbacher to come back in.

I would say that Rheinbacher from a bottle or can beats the Germany-brewed XXL Perlenbacher.

obviously when I say from a can I mean drinking from a glass!

possibly a tiny bit crisper from a bottle but that could be just a mind trick

recommend to try both can and bottle - both good

Claude Greengrass · 30-06-2020 03:09PM

I've heard beer is fresher from a can as no light gets in to harm the hops and also air can get in under a bottle cap.

Claude Greengrass · 01-07-2020 08:01PM

Tesco Dun Laoghaire still have the Peroni 24s for 25 quid, bout 17 boxes left
