Looking for cheap wine Locations in Northern Ireland

    Hey there, I'm trying to locate some cheap wine deals for my wedding which is coming up next year. The hotel is charging 8 euro corkage so I need to keep the price as low as possible without it being vinegar. France is the best bet but the ferry across is the killer, so I was wondering If anyone could recommend somewhere in Northern Ireland. All suggestions welcome. Cheers

    The supermarkets do very good deals but you would want to know what you are buying as a lot of it is muck.... Sainsburys currently have some at 3 for 10 pounds but they could be horrible! They also have some half price eg a Lussac St Emilion that could be OK - currently 6.99 with a further 5% off if you buy 6+.

    Tesco's Asda & Sainsburys all regularly do wine deals.

    As the said above there are regular 3 for £10 or half price deals as well as other lesser but still decent discounts ...

    Was up there 2 weeks ago and got some cases Hardys Stamps of Australia Cab Sauv, ANtares Chillien Merlot & 35 South Sauv Blanc all on 3 for 10 offers. These are all screw caps but still half decent wine.

    Also got some french Bourdeaux Superieur controlée vintage for half price.


    However I would advise a renegotiation of corkage also. Hotels cannot afford to lose business these days so a bit of hard ball should be used.

    I had my wedding 2 years ago and that was still during the screw you times and I got mine for 5Euro a bottle down from 10Euro for wine and 15euro for bubbley :rolleyes:. Hotels play on you if they think you really want their hotel and feel they have you by the short and curleys

    Good luck in your wedding by the way and best of luck

    Thanks for all the help guys it's much appreciated. We're still putting the squeeze on the hotel for the corkage and hopefully they'll give in on some of it...
