Exactly. It's partly tax and partly greed on the part of the supermarkets I think.
The Bordeaux I got was marked up at €1.79 a bottle but the checkout operative failed to spot some of the cases in the trolley. Which I only noticed after I inspected the receipt in England

It was a fab quick trip and one that we'll definitely be doing again and maybe we'll manage to persuade some others to join us on a fun booze trip to France
Muz... the pic of you and Hannah sipping the wine is ace!
That photo was taken on my phone, not by me obviously, can't remember who took it, it's all a bit of a blur, just like the photo
I love cheese!

We would have done, but Mrs Muz always has the Christmas sprouts on the go at Easter, so by December they're nice & tenderblobber wrote:Really can't believe you didn't have the tinned sprouts
