    Supposed to start tomorrow but in my local store (Ballyfermot), they were putting them out.

    I just got some 2016 Beaujolais Villages, 75cl 2017 Rubicone Sangiovese and 2014 Autentica Reserva Rioja. There were others I wasn't interested in.

    They only had about 12 cases out with a 50/50 mix of white and red. The sales assistant said they were overstock with an original price of between €20 - €40.

    Enjoy ;)

    You do know that the whole point of Beaujolais is to drink it young within 2 years?

    Not always, I've had other wines on special offer in Lidl that were well past their best. Blush wines are another that should be drunk young and an extra year can turn a good drinkable one to disgusting.

    On the whole their wins are fine but not all bargains are what the seem.

    My partner has just paid a visit to Lidl. We now have 17 bottles of mixed wine! There may be a few duds in there but for €5 each, we don't mind. It's like a lucky dip and part of the fun! We always have our ordinary wine stash to fall back on! ;)

    Its very easy to spot the gems. If they had any left they would be on the now empty shelves.

    No kidding, any decent wine anywhere in this country sells out really quickly.

    Often when there is a red and a white from the same vineyard one will sell out completely leaving the other on the shelf. Sometimes its the red sometimes the white you never know but the one thing you can be sure of is the one that sold quickly was the gem.

    Anyway whenever we get a decent bottle in Lidl and then go back for another there is never any left :(

    They have a special wine section for the decent wines. Some quite pricey ones there.

    Saint Emilion Grand Cru for €5? FOMO is kicking in.

    And, to other post, it's 1030 on Friday mornings for alcohol sales

    Right so contrary to my earlier post, all LIDLs will be closed until about... checks watch... 2pm tomorrow.
    Something to do with Brexit and Operation Yellowhammer, that sounds plausible.

    Yeah I should be finished my shop by then and cleared the shelves...
