Just cracked open a bottle of Yellow Tail Jammy Red Roo after seeing it mentioned on here about a year ago. I'm drinking it out of a plastic cup to get nearer to the full authentic aussie experience

Coop doing 15pc off any four bottles of wine.

 

Bio bio Valley Malbec and trapiche Malbec are personal faves at around 7 quid a bottle full price.

the big bold red is better

 

jammy is a bit jammy

Ne'er a truer word spoken.

 

As its Christmas, youbmay want to widen the purse strings for some decent stuff.

 

Tommy Wrights in Horwich have some McManis Zinf on the shelf for a tenner. It's worth double I promise you.

 

I'll try and find a link as I think they deliver to save you muddying your brothel creepers by venturing into BL6

They were doing that Big Bold Red at the corner shop t'other week for £5, should've stocked up, it was a taste sensation (for that price)...

 

I'd recommend it to be served alongside the £1 pigs arsehole and ears 'Swedish' Meatballs they sell there. ;)

20 quid!!

 

you ought to be in bed with holdsworths mob

 

Also the interestingly named Rupert and Rothschild Classique

 

If I ever had enough money to waste on a football club, I'd waste it on something else!

is the corner shop a bargain booze?

 

they seem to be the only ones doing it

 

Ive got 20 ready

 

One Stop Shop, near Bolton Royal.

 

Think it's back to full whack now, £6.99? The current £5 wine is Hardy's and akin to paint thinner.

Partial to the Rioja reserva in aldi that used to be £5.49 ..... whacked the price to £8.99....everyone thought feck that and it stayed on the shelf 'til the other night when they dropped it to £5.29 so stocked up with a few bottles anticipating a run...sure enough tonight not a bottle in sight.

Our peg used to be a wine consultant - with qualifications from the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust and everything - and ranks a vintage from whatever year it was of Frog's Leap Zinfandel as the finest wine she has ever tasteed.  And she used to get to taste thousand pound bottles quite regularly.  And she once supplied the wine to a dinner party at Graham Gooch's house. So there.

The 2009 was sublime, but that's all gone now.

 

It's a 2013 in stock now and is already drinking well. Give it a couple of years and it will be a stonker.

 

Cas, you'll get it for £20 if you buy a few and haggle.....

 

I bet you poured away several bottles of £6/7/8 wine down the years - trust me on this one.

 

Actually, he's also got Passion Has Red Lips for a tenner, another belter
