Ocado wine question

Hi all,
I signed up for the Crowdity thing and hence signed up for Ocado - genuinely hadn't used them before.
I thought I'd just buy some wine so was pleased to see an offer which runs until 28th where it's 25% off when you buy 6 bottles or more. I then tried to look for the wines that were already "on offer" only to find that there aren't any. They're all full price. A phone call confirmed this, although I'm not sure I was talking to the sharpest tool in the box.
My point being, if you want to buy 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 bottles of wine at Ocado right now you'll be paying full whack. There are no offers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when other places have had a bulk buy offer on, you can include bottles that are already discounted towards the required number. With Ocado it's only bottles of wine over £7 that count towards the required number anyway, so it's not like you can throw in 6 bottles of cheap plonk and then get a 25% discount.
Can anyone confirm that I'm getting this all right? It does seem very strange for a supermarket, online or otherwise, to basically say to its wine customers - "you have to bulk buy to get a discount". You can't just buy one bottle that's had a couple of quid knocked off.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Most people got wine for around £4 per bottle - less 50% = £2 per bottle. They may have ran out in your area - which is why many ordered yesterday.
You have to buy 12 bottles too online, according to the TV advert. But 12 bottles delivered for £24 , with £7.50 cashback aswell, is a good deal.0
