    Port counts as a fortified wine. So it is included in the " buy 6 bottles or more and get 25% off" promotion. Takes the price down to £5.25 per bottle!

    Couldn't think what to get my 67 y/o father for his birthday, I was thinking "bottle of wine I guess" but this was a much better looking gift.

    Looks nicely expensive (coupled with a 99p gold bottle bag...) and in fact it is quite expensive at £14 when it's not on half price.

    Pretty bottle with little paper labels and seal and that. I think it would be a nice Christmas gift or addition to a hamper.

    Bought one for dad, who was suitably impressed.

    Posh looking port.

  • This is lovely. We had this last christmas and it was half price then too! Worth the price! :beer:

  • It might LOOK posh but you're paying at least a pound more for a bottle of good port than you need to!
  • Got some!
    Tried it!
    No different than any other cheaper brands!

    I think the £13.99 is way OTT, but I'll be buying 1 bottle for hubby.

    Aldi port is £5.99 all year round, lovely drop of port.

    Ignore the 50% off branding on any seasonal products. They will have been at the higher price at a time of year when no one was buying the product. Tescos have done it with Turkeys. V expensive in August, 'half' price by Christmas!

    The new supermarket pricing guidelines may get rid of this stupidity.

    Remember an item costs what it costs, the saving is meaningless.

    Yes but Aldi port doesn't quite look like the nice gift that this does really :/

  • A better deal is Cockburn's Special Reserve @ £11.00/litre in Tescos. With the 25% discount for buying 6+ bottles of wine that equates to £8.25/litre which equates to £5.77 per 70cl bottle. This has been my favourite port for 52 years. :j
