There’s a way to get six bottles of Torres wine for £27 (which is 25% off) and get 900 bonus Tesco clubcard points on top of the usual points – these can then be traded in for £36 of Tesco Rewards (or £18 of further Tesco Wine) which means you’re £9 up.
Important Update! 07 July 09. Loophole restocked, though not quite as good
In many stores the wine's sold out, unsurprising with over 300,000 viewing this thread in just a couple of days (see the Tesco swamped with MoneySavers news story) yet now it's restocking. However, the new deal isn't quite as good as you can no longer get 25% off six bottles or more, yet it still means buy a £6 bottle of wine and you get £6 in Rewards vouchers.
How does it work?
This is all about combining deals, Tesco has confirmed that they can be used in conjunction. The deals are as follows
Buy any 6+ bottles of wine before Sun 5 July, get 25% off (Update: now ended ignore in explanation below)
Buy a bottle of Torres wine (red, white or rose) and get 150 bonus clubcard points
Each 1 clubcard point while worth 1p in store can be swapped for 4p of Tesco Rewards.
So nip down to your local Tesco before Sunday buy 6+ bottles of Torres, you get the discount and the extra points, then you can swap them later for rewards. Though there’s no official limit on the number of bottles you can buy so you could get more (though it has a fair usage clause, so don’t go overboard!)
The offer's is now available online, however 25% off is only available when you buy a case of wine rather than six bottles individually. So if you want to buy online you can have either the points or 25% off, not both. You can see a picture of the wine here (http://www.tesco.com/superstore/xpi/9/xpi50985589.htm).
There's an alternative deal on Marques de Monistrol Vintage Cava Brut bottles are 10.99 each but you get 300 bonus points per bottle. Meaning for an £11 bottle you get £12 worth of Rewards (thanks to MoneySaver m_will for this top spot) do note this Cava can be bought cheaper elsewhere though.
What are Tesco Rewards?
They used to be called Tesco Deals, and they can be used to buy days out, RAC membership, magazine subscriptions and more (see Tesco Rewards page).
While each clubcard point is worth a penny if used for instore shopping, and they’re sent out in vouchers of a minimum £1 each quarter. Convert them to Rewards vouchers and they’re worth four times the amount to spend on days out, magazine subscriptions, holidays, gifts, hotel rooms and more.
Obviously the 'loophole' element of this only works if you can use the vouchers for something you'd buy anyway. Otherwise its just a good deal... one other option is if you're a wine connoisseur you can instead trade in 1 point for 2p worth of “Double Up” vouchers (so £18 worth in total), which you can use on more Tesco Wine.
Read the Loyalty Point guide for a detailed explanation of Tesco Points Boosting and how to maximise it.
Further boost if you already have Tesco vouchers
If you already have Tesco vouchers, then you can convert them into 'double up vouchers' and use that towards buying the wine in the first place. And you still get the extra points on top, as they're treated as cash.
Safe Drinking
This is a fun deal, but please drink sensibly... see Drink Aware for more info.

Hi
couldn't find this elesewhere. My partner has just called to say he is in Tesco, he has bought some Torres white wine, don't know the exact one, it's £5.99 a bottle but there's 150 points on each bottle. He bought 6 which after the current 25% discount was £27.99 and he got 903 points which as you know is worth £36 in deals. He's just gone back in for another 24 bottles, you can't have too much wine or too many tesco points, grab it while you can.

I make 6 bottles @ £5.99 = £35.94 less 25% = £26.96.
Have they done you for £1, or is it a typo? The website says 25 pts per bottle, mistake in store?

Can anyone help? I've never ever used a clubcard in-store (I know, I know) as I only ever order online from Tesco and then only when I can make a 'profit' on the deal (i.e. when there's a big bonus points code knocking about). Soooo...dug out my 'new' clubcard and the number on it in no way corresponds to the number on my various clubcard vouchers that have been sent (even though they are both in my name). I was very tempted to go for this deal but can I use the vouchers as well as collect the points on the clubcard even though the membership numbers aren't the same? TIA!

I think you will have to ring the clubcard helpline and get them to combine your clubcards, i could be wrong but i think that would be the only way that you will beable to redeem your vouchers instore.

I did read somewhere that they are going to be more and more extra points deals in the coming weeks. Personally I'm going to wait for a cheaper deal to maximise the profit margin.
Good deal for the winos though
