Don’t be fooled by the ‘half price wines’ offer in tesco. Most of these wines are never meant to be sold at their full price and even at ‘half price’ these wines are really struggling for any value.

These ‘offers’ are built with headlines in mind and do nothing for consumers, who (in my mind anyway) would be much better off heading into their independant retailer looking for wine! You’d be surprised the quality you would get after a little chat with your local wine retailer, for exactly the same price as your tesco ‘half price’ offer!

Good advice from Will at the Irish Wine Contemplations blog. I never found the selection of wine at Tesco any good.

Most of their half price wines are bad value, anyway. But in fairness, their “Finest” Chenin Blanc, reduced to 8.49 euros is very enjoyable.

In fairness, Oyster Bay reduced to 9.69 is a bargain.
