    You need to be quick because they don't seem to carry much stock of anything. They ran a French wine promo the other week and most stuff was gone the first day.

    IMHO... Very very sweet wines. Horrid muck.

    Also low stock due to some people buying multiple cases even with Lidl limits.

    Is that a better deal than €2.50/l?

    You could do the maths, but no that works out at €3/l, unless you have a preference for bottles

    15/(12*.500)=€2.5/l vs 20/(20*.330)=€3.03/l

    Looks like SuperValue have an exclusive for them here.
    €12.99 seems on the high side for it especially looking at reviews which are average (3.8/5).
    Single bottles of either are €9 until 24th March

    The malbec is lovely, that's a decent price for it. Carignan if available also worth a try, can you mix and match?

    I would say not. Multibuy deals are gone now so unless there is a case of the Carignan (also v nice) it may not be on offer.

    Not sure if reasoning is they don't want the brewers up in arms if price is too low or if they are afraid of backlash in the media if price too low. Either way it's a proper pain. I'd imagine it's €20 for Carlsberg and either €24 or less for the Guinness. We will need to send a spy behind enemy lines this weekend to find out :D.

    Does it have 1L=2.08 in the ad, that would make it €25 a crate which would be same price as currently in Dunnes for Carlsberg and Guinness, additionally in Tesco Carlsberg is €1 a can loose.

    The current deal on crates in Dunnes started on Saturday, I'm not too sure if this started on the same day, earliest crates deal can finish is end of the day tomorrow, should be a good chance that is on until tomorrow at least.

    Not sure where you're seeing those prices. Tesco did have slabs of Guinness and Carlsberg a few weeks ago for €26, they were up to €40 full price last weekend. I went to Dunnes and the Carlsberg was 30 and the Guinness 32...

    Edit - seeing the previous page now, it was Friday I was in so I missed it.

    i bought the guinness i saw in limerick today for €25 (along with €50 worth of food, so got €10 off the bill - so Dunnes tells the govt i spent it on food, i tell myself i spent the voucher on the guinness. And everyone is happy.)

    I like your thinking :)

    The Dunnes I was in yesterday had Heineken, Carlsberg, Budweiser and Guinness all half litre cans, case of 24 for €25.
