The Best Deal on Beer/Wine/Spirits this Xmas

Popped into our local Wine Rack, which is part of the Thresher Group.

Each shop is doing a 'Family & Friends of Wine Rack Employees' Offer.

The offer is off all products and promotions (excluding BOGOF deals).

There's £5 off all Malt Whisky
30% off wine, champagne and beer
10% off spirits and liquors.

Discounts apply between 5-11th December.
Pre ordering is advisable
Free delivery over £100.

The offer is not available on line and you will need to go into the shop directly and ask about it.

Example prices:

Carling/Fosters Lager 24x440ml case. Normally £14.99 Offer £10.49
Grolsch 24x300ml case. Normally £13.99. Offer 2 cases for £14
Baileys Irish Cream Litre. Normally £17.49. Offer £10.79

I've got my eye on a large quantity of Hardy's Voyage which came into the shop yesterday at £4.49 a bottle, but is due to go on a 3 for £10 offer next week.
Under the 'F&F offer' this will become 3 for £7

This link will let you check if there is a local off licence near to you.

    If it was a choice between warm cats urine and carling, even cheap carling i'd have trouble deciding which to drink

    You said:- So are you suggesting slipping a wine rack employee a free bottle so they become your friend
    No, I am just a regular customer who goes in every once-in-a-while. It was one of the staff that gave me the information.


    N9eav You said:- Sainsburys had Hardy voyage on offer this week too. Find a freind who is a staff member and get it for £2.80 a bottle
    This offer is 3 for £7 or £2.33 a bottle and you don't need to make friends with anyone!


    thepearce You said:- Baileys is £9.88 - £9.99 in Tesco, ADSA, Sainsburys at the mo BTW.
    I'm sure that there are other 'one off' deals that are cheaper, however my point is that this is 30% off everything. Not just headline discounted one offs!


    dhargreaves You said:- 2 x 24 cases Carlsberg Lager (440 ml) for £20 at Asda.
    Ditto. I would rather buy my Christmas alcohol from one place in one shop in one go rather than search around for the best deal on each item and visit half a dozen different shops to buy them


    gareth davies You said:- If it was a choice between warm cats urine and carling, even cheap carling i'd have trouble deciding which to drink
    If you put it in the fridge and let it cool to 5C, it should taste better.....apparently :-D

    Is this only available in a "wine rack" store or can you go into any store in the Thresher group?

    I live half a mile from an independant wine & beer shop and they currently have several different wines on offer - 6 bottles for £10.

    Only found 1 sort that I'm not too keen on, the others are brilliant.
    Normally retail for £4 to £6 each.

    Also have a vast range of beers and lagers from which I make a selection that never exceeds 75p per litre.
