Italian Chardonnay In Lidl !

[mikey4444]

I was having a browse for bargains just now, in our wonderful new Lidl, and I came across a bottle of Italian Chardonnay, for £3:00 !

Now I haven't tasted it yet....that will happen at 19:03, but at £3 a bottle, its got to be worth a punt hasn't it ? Its 11% as well.

Lidl's Pinotage has been a favourite of mine for years, £3:99 or £4:25, depending on what week in the month it is, and its 12.5% !

I also bought a bottle of Irish Cream Liqueur, at £3:75, as well. I bought one before Xmas, and it was bloody lovely, but hurry while stocks last, as its a Xmas Special ( I think ! )

At three quid even if it's wersh it'll be fine after the first bottle, Mikey. :)

Dougie...lol !

I am hoping that at 3 quid a bottle, its no great shame if its not absolutely
yummy. I love a bargain !

If you can find a bottle of that Irish Cream, than pounce....I have found a mention of the Lidl website (Scroll down) ::::

you mean you are no longer using Tesco mikey?

[mikey4444]

No, not really TTT.

Very close to our brand-new Lidl, there is a Tesco, where I friend of mine works. She told me that that their takings have plummeted since this new Lidl opened, and its not difficult to see why.

I sometimes go to one of our Tesco super-duper stores, to browse the TVs, etc, especially when I am out working and I have an hour to kill. But its long time since I bought a full shop there.

Love Lidl and Tesco............keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose¬!

I love Waitrose, keeps the rif raf out of Fortnum & Mason

OK...here's the verdict on this 3 quid Cardonnay.

Well, its a little thin perhaps and it has very little in the way of legs, but I didn't expect anything different. But its got plenty of fruit and its definitely perfectly drinkable !

So..... I will return to get another 2-3 bottles on Friday !

If you can get rat rsed on 4 bottles it would be worth the try Mikey.

[mikey4444]

I couple of glasses is my limit these days TWR.

I year or two ago, I would be having a Martini about now, but spirits don't agree with me now.

LOL I'm a brandy man Mikey, used to like a pin of Mild in days gone by but I found I was putting on the weight which I did not like, my friend have stocked me up with a few that will last me 4>>5 weeks, 9.30>>10 PM that's the start time, but that's if I feel like it.
