Want to buy 10 - 15 bottles. Any suggestions as to where I would get best price - in southside Dublin. How much is it a bottle?
 
12.99 in dunnes in Galway anyway. let me know what price you get ... Im interested for a wedding.
 
Wherever you decide to buy it, don't forget to ask for a discount. Tesco give 5% for 6 bottles of wine.

Tesco UK website quoting at £7.94 a bottle, with 5% disc for 6 bottles or more, this makes it approx €10.75 a bottle. I know you are in Dublin, but if you knew someone taking a trip to the North soon, you could save a few bob. There's a big Tesco in Banbridge.

PS I have no connection with Tesco
 
What about Cava?

Sainsbury's have this for £6.64 per bottle. They would probably do a deal also.

I would ring Lisburn (not sure if there is one in Newry - I have only visited Northern Ireland once in my lifetime and it happened to be this Summer when I bought some really cheap Freixenet cava in Sainsbury's Lisburn)

Apologies for dragging the thread off-topic, but does Cava improve with time? Got a huge bottle of some Spanish stuff years back, but never got round to drinking it. Will it improve or turn to vinegar over time?
 
Probably the busiest Sainsburys in Northern Ireland is located in Newry. Good off-icence section there too. Located in the Quays. First exit into Newry coming from Dundalk direction, go through about two/three sets of lights and when you see the Buttercrane shopping centre on your left take a right at those lights. Pay in euros (cash) and get 70p to the euro. Better than the normal exchange rate!
 
Also try a bottle of cremant d'alsace ( Philippe Michel) from Aldi retailing at €9.99, which I think is very nice.
 
 
Hi Rainyday

According to http://spainforvisitors.com/archive/features/cava.htm (this interesting article,) Cava doesn't keep very well unless it is a particularly good bottle.

Marion,

I take it that it would keep well enough to last for a journey from Newry back to homestead down south - coz once it gets back there, it'll be drunk before the engine of the car is cold !
 
Hi Doogo

I have the 6th and final bottle chilling in the fridge right now! Hmmm ... must remember to buy some olives this week.

I have also noticed that Cava keeps really well in the fridge if you don't get to use it all. Just use a regular vacu vin stopper and it retains its effervescence - at least for the following day; it never lasted longer than that.

Re: Drink for debs.

Hope my 2leftfeet won't mind me going slightly off topic and asking about stocking up for the dreaded Debs. for son.

Will need to buy in quite a lot and wonder where is cheapest overall? Probably too lazy to make a trip to Newry and wonder if it is really worth the bother considering the increase in the price of fuel?
