As you say can’t go wrong for a fiver.
Only problem we’ve had in our place is getting enough stock in - they’ve been a bit stingy with some of them so I haven’t been able to get some of the ones they have online.
The staff buy them before they hit the shelves!

The effect of Brexit in the price of wine is so clear, especially in M&S.
Drinking it now. Aldi Irish gin with elderflower tonic. Totally wrong I expect but I’m pissed.

Not so much Brexit, much more M&S’s highly unrealistic business model. They insist on unsustainable prices from suppliers (one of us works for one of them) relative to product quality and point-of-sale pricing, to the point where a proportion of M&S products are effectively subsidised by manufacturers and suppliers. Obviously not a sustainable business model, so either prices go up, portion sizes go down or products become unavailable.
I would think that the French wine producers would play that game. Surely it’s the fall in the pound that has pushed the price of foreign wine?
Needs a proper glass
