6 x 75cl bottles of wine - £12 in Sainsbury's


£12.00

120°

FOUND BY: ClashInDevon 1 year, 9 months ago

In Exeter Alphington Sainsbury's today, they had a selection of boxes of 6 x 75cl bottles of wine reduced to £12.

The one I bought was called Ripe & Juicy Red Wines and contained 2 x Castillo de Calatrava Gran Reserve 1996, 2 x Zontes Footstep Cabernet Malbec 2004 and 2 x Rosabrook Cabernet Sauvignon. The box lists these bottles as £9.99, £8.99 and £9.99 respectively and shows that the original selling price of £29.94 represented a saving of £28.00. Therefore, while I'm no wine buff, £2 a bottle seems a real bargain, especially when they do actually sell the Castillo de Calatrava Gran Reserve 1996 for £9.99 a bottle online.

It was such a bargain that the sales assistant refused to believe the price it scanned at, so called over a supervisor who went off and confirmed the price. I don't know if this is in other stores, but there was a big display in this store which included white wines and wines for entertaining. That said, they were going quick.

great find- i bought the rose case and a chardonay case which both look good!

I class the wines i buy into 2 categories- ones for me to drink and then better ones that i can give as gifts. These bottles definately fall into the 2nd category and i will go back tomorrow for some more

Just been to Sainsburys in Bath, picked up 6 bottles of Rosabrook Chardonnay for £12. Had a handful of boxes left, also had red wine and rose.
Similar to the deal last summer the 'barbeque selection' if my memory serves me correctly.

Ooh, hope they have some left in my local Sainsbury's. Zonte's Footstep is lovely and Castillo De Calatrava is a really really nice wine.

Heat & Rep added - thanks OP

Managed to get last box of another type "Wines for Entertaining" a mixed case of 2 bottles of the Chardonnay, 2 VDP Cinsault Rose & 2 bts of the interestingly named Woop Woop Cabernet.

Also got 6 bts of Leaping Lizard Rose for £12

Never tried any of these, really wanted the reds but these were OOS, but great for party wines - cheers
