Buying good quality wine cheap

NJW69

I've just ordered quite a lot of wine online from Tesco. I tend to get the ones I know first and then try others afterwards. I always search the 50% off ones first and get a few crates of anything I like. I have been saving my club card points and sent off earlier in the week to double them up for wine. (I know you can get 4 times the value on other things but I've never seen anything relevant). So I got £110 in vouchers for nothing, £10 off voucher that came in with my last club card vouchers and free delivery. They had a six bottle Christmas mixed case including a bottle of port, bottle of sparkly and red and white wines for £27 that I have bought for friends for Christmas.

Last week I ordered from Sainsburys as they had a great offer of 25% off any wine when you ordered over 6 bottles even if they were already on offer. Ordered the wines at 50% off and then with the additional 25% this made them really cheap i.e. £10 bottle for £3.75 but when my order was delivered they had run out of most of them.

Find the 3 for £10 ones at ASDA are generally not much good although occasionally they have something worth buying.

Its generally said that supermarket offers, particularly the half price ones arent such good offers as they seem.
Its been said that the prices are quite inflated before the 50% is taken off and the wine is probably worth no more than the reduced price at best(normally £3.99) anyway.
I guess really its all down to personal preference.
I am off to France and intend shopping around. No guarantee of getting the best wine at low prices but its fun and certainly cheaper.
