I found the below quote, is it now certain that a slab of 500ml beer will cost minimum € 42.26 from Jan 11th?

"a bottle of spirits could not be sold for less than €21,
a bottle of wine could not be sold for less than €7, and
a pint of beer could not be sold for less than €2." from
drugsandalcohol.ie

The minimum unit part isnt in effect yet just the parts on alcohol and no more loyalty points, coupons, multibuy discounts and 1-2 day only offers.

Hard to find a cheap enough Champagne

Centra have one for €15 but none of my local ones have it

Tesco have a few offers, 3 for 20 and 3 for 25 including the Graham norton stuff. Picked up 2 bottles of moet in there today for 50 euro, had a ten euro voucher so two for €40 was excellent

Prosecco is not champagne though ha

Having a look around, I'll be drinking it on my own so 1 bottle will do

Tesco and SV have bottles of Louis D Brut for €20

Ended up getting a bottle of comte de senneval for €19.70

Might as well have something exciting for NYE lockdown

Anybody see any Slabs of Carlsberg around?

Tried a Dunnes today they had none and just looked at Tesco online saying none .

Thanks

There were loads in Lidl 2 for 33 few weeks ago. I haven't seen them since Tesco had them before Christmas.

I got the Bombay Bramble for 26 roughly. I hope it's nice.

Cans are always better value i find, Bottles are so small

Don't get me started about the price of Corona in pubs (remember them ??)

The Tesco 4 for €10 offer on pint bottles of Peroni/Birra Moretti and Estrada is one of the best offers around, proper pub sizes

A friend of mine is wondering is it possible to purchase harp in cans anymore

The Tesco Finest prosecco is excellent, it's normally 18 euro so at a tenner each or 3 for 25 it's a serious bargain.

Tesco often show none online and I think it is just to stop people ordering loads for delivery, they want to drag people into the shop to buy other stuff.

I wonder if you can ring the local shop and ask. I would love if shops had online live streams, but of course the GDPR crap would be an issue. There might be software to stop that though.

I presume, if multi buy is being ousted and if a single can of guinness is 2euro, this will mean slabs will be 48 euro and no more 8 cans for 12euro deals. craft beer industry will take a big hit if the 4 for 10 quid deals go
