    morrisons are doing a tasting demo of this on saturday, well they are in my store anyway, and quite a few others, dont ask me to name them:D
    Take every day as it comes!!
  • According to the guys on the stand at the Good Food Show, Tesco's should be stocking it soon.

    Tastes great. Had to keep going round and getting another glass at the B'ham Good Food Show. They made it with ice and lemon, delish..... :)

    Yes, B+M had them in store for £1.69 the other day.

    i'm hooked on this stuff after just 3 bottles .( Morrisons 3 for £5) very nice taste . even my virtually Teetotal OH , liked the the taste .


    it markets itself as a summer type drink , but i think it is great for cosy winter nights in front of the TV .

    is a tad expensive @ £1.99 a bottle , but i will be buying more at 3 for £5

    come on Tesco and start stocking it . we need double card points on this one , and a price of around £1.69
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:
  • Sainsburies still had it on 2 for £3 yesterday but they were running out stock :-(

    I agree that I don't see it as a summer drink but as christmas curled up on the sofa!
    Mind you as a small child i used to love drinking ginger ale as it was warming and made me feel grown up (my parents had it as a whisky mixure) and when a little older discovering stones ginger wine with lemonade which might be something for all you crabbies lovers to try and is tastes very similar in my memories. Plus I think ginger wine is quite cheap to buy (less than a £5 a bottle).

  • Thank you. I like it too
  • This stuff contains artificial sweeteners.

    I was looking forward to trying it but wasn't impressed. Way too sweet and not enough of a ginger taste. I may try it again over ice as suggested but I felt let down by it!

    Ginger wine is also nice mixed with dry ginger ale to warm you up when you come in from the cold !!

    I've bought the Crabbie's from Sainsbury's too.
