I see Sainsburys, Asda and Tesco have their 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine offer running again.

19 Crimes The Banished isn't included this time around, which is a shame (from my viewpoint, at least!). I was wondering if any fellow Lemons would recommend an alternative that was on offer?

I recently tried Tesco's Finest Barossa Shiraz and enjoyed it, it might fit the bill.

I've tried most of the 19 Crimes range they are a blend of Shiraz/Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache. Anything that is Australian and Shiraz or Cab Sauv based should be a reasonable substitute.

I can't tell much difference between the ordinary 19 crimes, the banished or the uprising. I go for the basic one. It's very drinkable but doesn't have much complexity.

Asda have their 25% off six bottles offer on again (19th March - 5th April) in-store and on-line.

They also have a £2 off rollback promotion on two that I particularly like: 19 Crimes - The Banished, and Diablo Dark Red, reducing both from £10 to a much more acceptable £6 as both offers are applied.

Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose are all predicted to launch their own 25% off offers in time to stock up for Easter. ;)

Thanks!

I've been shopping at Sainsburys again, since taking the plunge to online and finding them to be the only ones to offer delivery slots within a reasonable time[1]. Accompanied by giving up shopping in person at Tesco since they started inflicting muzak in our local (mid-size) supermarket. Delivery makes ever more sense as I get older for something heavy like a wine order!

[1] Tesco, nothing at all within three weeks. Asda something over one week. Morrisons irrelevant 'cos their whole website was too dysfunctional: nearly every item I tried to select flagged up as out of stock! And Waitrose is a very long way to come (the nearest isn't even in the county), as well as being IME poor food at high prices.

Tesco 25% off wine offer valid for delivery/collection from 23/03/2021 until 06/04/2021. I expect it's in-store as well.

I can't tell much difference between the ordinary 19 crimes, the banished or the uprising. I go for the basic one. It's very drinkable but doesn't have much complexity.

Wasn't familiar with 19 crimes, but I bought a bottle in stocking up a couple of days ago. I think it's a bit too in-your-face to become a favourite, but having opened it with my meal this evening I'm certainly enjoying it - thanks for the suggestion.

Kind-of takes me back to when I first encountered Aussie wine 30-ish years ago. I travelled to Oz and NZ on Qantas, and was most pleasantly surprised that the wine on board was not merely free but also nice!

Bought an Uprising on offer a while back and liked it, then bought the 'normal' one by mistake. Not as impressed, but the Uprising was on offer in Morissons a couple of weeks ago so picked a couple more up.

Not seen Banished anywhere - who stocks that?

Try Asda.

(Normally £10, but currently £2 off with rollback and 25% off 6 or more (can be mixed) so £6 a bottle.)

That's why it probably wouldn't've gone in my basket but for the comments here.

A few years ago I liked a quirky name. Then I ended up with something (either "Old Git" or "Old Fart" - I forget) that turned out to be one of the foulest wines I've encountered this century, and stopped picking them up.

Popped to Asda last night - got a couple of Banished.

Also a few others, Villa Maria SB was 6 quid a bottle with the 25% off, so many thanks for the heads up.

One of our random picks from Asda was a Masso Antico Primitivo.

Opened it last night and it was excellent - full bodied with loads of red fruit, smooth, great with a pizza.

I'd happily pay the full £8 for this one next time I'm there.

I wouldn't. In normal circumstances I consider it a failure of planning if I have to buy any bottle at full price. Stock up while the offers are on!

(This time round I've added twelve bottles net to my wine rack. Ordered 15 altogether, 2 were unavailable, one has gone as a gift. Should last me 'til the next offer).
