    Just done this, the wine is not labelled as part of the meal deal but goes through fine. Was a bit worrying when it totalled £60, but went down to £15.03 after! You can only get it for £13 if you get three gammons, as it also adds another deal in (3 for a tenner).

    On HUKD they did say the wine was on the wine aisle not with the meal deals, there are some people confirming they all bought Torretta Pinot grigio :)

    The Torretta will go nicely with the Turner Road I have stashed!

    You should get into the Yali deal :D

    torreta pinot g is def on the meal deal, see http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp?bmUID=1309441548092

    but not on the 3 for £12 so def a glitch there if working as reported.
    I love this site and all chums, but its making a dent in my bank account!!!

    Have lots of things I want, but dont necessarily need... Must DO BETTER!!! :A

    Yep, works for sure on the Toretta wines (Torretta Di Mondelli Nero D'avola 75cl,
    Torretta Di Mondelli Pinot Grigio 75cl) 3 x sides, 3x meals, 3 x desserts & 3 x vino.
    :O)

    Couldn't find a Rose it worked on though :o(

    The Torretta Di Mondelli Pinot Grigio 75cl is on an end isle in my sainsbury's as a 3 4 £12 deal,
  • Is it advisable to go through self serve with this?

    Do the SA's put a stop to your purchases otherwise?
