Another "pop" at Sainsburys - and why not!

Well i may have smelt an offer but Charlie Lafitte (sounds like an East End boxer) is still lurking at £27.99 ready for his big day - but for now its that well known Etienne Dumont down from £27.99 to £17.99 to £13.99 wow - how low can they go?
Well in my opinion pretty low!

£27.99 would be £1 more than Lanson Black Label which has been around since 1760 (insert your own 24hr clock joke for good old (did i say old?) Etienne.
Also £1 more than Mumm Cordon Rouge the red ribbon a sign of quality for 120 years and myfinal comparison ........... at £27.99 it would be £9 more than Sainsburys Taste the Difference VINTAGE 2003 Champagne.

But wait maybe I am being unfair and Etienne Dumont has a heritage, lets check out the label.
Well no it doesn't ! However the French label tells us ( warns maybe ) that in addition to the Pinot Noir grape it uses Pinot Meunie "variete plus rustique" somehow that translates as " perfect for all occassions - ready to drink or keep........."

Remember the First Cape full price £7.99 well its no longer on offer and so its gone back to its full price .....................£6.99 !! So you see we have pre sale normal & post sale normal but there will probably have to be a price increase before long so they can make it half price again. Lovely.

Say something nice about their offers. OK 2 cases beer for £15 either Stella 18x284ml or Budweisser 15x300ml. Fantastic but you wont win the Bud competition - it closed 24th August.
Beer is crazy cheap- hope they paid the duty.................
