Tesco have a 3 for 2 offer on wine, checked it out today, didn.t really see much of an offer last week I bought Calloway Crossing for �3.49 on half price offer, today it was �4.99 on 3 for 2 offer, worked this out as a saving of 47p is this a bargain? I suppose I could by a packet of crisps to go with it.
Personally I would always buy a good wine at half price. You have to watch all the supermarkets with 3 for price of 2 offers. They are in the business of making a profit after all. The best wine offer I ever found was in Asda at Christmas. They offered half price, then gave a further free bottle for every six bought. I got six bottles of wine for a little over �10. It was nice too.
You could always use threshers 3 for 2!
We have had the offer on for so long now, and even changed it so that you didnt have to buy all 3 in one go.
I think the prices may be slightly higher then super markets, but you will find that 90% of the wines in the branches are on offer :)
Threshers are also Wine Rack, Bottoms Up, Drinks Cabin, Hutton's, Victoria Wine, Cellars, Haddows and Firkin.
It takes a keen eye to determine whether a reduction at Tesco is better than a '3 for 2' at any of the above.
Keep watching the Co-op too. Don't know how they work out their pricing, but they often have top quality wines at totally give-away prices.
According to anarticle in yesterdays Telegraph, due to drought & other problems in Oz & a wet summer in Europe there probably won`t be enough popular wines to meet demand soon. The days of the �3.99 bottle & some of the �4.99 ones are apparently numbered.
