No wine in what is probably our last Sainsbury delivery!!!

we are a couple of hours away from our nearest supermarket. only Tesco deliver here and the earliest delivery slot is in 3 weeks. our last delivery arrived with only a third of what I ordered and an apology. me and hubby are both high risk due to health conditions so cant go to the supermarket. We have no food and now face a very hungry couple of weeks. already down to 7 and a half stone through lack of food. So thank you all those people who are buying all they can and leaving people like us to starve.
p.s. I have a bottle of red in the cupboard in any body wants to swap for a bag of tatties!!!!

I dont think Gin goes off too much alkohol in it, Thank goodness!

I don't drink alcohol but I imagined what it would be like if they didn't have any coffee left. I understand your pain.

who is complaining?

lucky you to get a delivery.. none at all available here.

Try a Groupon - case of wine from Spain is usually less than a week. Spanish consider wine an essential, so are probably still shipping,

Plenty of businesses, including pubs, doing home deliveries.

Why not join a wine club? We used to be in the Sunday Times Wine Club before my medication stopped me from drinking alcohol and we had some gorgeous wine from them.

Somebody on Gransnet tipped me off about Aldi delivering wine so we have a delivery coming in a few days.

Same here. Waitrose too.

I'm still not getting all this panic buying!!

Just had our Tesco delivery and have to say I’m really impressed. I feared not getting hardly anything and just stick to things we really need - got loads of substitutions but all sensible ones and nothing was missing at all. Amazed. I have been a delivery customer for years and always normally had missing things and had some really strange subs in the past but this time they surpassed themselves.

Ps - funniest substitution in the past was two cream slices substituted for a two slice cream toaster! That was returned.

Tedd1. I've been stocking up (not stockpiling) for weeks. I don't call that panic buying, I call it sensible planning and management of supplies we will definitely need.

Who knows what's ahead?

Don't understand the lack of fresh fruit and veg. It's not as though you can stockpile them. Although lemons and lines can be sliced and frozen for the gin

Hi - no wine - yes agree!! But my little local indian shop has shelves of it. Wherever you are try the little shops and don't tell anyone else. They have several things you can't get in the supermarket. Good Luck.

DH went out yesterday & got 3 bottles of wine- not our usual but will do.
Luckily there is a new bottle of pink gin in the drinks cupboard!

Haven't seen any shortage of wine in Tesco yet. I have a glass of white every evening with dinner, or a gin and tonic.

If wine is a concern right now, whine away !

I am glad that I bought a couple of bottles of red the other day. Still have half a large bottle of brandy. Just need to buy some orange juice to go with it.

I'm just about to have a word with Tesco re their ' over 70's slot '. I arrived at my nearest one at 9.20 yesterday, and found the car park pretty full. People of all ages were going in and out of the store. I spoke to an employee who was wiping trolley handles. He said that some of the staff would speak to younger shoppers in the store. A bit late. They really should have thought it through before announcing their 'offer '. They need to have the doors closed, and only allow more mature shoppers in. Now, they'll hopefully have realised that some of the public won't be sympathetic enough to honour the policy which the store has put in place. I know that it's not easy to uphold, but they need to have a rethink.

Grannyactivist I like your style ?

DDil has just left 4 bottles of wine on my doorstep!

A limit of 4 bottles of wine in Lidl’s today, and plenty of it.

Two shoppers in Aldi innocently put 6 bottles of tonic in a box, reasonably assuming it was the in demand items limited to 4. When 2 were removed he said "Oh well, at least we have 4 bottles of gin to go with it"

I like wine but don’t drink it every day. I’ve just looked for you all and found you can buy wine from Amazon, so if you can’t get any locally you can try Amazon. I’ve got wine in stock so as I don’t drink it every day, I suspect I’ve got more than enough if I fancy a tipple.
