Northern Ireland

Tesco are offering 25% off 6-or-more bottles of wine or champagne up North right now.

Obviously, we shouldn't be going North for Covid related reasons- however, if you have a genuine reason to be there- makes sense to pop into Tesco.
Their 'finest' Sauv-blanc is particularly nice.

Yes indeed, time to stock up before Christmas and any looming regulatory changes in January to alcohol discounts.
It's only the Graham Norton Sauvignon Blanc in the deal, just watch out for that - the shiraz and prosecco aren't included.

The Dada chocolate & malbec are both included, can't remember seeing them in the deal before.

The Madiran used to be one of my favourite wines from Tesco, a crunchy tannin heavy beast but it's now been softened into just a quaffing wine

Yes you are better off to run off 2 seperate cards, that cuts down the take to 50% per card and means more vouchers per card than if you just used 1 as they want to encourage low spenders to spend more, you will still get the same overall points :pac:

FLOOPER · 15-10-2020 06:32PM

Guinness I’m tesco. 8 cans 500ml 12 euro. Not bad with a voucher

Can I assume that stores will up the ante with the deals next week as it’s BH.

The way things are at the mo it’s looking like last chance to stock up until the Christmas.

My God. It’s just as I say that now it’s hitting home that we’ll be here drinking In our cells till who knows when with little chance of parole.

I've a series of 10 off 50 vouchers from a club card mailing, one each for the next few weeks, so I fear I've no choice but to spend 80 euro between at least this week and next to get 12 bottles. I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse you! I guess I'll compromise that I thank you, though my liver will curse you!

5% is normal outside of this oddity of a market where 4.3% is king, and the UK where it is even weaker.

It could be imported from a non approved distributor, or if it was red cans I think they were some soccer related thing for man u or liverpool. They were on sale at high prices but might have to off load them now.

Thanks a million for tip off. Wondered why I got very little vouchers. It's like the dual pricing in insurance- loyalty means very little.

Where’s the best place to buy vanilla vodka? Any good Dealz on it and also creme de cacao white?

Surreptitious · 16-10-2020 03:59AM

Absolut do a vanilla vodka. Try Dunnes or Tesco

SteelyDanJalapeno · 16-10-2020 06:39AM

Vanilla Vodka, what a time to be alive

New government rules from mid January.
Won't be able to get or spend loyalty discounts related to alcohol sales.
Won't be able to use spend X save Y vouchers for them.
I think multi-buy deals on alcohol may also be gone eg buy 6 for 50 but could be wrong on that.

Don't want to take thread off topic with my thoughts on that, the takeaway is stock up now on these kind of bargains, you may not see them again.

Not sure if the use of spend & save vouchers will be no more as they don't seem to be covered in the legislation but multi-bottle wine offers like six for €40 or €50 will definitely be banned from 11th January next.

As you say, stock up now!

Yes and with the Guinness cans now the same physical size as normal 500ml cans it's much easier to stack them with other cans when building a wall of beer, no need to have single rows of Guinness crates in your stockpile, lol.

I also did not think the 10 off 50 vouchers were included but its a bit vague, it could be a "similar benefit"

the award, whether directly or indirectly, of bonus points, loyalty card points, or any similar benefit,

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2020/si/4/made/en/print

They can certainly still have deals, like a pick & mix of 6 bottles for €40, as long as those bottles are not available for sale individually. There could be other ways around it, like if the bottle was the same wine but a different barcode is it legally a different bottle? They could overlabel bottles themselves to do this -though it would look bad in the press.

Guinness are allowed to list their alcohol as 4.1% even if its the regular 4.2% (as there is an allowable tolerance), so that would be a different product.

Discounted prices must last for 3+ days.
