Can anyone recommend a good white wine from supervalu? I'm not much of a wine drinker, usually have a few bottles of pinot grigio but not familiar with the range in SV.

I'm not a white wine drinker but my wife loves Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, often on special and 25% off 6 at the moment.

It's 10:30 on Bank Holidays except St Patrick's Day.

And there are special rules for 23rd and 24th December to have weekday hours in case they fall on a Sunday - but they don't kick in this year.

I like the Emotivo reds from Italy, I see they have a Pinot Grigio also.
Brancott Estate have a nice Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.
Oyster Bay also mentioned is nice.
All currently €10.

Graham Norton Sauvignon Blanc is €12.

If you're pushing the boat out, some Supervalus have this Sauvingon Blanc from actress Sarah Jessica Parker, which is lovely (and would have buzz factor as a present).

Plus Supervalu have €15 off if you buy 6 bottles.
Tesco & Dunnes have 25% off 6 bottles.

Anyone any idea how much Bulmers is currently in Dunnes ? Thanks in advance.

Grumpypants · 22-12-2020 11:54am

About 50 slabs of Guinness 500ml in Tesco oranmore. 2 for 35 deal back on.

celticfc · 22-12-2020 12:06pm

At least a couple of pallets of 500ml Guinness slabs available this morning at €20 each or 2 for €35 in Hillcrest Tesco (Just off the N4 at Lucan, Co. Dublin)

Seve OB · 22-12-2020 12:30pm

for Sauvignon Blanc you won't beat the original, Sancerre.
SV have it marked down to €15 which is a very good price for any Sancerre.
less €15 if you are buying 6.
Add in some shop and save vouchers could get you a further €15 off if you are savy enough.
€60 for 6 bottles of Sancerre is unreal as you would do well to get a bottle in the Sancerre region for anywhere near a tenner.

If that's the Guy Saget one they usually do it's pretty nice and great value at €15 even before the deals / vouchers etc

yes it is

dubstepper · 22-12-2020 3:18pm

Is there a difference between Tesco branches? I went into my local and they weren't running the 2 for 35 when people said it was in other branches. Does anyone know if that is the case?

fin12 · 22-12-2020 3:27pm

So from January on no offers on booze:

So at the moment you can buy 4 bottles of swithwicks for €10 . In january will I have to pay €3.65 each for a bottle going forward from January ?

Yes.
You may still see offers such as Smithwicks for €3 each but you won't see any offers such as 4 individual bottles for €10.
I'm a bit unclear if they released an actual 4 pack product, as that's a different stock item, could that be sold for €10 - based on below, I think they could be as it wouldn't count as the purchase of 'another' product.

It could be in the system and not advertised on the shelf. They obviously did not want to sell any cases as they were unwrapping them and making it awkward for people.

A trick is to use the self scanner, this should show up any deals as you go. But you have to scan the can 48 times!, this can be done quickly enough once you are at the perfect distance just trigger away. They can do it at the self scan section and type it in for you. I use self scan a lot when using vouchers as it lets me just get barely above the voucher limit without having to tot it up myself.

That’s going to be very expensive buying swithwicks by the bottle. Thanks. I will stock up on it.

Aldi have a great Sancerre, exquisite range, always around €14.99 but is €10 at the moment, it’s a super wine

From 11th January no discount on alcohol, will not be able to use Dunnes 10 off 50 etc etc. Decided a year ago with a lead time to help us all get used to it. See https://www.mhc.ie/latest/insights/food-beverage-update-no-loyalty-points-for-drinking

Aldi are doing sancerre at the moment for €10 a bottle but you're right, it's unbelievable value. Most decent sancerres start at north of €25.

Is this the sancerre you on about. Might try pick up a few bottles of it tommorow if in stock. Is it 10 or 10:30 that the off licences can open from. Pity thy don't allow the supermarkets serve from earlier for xmas week alone as it's a pain if doing the groceries early in morning to avoid the rush.

I got a couple of them a few weeks ago for 10 blips each. Weren’t bad at all.

Man Vs ManUre · 22-12-2020 8:24pm

Lidl still has the Stella Artois 24 bottles for €18. This is a great deal and it’s a fine lager. I find the hangovers are ok with it. Only negative I have is the paper you need to rip off from the lid, what is the point of having that there??

That's the one. 10.30 is the off license opening time. It's great value.

POBox19 · 22-12-2020 8:32pm

Just got screwed by Tesco Omni on 2 slabs of Guinness, big flashing sign above a stack €20 each or 2 for €35, checked the receipt for 2 charged €40.
Be careful out there.
Also, saw in there Baileys 1ltr with a sign €13, in very small print it said 70cl.
Be very careful out there.

I think CarryOut has Carling and Bud for 24 roughly. I haven't seen much Carling around. Heineken 24 in Tesco and Bud Carlsberg 20

This evening it's €20 in Dunnes Roscommon for Guinness 470ml and Carlsberg 500.
€30 for Coors light.

Anyone see a good deal on a whiskey that will solely be used for hot whiskies so doesn't need to be anything special.

Thanks

Mimon · 22-12-2020 10:56pm

Drink related - Does anywhere have organic lemons? Tried them a few months back and they have no wax so far nicer in a hot whiskey. Tesco don't seem to stock them now.

StaticNoise · 22-12-2020 10:57pm

Lidl sell them. Not sure about stocks or the availability.

This might be an unpopular opinion but anytime I get sick I head to Lidl and get the Queen Margot whiskey, one is 15 the other 19 and I find it grand for hot whiskey. I actually prefer the cheaper one. I'm not a whiskey drinker though so wouldn't know the difference.

12.30 Sunday’s

Yep, I got it Monday. The 700ml was 18 last week and 1L 30. 700ml is 20 (I think) this week, so prices are changing very often.

I was just looking at supervalu wines online, the buy 6 get â‚¬15 off is on a very limited range. Might be different in store but I doubt it. Was going to go there after work to stock up, don't think I'll bother now. Dunne's or Tesco have 25% off any 6 bottles.

I think it applies to all their wine.

nantony98 · 23-12-2020 9:54am

I believe you are right, I clicked on a "all in this offer" tab and it showed a limited range but in reality all of the wines seem to be included.

paddyh117 · 23-12-2020 10:11am

6 wines for €20 from a selection in Lidl until tomorrow
