Those shop even more expensive ......

I have found out majority of the below $25 wines.

 

Given the same wine, cheapest Will be from supermarkets, because of the volume they have will be able to give the best price.

 

Every ask a neighbour who sells wine.

She said the same wine will be better at Supermarket that her own staff purchase

Not always more expensive. Today I was at Cellarbration and found several wines around that $30. And there are other wine shops like Wine Connection or the Chop House that have a good choice of cheaper wines.

 

And when promos happen, they can be amazing. I got Jaboulet Secret de Famille Cote du Rhone at buy 2 for the price of 1 @ <$50 from Straits.

 

Bargains can be found if we look.

My hot tip for people that want a champagne lifestyle but only have a beer budget like me.

 

:D

 

The most important thing to remember is champagne is a marketing term.

 

Sparkling white wine can only be called champagne if it comes from the

 

Champagne region in France.

 

Its like saying Katong Laksa can only be called Katong Laksa if it was made

 

in Katong. So you can use the same ingredients and the same cooking methods

 

but you cannot call it Katong Laksa if you made it in Bedok.

 

But if you use the same ingredients and cooked it the same way and it tasted

 

just as good, who cares if it was made in Katong or Bedok?

8 percent discount applies to all items, including promotional offer items.

 

Like the Spanish Tempranillo I bought for tasting is on "Buy one at $28, got another bottle free" Effectively is $12.88 A bottle after 8%.

 

Is still considered drinkable table wine. But I will likely get a Rioja on offer than buy this again. Too bland for me.
