Bought into the hype and tried Invivo Sauvingnon Blanc (Sarah Jessica Parker's wine) and have to say was very impressed. Currently on offer at €15 a bottle in Supervalu. Bought 2 and had a 6 off 30 voucher so worked out at €12 a bottle. Would definitely buy again.

Bought into the hype and tried Kooliburra Shiraz (Aldi wine) and have to say was very impressed. Currently on offer at €4.99 a bottle in Aldi . Bought 2 and had no voucher so worked out at €4.99 a bottle. Would definitely buy again.

I dont really get what is going on here?

Is the wine in Aldi nice or are you just trying to wind up the previous poster?

ShatterProof · 05-07-2020 8:15pm

Was only messing with paraphrasing previous poster but the Kooliburra wine in Aldi is nice.

I'm speaking primarily about their reds, but Aldi wine is noticeably head and shoulders above Lidl, Tesco, and so on.

My regular ones were/are:

Animus €~7
Stellenbosch €~10
Grande Alberone €~10 (gutted they don't do this one anymore!)

cadaliac · 05-07-2020 9:41pm

Tesco 660 ml bottles of Heineken sold out everywhere. It’s over 5% and tastes much nicer than the regular stuff.
Only place I could get them, anyone know of any other place to get these?

Agreed that's a nice red for €10. Seems to come and go quickly. Haven't given up hope it'll eventually come back in stock.

Red stuff is 5%vol as opposed to 4.3% for the regular.

Still a bit of a con though!!!

I'd check the sell by date too. That stuff was ready to go on the shelves before Stevie Gerrard fell on his ass.

I was in just in Dunnes. They have it, but maybe not the same. It’s only 4.3%, same as regular bottles

Yes the feckers, just looking now at what I was drinking on Saturday night, the 4 of them were 4.3% :mad:, mind you when I got up Sunday I did feel rather refreshed. The previous 2 batches I got were all 5% from Dunnes, I still have the empties, they must have changed supply line, won't be getting it again if it's the 4.3%. Hopefully Tesco continue to sell it.

elperello · 07-07-2020 11:10pm

Yes.
Well always up to now so check.

brandonviewer · 08-07-2020 9:14am

The White Spanish Rioja at €3.99 a pop next Saturday and Sunday sounds like a good deal. The reviews are good. That's in lidl

Krombacher mini kegs (5 Litre) in super value for €25

Do I need a tap to get the beer out or is it auto dispensing?

auto dispensing
1-Pull bottom valve
2- Turn to pour into a glass (angle glass)
3- Ventilate

Imagine keep it cool somewhere

That's good for a strong quality lager.

I got caught a couple of years ago with the 3.8%. Freaked I was.

Sausage Tree Pure Irish Vodka 70Cl reduced from €49 to €35 in Tesco.

Not for me, but appears to be the lowest price this has been.

Man Vs ManUre · 09-07-2020 12:02pm

Anyone been to Newry recently?? Are there any deals for Kingfisher or Red Stripe lager up there?? I can never find these 2 beers in Dublin.

Yeah those cans are ****e

Depends on your tolerance but it would take a lot of them to get a buzz

Some places in the UK have that version on tap

They changed the 3.8 recipe last year, it's not bad 4 cans for a fiver in my local spar. I'm not sure if the Irish version underwent a change too but I've defo had some bad cans and with no white head. The unfiltered is tasty as is the export but only Newry based from what I can find

€35 is still a crazy price for a bottle of vodka imho. Almost everyone will be putting a mixer into it, some will stick it in the freezer, who is going to be drinking it neat at a temperature where they can actually taste anything? that's if there's anything to taste as vodka is supposed to be a very neutral spirit.

Now, there are any number of whiskeys which are well worth €35 or more when drunk neat or with a small drop of water, because you can actually taste it, but if you're going to stick Coke in it you might as well get the cheapest one you can find.

Picked up a box today, and just to confirm, they are made / brewed in Germany, not France.
Make sure you get The yellow top XXL box, not the regular green boxed stuff.
You will want to sit down after the 8 bottles, I don't care how much of a drinker you are. It really is astounding value for money. Really decent beer.

Claude Greengrass · 09-07-2020 7:58pm

Heineken, bud, Carlsberg 8 for 10 in Lidl in store. Magazine last week said it would be 6 for 10

You will find in a lot vodkas the price is directly proportional to the hangover, no matter what you mix it with.
Personally, Finlandia is the best value on the market, for me. Lovely vodka, pure and ok for the hangover.

Whiskey is different. Some cheap nasty whiskeys would literally kill you. Again, mixing is a sin with a half decent whiskey (water for me) but then I find when you go over a certain price point, it makes no difference how expensive it is - you will still get a hangover.

Is there no hangover or groggy head eyes from drinking vodka and mixer.
