Received an email from ocado for their 5 day wine promotion giving 25% of any 6 bottles from today until Friday Oddly tho I can't see anything on the waitrose wine page reflecting this... Anyway, a chance to fill your boots on some fine wine |

I saw somewhere that you also get £10 of your first online order, I think it may have been an email flyer, will have a look. |

Looks good. Isn't the Zalze on offer anyway? Can you confirm if they gave you a double discount? Cheers |

none of the wines in the 25% ocado offer have a discount already on them. Based on full price Ba, you weren't tempted by a CR Old Renwick too ? I started making a list but then thought better of it. Good opportunity to get some shelmerdine and Musar tho folks.... |

You're correct. They have some other wines on offer but they are excluded and do not even count towards the "any 6" |

Yep, looked at the CR but resisted. Double disco doesn't apply. |

It cant be worse than Montana Brancott Estate Classic surely ?? Not had it before so like to try new wines out. Brancott now theres one hell of an average wine never been impressed full stop. Not likely to try again either too much to try out there. Just bought some Beaucastel 1996 for a great price !! Anyone care to dish this one ?? |

A bit harsh on Brancott Estate there. For a mega brand which is what it is now it's very good and far closer to the real thing than any other branded effort but it can be sharp and acidic at times but also amazingly good at others. Mel herself has given this wine a star on at least one occasion but has also been disappointed by it and lots of writers have wowed over one review and pulled a face at it the next. I've had bottles where i've thought, fuff me,...this is so good why bother buying anything else and bottles where i've thought it so sharp as to be almost unpleasant. On balance though I think Montana do a fantastic job with a wine that is always on offer somewhere for about £6. That said, i'd happily swap anyone a case of it for a single glass of a SC PB |
