Cheap good brandy for wedding?

Barbarian25

Does anybody know of anywhere I can get a lot of good cheap drink for a wedding? Preferably a good brandy. We will need enough for a few days so this is not a small order that will be put in, somewhere in the region of 40 bottles average. Would any wholesalers be willing to do a one-off deal of that sort??

How cheap and how good?

The best way to find out if the wholesalers will do a deal like that is to ask them. You will need to bargain with them.

If you want to buy them retail, try the whiskey exchange:

Because it is for a wedding I'm not sure if it counts as personal use, so check with irish customs before ordering. You might have to pay the difference in excise to the government.

Alot of independent offies are doing deals on Martell at the moment. Cant be got for around €23.99 (usually retails at €28.99).

OP- when you say Brandy, are you talking Cognac or Spainish Brandy- there would be nearly 60-100% difference in price between the two

Heres sainsburys prices for 'Brandy' including Calvados, which could do you just fine depending on your needs

In contrast, here's the Cognac prices

apologies in advance if you already know ure 'brandies' but Spanish brandy tends to be more 'caramel' in taste than Cognac (and tends also to be cheaper) - 40 bottles over a number of days seems a lot- care to tell us a bit more - sounds like a great wedding:)
