    Nothing wrong with the range at Majestic.
    Bulk buying means they can do deals that your over-priced "specialist" can't.
    But there'll always be mugs to fleece.

    HTH.
    Hard Brexit now!

      The 4 bird (fnar-fnar) roast from Aldi looks nice.

      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                Mixture of Waitrose and Fortnums (no joke - go there every year) and I fancy FK rotten.

                  The new place is close enough to two Waitrose stores so that's settled. I'll hunt around online for booze deals, recommendations welcome.

                    Bulk-buying means buying mass-produced rubbish.

                    Your "deals" are the left-overs that are discovered festering in the corner of the warehouse, flogged off cheap.

                    Wine is clearly something you know little about. There's no shame in that, but best to avoid the subject in future.
