Woo hoo! tesco's wine glitch!

It worked for me on the reduced wines yesterday

Anon

For the previous time this worked, it used the original price (£6 a bottles, 3 for £12 etc - used £6 as the basis for the 25% discount). On supposed half price wines it just uses the half price as the basis for the 25% discount.

Are any wines currently matching Asda this time to get even more back through the price guarantee?

Many thanks

As has been pointed out, the higher the original price of the bottle, the better the discount.

There are loads of £9.99 bottles on a half price offer at £4.99, with a 25% discount buying in 6s it comes down to just £2.50 per bottle.

just wondering how the half price wines end up at £2.50 a bottle i get them to £3.74 a bottle.
6x4.99 = £29.94 - 25% = £22.45 /6 = £3.74 is there another glitch to get it to £2.50?

If the 25% discount is based on the original price of £9.99 (as per the example given by VfM4meplse....and as per the glitch on the multibuy offer) then I reckon the price does come in at approx £2.50 per bottle

6 x 4.99 = 29.94
minus 14.98 which is 25% of total original price (i.e. 6 x 9.99 = 59.94 x 0.25 = 14.98)
= 14.96 = 2.49 per bottle

But the question is, with these reduced price offers is the 25% discount based on the original price or the reduced price?

Its all very complicated, iv just been for some and the 3 for £12 wines glitch worked just fine. I had a £6 off a £60 spend and hadn't took enough to the til to use it and ended up handing the cashier one of each to make it 18 still didn't work and in a pressurised attempt told her to add on another one. I also had a litre if baileys. So ended up with 19 bottles of wine and a litre of baileys for just short of £56

As I explained above, in the past it has worked on the ORIGINAL price for the 3 for £12 type deals, and on the reduced price when on the half price wines. The reason, I suspect, is the nature of the till glitch - on half price, it goes through the till at half price as though that is the normal price, the price has been reduced on the system already (e.g. if you didn't know it was on half price, you could easily think it was £6 anyway - and in many cases, you can find the half price wine at that price as the normal price elsewhere!).

On the 3 for £12 type offers, it is on the shelf at the original £6 price and you can buy one or two bottles at that price, but when 3 it calculates the deduction to make it 3 for £12. In the second example (3 for £12), the computer system has not been set up to be able to recognise the lower price per bottle post 3 for £12 discount ready to apply the 25% offer.

This has been like this for many months, so they clearly cannot correct it or choose not to (and they no doubt read these forums, so will likely know about it - in the past when they got hammered on this offer, they removed the 3 for £12 offers from the store and on others many of the wines surprisingly re-appearing at £4 per bottle as the normal price ...).

It's on the reduced price. NOT the full price, it only comes off the full bottle price if the bottle you are buying is part of a multibuy.

I've just bought 6 bottle of Monte Real Malbec shiraz, on half price offer at £4.99 per bottle so £29.94 for 6 and wine discount of £7.49 came off making total for wine £22.45 for 6 or £3.74 per bottle. Still a great deal for this fantastic wine £2.50 would be better but I think it would turn me into an alcoholic at that price!! ;-) x

got 12 bottles of garland red and white. used 5 pound of 40 and 4 pound off 30.

makes 12 bottles 21 pound ish. or 1.80 a bottle.:j

There are a couple of wines that are half price and also 3 for £12. These are the ones that work out at £2.50 ish
For eg Garland Crest is £5.79 half price and also on 3 for £12. The price for 6 bottles is £34.74 the till then deducts £10.74 to make the 3 for £12. It then deducts 25% off the £5.79 a bottle price which is a total of £8.68 so the total deduction is £19.42 leaving £15.32 to pay which is about £2.55 per bottle the JP Chenet also works out like this and I'm not sure which others there are.

Thanks cherrypies, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I'll stick to the multibuy ones then!
