Nice, once we have seen off the Woolies Champers at £5, its time for some Barolo….. :?

The words loss and leader spring to mind, or maybe we are getting what we pay for? let us know what you think.

BTW- Is this the Asda 'Extra Special' own brand usually sold for around £10?

Apparnetly, although I haven't seen it myself, the Woolworths Champagne was sent to the press (not me, sadly) with suggestions of pick n mix sweets that would be good with it. They also enclosed a couple of bags of sweets.

I hear it's not great, but not by any means as bad as some sold for as much as twice the price!!

I thought the Barolo was"good for the price" a bit thin but a reasonable length, might keep 1 for a year to see what happens.
ASDA also have Brown Bros Dry Muscat at £3(normally £4.99) 1 of my wifes fav whites, great for curry munching :oops: or Asian.

Victoria Moore (in The Guardian) describes the Woolies champagne as being like what you find left over in the glasses the morning after a party. Think I'd rather set light to my fiver...

Still, could say that for all these things. You just can't make a decent Barolo or champagne for that price!
