To think it's shocking that Waitrose substituted my prosecco for.....

[Cumberlover76]

CAVA!!! FFS one would think such a quality supermarket would know one drinks prosecco and not cava. It's a good job I'm on the flat stuff tonight or there'd be trouble! I'll have to actually go into a shop tomorrow to stock up!

meh, good cava is miles better than bad prosecco. Very passe to be a label snob, dahlink.

Think of the poor personal shopper. She's probably supporting umpty kids and cats while working in the early hours in a warehouse.

She tried.

What you meant to say, was that Waitrose substituted Cava for your Prosecco.

.

Cava is far superior in terms of quality. Prosecco is just trendy at the moment, for some reason!

You should add notes to say no substitutes.

You do realise it is a low paid teenager picking your shopping, not a wine conneiuser!?

Tsk...champagne only here (as if)

I can beat that. They substituted my vair expensive Austrian Gruener Veltliner with Liebfraumilch. The dirty, dirty bastards.

I don't descriminate - all fizz is delicious.

Christ. It's all grog to me. If you were complaining you were brought apple juice instead, meh then I'd seen your point.
Cava, prosecco, prosecco, cava... all tastes fine and goes down the same way with the same result. Hic.

outs self as total pisshead

Lidl Prosecco is yummy. I have a soft spot for Cava though as it was the fake champagne at out wedding.

I'm sure it was a poster on here somewhere that had their tampons substituted with a Twix bar. That was the best one I'd ever heard.

I can top that - when I lived just outside Glasgow, our regular driver told me someone was sacked for subbing a packet of fags with an apple...

Count yourself lucky. Lost count of the amount of times over the years that I have ordered alcohol and have received none. Even though I accept substitutions, and have had substitutions for other things in the same delivery.
The delivery people are very apologetic. They cannot understand it either how a store can possibly run out of booze.

trying to imagine living in an area with grocery shops that deliver alcohol. Or anything at all.
