for Sauvignon Blanc you won't beat the original, Sancerre.
SV have it marked down to €15 which is a very good price for any Sancerre.
less €15 if you are buying 6.
Add in some shop and save vouchers could get you a further €15 off if you are savy enough.
€60 for 6 bottles of Sancerre is unreal as you would do well to get a bottle in the Sancerre region for anywhere near a tenner.

Aldi have a great Sancerre, exquisite range, always around €14.99 but is €10 at the moment, it’s a super wine

No I want to know about January.

From 11th January no discount on alcohol, will not be able to use Dunnes 10 off 50 etc etc. Decided a year ago with a lead time to help us all get used to it. See https://www.mhc.ie/latest/insights/food-beverage-update-no-loyalty-points-for-drinking

Aldi are doing sancerre at the moment for €10 a bottle but you're right, it's unbelievable value. Most decent sancerres start at north of €25.

Is this the sancerre you on about. Might try pick up a few bottles of it tommorow if in stock. Is it 10 or 10:30 that the off licences can open from. Pity thy don't allow the supermarkets serve from earlier for xmas week alone as it's a pain if doing the groceries early in morning to avoid the rush.

I got a couple of them a few weeks ago for 10 blips each. Weren’t bad at all.

Man Vs ManUre

Lidl still has the Stella Artois 24 bottles for €18. This is a great deal and it’s a fine lager. I find the hangovers are ok with it. Only negative I have is the paper you need to rip off from the lid, what is the point of having that there??

That's the one. 10.30 is the off license opening time. It's great value.

POBox19

Just got screwed by Tesco Omni on 2 slabs of Guinness, big flashing sign above a stack €20 each or 2 for €35, checked the receipt for 2 charged €40.
Be careful out there.
Also, saw in there Baileys 1ltr with a sign €13, in very small print it said 70cl.
Be very careful out there.

I think CarryOut has Carling and Bud for 24 roughly. I haven't seen much Carling around. Heineken 24 in Tesco and Bud Carlsberg 20

Any good offers on whiskey?

Anyone see a good deal on a whiskey that will solely be used for hot whiskies so doesn't need to be anything special.

Thanks

1L Powers is 25 in Dunnes

Mimon

Drink related - Does anywhere have organic lemons? Tried them a few months back and they have no wax so far nicer in a hot whiskey. Tesco don't seem to stock them now.

StaticNoise

Lidl sell them. Not sure about stocks or the availability.

This might be an unpopular opinion but anytime I get sick I head to Lidl and get the Queen Margot whiskey, one is 15 the other 19 and I find it grand for hot whiskey. I actually prefer the cheaper one. I'm not a whiskey drinker though so wouldn't know the difference.

Yep, I got it Monday. The 700ml was 18 last week and 1L 30. 700ml is 20 (I think) this week, so prices are changing very often.

I was just looking at supervalu wines online, the buy 6 get €15 off is on a very limited range. Might be different in store but I doubt it. Was going to go there after work to stock up, don't think I'll bother now. Dunne's or Tesco have 25% off any 6 bottles.

I think it applies to all their wine.

nantony98

I believe you are right, I clicked on a "all in this offer" tab and it showed a limited range but in reality all of the wines seem to be included.

paddyh117

6 wines for €20 from a selection in Lidl until tomorrow
