Wine deals ready for Christmas

Russinating · 7 Dec 2020 at 19:32

Looking to stop up on a case or two of red ahead of Christmas, there's normally some decent offers going with the online-only lot but haven't come across a no-brainer yet. Best I've got is £60 off Naked Wines which makes it £62 for a case.

Any recommendations?

Naked wines case for £60 is probably rubbish. I would check out Vivino if you are after quality, plenty of well rated bottles under £10.

better deals at supermarkets ?
tescos have 25% off 6, 8-10th Dec, was looking at their Barossa Ink and others.

Yes good deal. Waitrose cellar also have some decent wines for £10 at the moment, sparkling pinot noir looks interesting. https://www.waitrosecellar.com/ten-at-ten/bird-in-hand-sparkling-pinot-noir-480557

Marv tags randyshens to keep him away

We can discuss it in the wine thread, I just wanted to be sure that OP wouldn't go for a Naked Wine Box.

I've had the Naked wines case, (think I had a £75 off vouchers so it was around £50). It's pretty damn good. Significantly better than what you'll get from the supermarkets at that price point unless you can be bothered scouring the internet before you go.

got folks to pick up some of this at tesco Il Passo Segreto Appassimento, Colle Marrone Appassimento, which was great, no longer stocked,

I'm not convinced by likes of naked/times collections, tend to end up with some rogue bottles.

suggests, like tescos boss, that stockpiling ongoing, and small foreign suppliers (not that i use them) won't be bothered with paperwork, post brexit.

I reckon the Tim Adams Clare valley shiraz is better and better value, but it has a habit of mysteriously vanishing from the shelves come 25% offer time. The 2017 has grapes that would, on a better year have made it into the Aberfeldy
