Paging the Vino Pikeys

Our local Tesco are currently offering 30% discount on 6 or more
bottles of wine - including the already heavily discounted special
offers and bin ends. I presume it's a national promotion.

Also online and, for the uber-pikeys (pikies?), there's a 1000 points
code which works with a £25 spend. 1000 points is 2/3 of a Eurotunnel
ticket.

It is.

Shepherd Neame do a better beer though. Genuine bottle conditioned real
ale, complete with yeasty lumps. They call it simply "1698". I've only seen
it in Asda though, who sell it for the same price as their own label beers
(also brewed by SN).

Tescos are currently doing a 30% off most wines this week
(www.tescowines.com) but you can also use a number of eVouchers to get
further discounts ranging from £5, £10, £15+ free delivery dependent
on what you buy. At Checkout use either of the following codes (only 1
per order but you can obviously do multiple orders): XXB25Z, XX-WINE,
XX-G78G, XX-G79G, XX-G73G, XX-G75G, XX-G80G, XX-G45T, XX-C32D, XX-
CERT . e.g. £60 worth for £42 less a further £15 = £27, so half price.
Some good choices on there.

Good glugging stuff. Tescos in Coquelles do cases of J.P. Chenet. Came
home from the last trip with a case of "élevé en barriques " chrdonnay
for a very modest sum.

Why? Do you have any idea how little raw onions cost per ton? Clue: it's
a lot less than £9000, which is what Tesco sells them for.

There's a hyoooge one near Boulogne port - my favoured boozecruise
destination. Alternatively, head in to St Omer - nice little town for
lunch/wander, too.

I don't think even Tesco could sell onions at around £2 each. Your
decimal point has ended up in the wrong place.

Must be, they're even doing that deal in Wales! So is it worth buying
wine this way - as you feel like it, or would it be worth while
joining one of them there wine club things? If so, whats th best
value one around? We're just going through a fair bit and there's got
to be a better way...

Tesco gets spuds at the farm £20/ton and sell at £2000/ton. Figures from
last year.

If you want to educate yourself about unusual areas of the world then the
mixed cases from laithwaites.co.uk are good. Look out for leaflets from
credit cards or magazine adverts for really good introductory offers.

Majestic are good too. Fewer mixed case but lots of choice. Free delivery
if you are in range of a shop (the Cardiff branch delivers to Abergavenny
so I guess they willdeliver to Chepstow too). Getting a delivery from a
local shop means you can arrange delivery at a convenient time much easier.

If you know what you want then buying in bulk from Tesco is probably the
cheapest way, save taking a trip to France.
