Booze deals [Megathread #2]

decent selection of wines are 1/3 to 1/2 price in Tesco

I'd be very very wary of so called "half price" wines in Tesco.

They tend to be marked up ridiculously so that they can "claim" half price.

If you see "winemakers selection" or something similar, you can take it that its not a genuine offer. Same with their own brand "Domaine Arnaud" - utter muck and not worth a fiver.

Thanks for this, just picked up a few bottles of gin.

Is there anything in Tesco worth getting (serious question).

Dunnes is way better for wine than Tesco.

Bushmills 10yo @ €30 😁

But generally their "offers" are products that are marked up dramatically for a short period and then marked down as an offer. Wines and toiletries are the two areas where this is so glaringly obvious.

24 Carlsberg for €15 ^^^ - that's got to be a new low?

Did you mean caskmates, the black barrel is 30

I picked up a bottle last year, can't remember which store, one of the Tescos on northside Dublin.

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 75Cl - Groceries - Tesco Groceries

Got some of that vineyards merlot/shiraz wine in tesco for 3.33. I guess it's fine for that price.

Also some seltzer reduced to 1e. But sold out. Clearances coming up to D-day should be interesting

Sign up to get a tesco UK club card.

Put in a random address and phone number and they'll email you one.

Sainsbury and tesco probably your best bet.

12x330ml bottles 12 euro SuperValu until 15th December

Moretti

Tiger

Corona regular / corona light

Fundamentally is there any particular reason for the current low prices? 15 euro for a slab of Carlsberg and 17 euro for 70cl bottle of smirnoff for example is exceptional. My understanding is that MUP is coming in in January.

Second question bought a slab of Guinness and San Miguel any reason why Guinness slab has a year less sell by date (this seems typical...)

Jameson 70cl €18 Tesco.... don't try and buy it before 11am.

Im cheating... my click and collect order being picked right now hopefully!

Is Lidl’s 12 beers of Christmas stocked anywhere, not appearing in my local as yet.

I opened a bottle of the Abrahan scotch from Lidl yesterday. It’s very pleasant.

Fruit cakey, slightly sweet and there’s a very small hint of smoke. The whiskey itself is not at all harsh which is mental for a €20 whiskey.

A lot of people think all scotch is mad Smokey/peaty. This is not that at all. As I said it has a very small hint of smoke but it in no way resembles anything like an Islay whiskey.

If you’d told me it was a €30-€35 bottle I’d have believed you.

I’ll be picking another bottle up the next time I go for a Lidl shop.

Yeah our off licence times need a serious review now, god forbid you’d be out doing your shopping on a Sunday morning before 12:30 instead of at mass or kissing the bishops ring 🙄. Ridiculous in this day and age.

Maybe a bit low brow for the refined connoisseurs of the boards.ie bargain booze thread but Lidl are selling their Rachmaninoff vodka for €9 for 70cl, its the blue bottle which I believe is slightly more "premium" than the red version, perfectly fine vodka tbh and nice and smooth for 40% instead of 37.5, it'll do for house parties anyway. Im stocking up a few cases while the goings good, €9 for something that would beat Smirnoff in a taste test? Never thought we'd see these prices in this country again, tbh I thought they were illegal these days...

Wasn’t €9 in my lidl when in today.

I got a couple last week as it reduce from regular ~ €16 down to €12. Something,

it’s alright aswell

Cheers

will be checking tomorrow
