    How much white wine are you after? Surely you only need one bottle?

  • just an afterthought- how can fizzy drinks be worth as much as wine?

    They don't have to be worth as much as wine. The point is the separate items in the deal together add up to more than £10.

    You don't have to buy the most expensive item in each different part of the deal.

    To some people who don't drink alcohol, 6 cans of coke are more useful than one more expensive bottle of wine!

    If you are a "celeb" with more money than sense, it's not difficult.

    Its all about offering an alternative, otherwise if alcohol was offered I bet they wouldnt sell as much as there would be those who dont drink wine.

    Same with the M&S meal deal, they have a non alcoholic included.

    What should the staff have been bothered about ?
