Port for sale by retailer

[Alex Bridgeman]

Spotted in a Sainsbury's, although not available online. STTD 2003, £14.99 reduced from £25.

I've just bought the only 3 Taste The Difference Vinateg Port 2003 that were in my local Sainsbury for £15 each. I'm not in desperate need of more 2003 vintage port (even though this is very nice stuff) so if anyone I see regularly would like them at cost, please let me know by PM - first come, first served!

Was I first?

Yes you were.

I acquired 4 more bottles of Sainsbury Taste The Difference 2003 vintage port on the way home this evening @ £15 per bottle.

Anyone want them? PM me - first come, first served again.

BBR have some Delaforce 1994 listed at £25 per bottle all-in, which strikes me as a good price for this port - especially considering the provenance (i took a couple of bottles, there are 9 left)

JDAW was first again.

If I get any more of these does anyone else want any or should I just continue to feed JDAW's habit?

My 12 are in storage, so i wouldn't say no to 2 at that price if you happen to be in-store and see them - but please do not go out of your way!

...all of which were suitably taken care of by members of TPF before 9.00am this morning...

The BBR stock alert rattles into my inbox at about 2 am.. But sometimes, inexplicably, I am asleep when this happens, and sometimes, even more inexplicably, I don't look at it immediately when I wake up!
The early bird catches the port. I wonder if it was a member of the daw family.

I would be keen on the Sainbury's TTD if possible as well. Thanks.

If you are going that way I could take some from you. But I'll check to see if I can find them over here and let you know (no Sainsbury's very near this non-car-owning drinker however).

Good price on the Niepoort 11 at Fine + Rare Wines at the moment..

A bit late to the Sainsbury 2003 TTD thread, but having ventured out yesterday (Sunday) just before closing time, the local 'big' Sainsbury had a decent enough stock still left but more to the point were offering a further 25% off per 6 bottles purchased. This means they come in at £11.24 a bottle. Suffice to say that I availed myself of 18 bottles and indeed was half-tempted to pop around at opening this am, to mop up some more (unfortunately I mentioned to the wife what I'd done!). I also noticed the 1999 Malvedos was down to £25, although am not sure whether this is part of the 25% off deal.

I rarely shop at Sainsbury's as there's not one close by, but out of curiosity dropped into the one in Bishop's Stortford today. No sign of TTD, or vacant shelf space where it might have been, but 25% off six bottles, and you can pick and mix if you want to.

Malvedos 2001 was already reduced from £27 to £23, so the 25% off took it down to £17.25. As 2001 is (IMO) one of the sounder SQ years, this seemed a good deal, so I picked up half a dozen.

Croft 04 LBV half-bottles at half-price in Tesco.. £3.99. Got 5, delivery expected Monday.

BBR have 10 bottles of their BBR own selection 1977 VP (Quarles Harris) up for sale at £50 per bottle (link).

I bought a case of this from them last year at a similar price per bottle - stored since release in BBR cellars. Have had a couple of bottles and am rather pleased with it - shows young compared to other QH77 ("ready to drink with room for improvement"...). Certainly worthy of a mention here as a well-priced and reliable buy.

Bizarrely, BBR are selling recent ex-cellars Quarles Harris 77 proper alongside it at £80 per bottle...

Sainsbury's has the Graham Malvedos 01 on offer at £20 (instead of usual £27), which after their 25% off on 6 bottles or more for wine/champagne/fortified (till Friday) works out at just £15.00 per bottle

I've been there! Great store, but yes rather expensive. It seems aimed more at tourists than locals.

I have co-workers who will be visiting the shop some time in the next 3 weeks. They are instructed to bring back 3 bottles for me: a Green Spot, a Yellow Spot, and a Green Spot 10-yr old.

Sainsbury's currently have Malvedos 2001 at £20/bottle (down from £27) as well as their "buy 6 get 25% off" offer; combined that means £15/bottle. Also noted that the 25% offer applies to wine, champagne and fortified wine for any quantity of 6+ total, making it easier whatever shelf stock may be.

Six bottles of the malvedos secured although it took trips to three different Saintsbury's in order to do so-they don't seem to like stocking more than one boxed bottle on the shelf! Not sure but I think the deal expires today.
