Sainsbury’s is offering 25% off all wine, including Champagne, sparkling and fortified wines, when you buy 6 or more bottles. Following the success of our buy 6 save 25% promotion at Christmas, we’re extending it to last 10 days this time - from Wednesday 21st May until Friday 30th May. This includes wines already on offer, so there are some great savings to be made.

You beat me to it his morning Mel
Perfect timing for this weekends camping trip with friends. There's a large sainsburys just a few miles from where we're staying so will pitch up then go and stock up

M&S online are offering -25% on two case purchases, there's some decent buys, the PX Pedro Ximenez at £4.45 a bottle is tempting.

Guess you've not checked your emails recently mate?

GK,
The px you mention is the white wine rather than a sherry I assume?
Have you tried any of their rare old sherry range. They look quite interesting and have a PC as well as the other main varieties all retailing around £7.99
Guessing the discount applies to these too

No real opportunity for double dips in M&S store but still some good offers to be had

Any recommendations for Sainsburys?

TtD Gavi, Languedoc, Touraine, Pecorino and Chilean SB.

Sorry Shez, just saw it. The only fortified I've tried are the ports, usually get those instore, yes the PX is the white.

Sainsbury in store have a very ordinary range of Sauvignons. But online they have nice ones that unlike Tescos online range can be ordered in singles. Villa Maria Reserve Wairau, Cloudy Bay, Mollet Antique Pouilly Fume which is stunning and Mollet's Sancerre Roc d'abbaye which is reputedly chardonnay like.

Problem is they don't list the vintage.

Grabbed a pawn broker's dozen this morning. All TtD. The one poor wine-dept chappie was rushed off his feet.
Knew of what he was talking as well...quite unusual in there.

I went to a very large Sains with a fine wine section to see. . . . .

Mr Goose, I can help you with this, I hope.

Mollet's Antique Pouilly Fume is 2012, whilst Mollet' Sancerre Roc d'abbaye is 2013. The PF was £17 and the Sancerre was £16.
I would have reached for the Fume', but fascinated by your chardonnay comment, and also because I believe that '13 was more successful in the Loire, I picked the Mollet's Roc D'abbaye, the net price was £12 so I feel pretty happy with that, and loaded 3 into the basket.

Mr Shezza,
I was unable to find a deal like your 2009 Haut Batailley anywhere
The best QPR at Sainsbury for claret was the 2010 Château Barreyres, Haut Medoc CB, which for £9 net a bottle was good value, and jolly good for keeping up the quality level of quaffing claret in the house. These '09s and '10s are running low everywhere, so I grabbed the last 4.

Mr Medoc Mad
Potensac 2009 was buyable at £20.25 with discount, very large stocks, so I'll wait
Olivier 2003 cru classe de Graves (Pessac Leognan), was buyable at £22.50 but '03 was rather warm for inland Pessac Leognan which could be a bit baked, better further north in Margaux & particularly St Estephe, very large stocks as well, so we wait till next time - perhaps. I think Sains might be caught by this, so it is a regular check to see when they mark it down, and then take on double disco - otherwise it is a non starter.
