French wine prices (or should this be UK wine prices)

I found a nice rose wine in France this summer.
It was costing about €2.50 ish per bottle.

I just happened to notice it in Tesco today on a special offer.

I have had that one before and I must say it is rather nice. The price does not surprise me as we buy cava when in Spain and it costs around £1.50 a bottle and here it's around £8

It is too nice John.
I only have one bottle left and I will not be back over until at least march.
I will just have to make do with remaining white.

It's about time we all realise that Tesco's are not there for our good.

I buy wine online. It's not as cheap as France but a lot cheaper than supermarket prices.

I wonder what other wine outlets are selling this wine for, you might find Tesco is a good price for us folk in Norn Iron.

Its finding the same one else where, you can get other versions but not that paticular one.

Its available on ebay germany, but the postage is horrendous

I blame the government not tesco.
Tax tax tax tax
Tax and vat are loaded against alcohol tobacco and diesel, essentials for me.

I just checked and it is labeled differently.
It is from the same vineyard, same embossed logo on the bottle.
