I sent my hubby out to get some today whilst I'm at work as I could see this coming once the pubs closed, it's actually the first time I panicked shopped 😂

No tonic water in Sainsbury's

So we'll be drinking prosecco instead

VenusClapTrap · 21/03/2020 17:24

I’ve just opened our last bottle Shock

I’ve just despatched DH with firm instructions not to come back empty handed Grin it has been a LONG 3 days since nursery shut

lentenwonder · 21/03/2020 17:27

It’ll get stocked up again, I’m sure wine sellers are rubbing their hands in glee. Try an online wine club?

lentenwonder · 21/03/2020 17:27

Craft gin box - you name it, I’d find a subscription scheme, could be a long haul with schools!

The only thing missing from my Ocado order this morning. Fortunately Majestic Wine deliver for free Grin

lentenwonder · 21/03/2020 17:30

Ps a lot of the small wine shops near us are doing deliveries now.

rogerthatoverout · 21/03/2020 17:33

Do you any independent local wine shops and pubs? They may well offer delivery now could certainly do with the support now they can't open.

Whatthefunk · 21/03/2020 17:34

I drink chardonnay as its the only thing i can drink without it tasting rank due to fecked up.taste buds (thanks medication) and most other wines give me a headache anyway.
Yeah! am stocking up tomorrow at work😄😄
Cannot possibly get through weeks of 2 teens at home without it!

lentenwonder · 21/03/2020 17:39

Virgin wines still has cases less than £199 - they’re pretty good ime. Just helps with child related perspective!

I was classy and bought a box of Merlot yesterday in Morrison’s I must have known it would be sold out today Grin and dh mocked me last night.

fishonabicycle · 21/03/2020 17:50

Husband asked me to buy some birra moretti last week. He couldn't believe it when I said there was NO BEER in our big Sainsbury's 😂

lazylinguist · 21/03/2020 17:53

Plenty of beer, wine and food in our local Aldi yesterday. The only things they appeared to have run out of were paracetamol and flour (of any kind). Mind you, I did get there at opening time!

DirtyBlonde · 21/03/2020 18:01

If you like Italian wine, you're probably in for lean times for quite a while to come Grin

PrincessHoneysuckle · 21/03/2020 18:14

I started buying wine when everyone else was on the toilet roll.Ive got 7 stashed atm plus 3 large bottles of gin and 7 litres of tonic

rosegoldwatcher · 21/03/2020 18:22

WHAT! Even the top shelf stuff? (Runs around the house screaming about shortages!)

saltysow · 21/03/2020 18:23

@PrincessHoneysuckle what's your address please? Grin

AgnesNaismith · 21/03/2020 18:24

Nahhh all of our local shops had plenty of wine in...no need to panic!

CherryPavlova · 21/03/2020 18:26

We have a reasonable stash as my husband does a large order every so often from Majestic plus we order from Sharpham and Nyetimber.
The risk for us is open something every evening. It would be all too easy for our consumption to increase significantly.
I suspect the GPs may see an increase in alcohol related problems shortly.

Whatthefunk · 21/03/2020 18:26

I shall panic! Panic is required Grin
