And how many times do you get the bonus out of 10?
I assume you've tried nice wine too for comparison?

I would and still do. Sometime you find something nice for little money. Found this one in Aldi Cochem. It was rather nice but......
I'd say most of the time it's tolerable, it's very rare for me to pour a bottle down the drain. Adding a piece of licorice and giving the bottle a good shake can salvage the really bad stuff. I'm not joking. I have very low standards.
I have no choice being Coeliac. Most wont stock Gluten Free beers as they dont sell enough.

The mark-ups are just They do their best to make sure you can't go 'this £28 bottle is £6.75 in xyz' but that's pretty much what some places are uplifting prices by.
Easy...just skewer the box. Bottles are harder.

I think it's more the novelty of having stupidly cheap (compared to the UK) alcohol available. For not a lot more money there's far nicer wines available at my local co-op bodega and the money goes back to the local community.Potter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 4:00 am Re. cheap booze.
I don't get it.
If I need fluids to stay alive then I'd tolerate whatever I have to drink, but if I'm drinking something for pleasure then I have to really like it.
It sounds like there are some serious alcohol addicts if you're drinking stuff that you can barely tolerate just so you can get some alcohol inside you. I've heard drug addicts discussing the quality of their drugs too, it sounds very much like that.

So anyone that thinks the drinks market is full of pretentious over-priced brands is an alcoholic?Potter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 4:00 am Re. cheap booze.

Hmm, I'm getting expressive aromas of dark cherry and floral notes, a impression of earthy honestness and strong undertones of stinky bait.Potter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 4:00 am Re. cheap booze.
