    Morrisons supermarket has the same for only £13.89:
    Bombay Sapphire Gin only £11.25 for one whole litre with FlyBe!!

    Unfortunately this is only available for flights to/from non EU countries. But might be worth checking prices on airline (and ferry company) websites if you're going to the Channel Islands, Switzerland, Norway or further.

    I find this offer particularly useful living in Jersey. Got whole cupboards full of the stuff - but don't worry it won't go out of date with me!

    Nettos own version of Baileys hits the spot for me at £3.99 a bottle!!

    Their own-brand peach liquer is also very good - lovely mixed with lemonade and orange juice. About £3 a bottle I think - bargin compared to Archers.

    They also have good wine offers, recently I've bought Blossom Hill on 4-for-£10 and Hardy's chardonnay fizz for £4.99. Sadly both previous week deals, but check their website for what's supposedly on the shelves this week (also has store locator) : http://www.netto.co.uk/

    You spent twenty thousand francs on this !!!!!!??

  • Has anyone tried the Bollinger Special Cuvee £24.99 when you buy three bottles at Bottoms-up (Blue store livery)?

    I'm only a poor 004 & Piper H or Veuve C are more my league; would like to try upgrading but am sceptical about the "Special Cuvee" - obviously the stuff that didn't make the grade for a vintage.
  • For real ale lovers Aldi are offering "Rosey Nosey" Christmas ale at £1.29 a bottle. "Piddle in the Hole" is still only 99p a bottle at Morrisons + they also do 4 bottles of real ale (Pick n Mix) for a fiver -much cheaper than any other supermarket chain -unless, of course, you know better...............
    All thresher group eg. the local, wine rack etc etc always do 4 for £5 on the ales

  • If you open a Smile Bank Account you get a voucher for a case of wine (12bottles) with over £50.
  • Tesco's are doing 1 litre of Harveys Bristol Cream sherry for £4.99
    That's life, it's just the way it is :)
  • Bollinger is a top NV Champagne halifox, far better than Piper and (for me) has the edge over VC. Got a case of 6 at just under £20 a bottle in recent Costco passport deal.
  • And for the younger generation Asda are currently doing a two for £5 offer on all 70cl mixer bottles, e.g. peach/raspberry schnapps, Bacardi Breezers, Red Square ect. And 2 for £5 on Fosters 4 x 440mls.

  • Where's the best place to get deals on Baileys/ I want to get one mint one and one caramel one... Near me I have Sainsburys, Sommerfield and at a push can get to an ASDA.

    Thanks
