Have you ever wondered whether you were being ripped off when you see a special offer sign for a wine you’re buying?
Were you aware that the supermarkets sell over 80% of the wine consumed across the country and over 75% of that is special offer wine? Did you know that over 60% of this is cynically produced for the special offer only and has no real value above the reduced price it is being sold for?
Did you also realise that over 73% of wine writers never stoop to pen a review of these wines, leaving the public at the mercy of the supermarkets? Shocking stuff I’m sure you’ll agree!
My lawyer says I ought to point out that over 27% of my facts are supposition and would not hold up in court! Nevertheless, I think it's time for Slurp, Treasure, Avoid: a wry look at special offer wines to see if there are any real bargains to be had out there.
