£200 on wine for the love of god man WHY

[Kimi]

DP has just informed me that the wine order will be delivered this week 4 cases of it.
Bloody wine society, £200 is way too much for wine.

How many bottles?

It doesn't sound that much for 4 cases tbh, especially if it's good stuff. It would take me a bloody long time to drink that much though.

That's £50 per case, which is just over £4 per bottle - which is a pretty good deal.

He may have had to order that number of cases to get a decent discount?

Why is this an AIBU thread? Is it about the money or the amount of wine?

Can't say if YABU without knowing that!

Are they cases of 6 or 12?
If cases of six that is obviously some pretty nice wine, which is a good thing and if they are cases of 12 that means lots of cheap but good wine, which is a good thing too. so I would say no, 200 quid is not too much on wine.
Unless you are struggling for money of course.

That much wine would last us about 5 years!

my dh is just the same with sunday times wine club. for a salesman he is so easily sold to.
and its only farking wine for gods sake!!!
I will drink anything so I don't know why he bothers

Depends on how long it would last for.

have just told dh about £200 for 4 cases. he says thats bloody cheap and are you sure its not more

can I just add he is always lying how much he pays for wine, I am not suggesting your dh is the same

But if you buy individual bottles, it soon adds up, so doing it this way may save you money.

Cracking value if they are 12 bottles to a case.

A wine crate holds 12 bottles, so he has bought 48 bottles of wine for £200 or roughly £4 each.

I don't think its an unreasonable amount to pay, but I would be asking whether he actually needs 48 bottles. That amount of wine would last our family years.

We bought about that amount for our wedding and paid a similar price about 6 years ago. It was really nice wine though.

Depends if you have 200 quid to spare i spose?

stop moaning. Other posters here have husbands who buy Black Tower FFS. Or put bottles of Concorde to chill...

They had huge bottles of Lambrini on special today in Asda - they were flying off teh shelf.
I was in

Whats Lambrini? Thats a wine I never heard of.

Is it actuallly a wine? Isnt it alcholized pear juice?

But to the OP, I would glady spend that amount, if it was 48 bottles of decent wine.

I don't think it is too much if you can afford it. My Dad often orders from the Sunday Times wine club and they do offer good deals.

I agree with Monkeytrousers, be thankful he did not buy Black Nun or Lambrusco.

I was just working out how long it would last us

Am defo not monkeytrousers BTW.

Good deal. YABU.

fab deal, where can I get hold of it?

Oops, where did I get Monkeytrousers from? Sorry.
