Off-licence chain Threshers is braced for an onslaught of bargain-hunting drinkers as an online discount voucher is downloaded by millions of people...... The 40%-off wine and champagne voucher was intended for suppliers and their friends, but has been distributed widely via blogs, email and chatrooms.

    "Despite the size of the discount, he still expected that Threshers would make a profit on the offer."

    Aaaargh! :wall: You're all being taken for a ride! They've finally worked out how to take advantage of supposed MSE's.

    Threshers are a rip-off. They offer a 33.3% discount all year round when you buy 3 bottles, but you only get a competitive price when you buy 3 bottles, otherwise you're getting completely ripped off. So what is a 40% discount in reality?

    a 6.67 percent discount. Oh what a bargain. :wall:

    Please guys, just use Tesco, there are true bargains to be found there with the discount codes on offer. :(
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
  • Nice bit of marketing byThreshers.

    It would have cost millions to buy the amount of media coverage they've had for noithing and they will have reached many people a normal campaign wouldn't have.
