Wine by the case?

anonymousie

Need to get some wine for Xmas. Maybe 24 bottles? Dry White, fruity red. Mixture of bottles would be fine.

My " normal" wine buying strategy is to get what ever is allegedly £10 or o reduced to half pricd:o

Had a laithwaites groupon but couldn't get it to work...( couldn't buy it)

Seen any good deals ?

Thanks.

That's why supermarkets sell cheap £5/bottle wine as "£10/bottle reduced to half price". They put their own label on it and won't sell it anywhere else, so you'll never find out the "real" value of the wine. The only thing to take notice of is the actual price they're selling it for.

I have expensive tastes and have realised that I can't afford to drink the kind of wine that I want to! But... when I did drink wine, I found that Majestic Wines and Bottoms Up shops were pretty good. They had tasting sessions/days that gave you the opportunity to try a few wines to see what you liked.

I had a subscription to Laithwaites at one point, but I didn't like their wines as much as another company I used before (sorry - forgotten the name).

And for the love of all things Christmassy, avoid cork-sealed bottles like the plague if you're buying from an incompetent supermarket where they store the bottles upright. Waitrose seem to be the only supermarket with any idea of how to store wine.

Also, Naked Wines and Virgin Wines. There should be a few vouchers knocking about as well.

Try seaching Discount Codes 'n Vouchers and/or HotUKDeals. There's also a search box for discount codes near the bottom of this page.

I've tried both Laithwaites and Virgin Wines, I did prefer Virgin Wines, wasn't overly keen on Laithwaites though. I guess it's down to preference.

Co-op also have wine tasting sessions as well. You could always contact them to find out when they run these.
