" Most wine will see an increase of £0.44 per 75cl bottle, or a 20% increase in the duty paid (£2.67 vs the current £2.23). This increase will apply to wines with an ABV between 11.5% and 14.5%."

And when they reduce Mrs G's favourite from £12 to £9 and then offer the 25% on top it's a deal too good to miss. We've still got about 35 bottles left but will stock up if the double deal is on tomorrow when we go.

Re: What have you just bought?
Well I bought a Hamster, today, my first pet in 35 years.
I've called him Chewie, and left him to settle in for a for a few days before thinking about handling him.
The pet shop suggested a dry bath with him to allow him to crawl over me and get my smell.

Well when they drop the price of Spiced Rum count me in.
Mind you they did drop the price of Johnny Walker Black Label by £10, so I got 3 bottles.
