To think it slightly stingy for a couple to bring *one* bottle of Tesco half-price wine with them when invited to dinner?

[oliviacrumble]

Recently had a dinner-party (went to lots of effort, lovely food, lots of wine, blah blah). Two couples came bearing a bottle each of that weeks Tesco half-price offer (plus in one case a bar of chocolate), then proceeded to drink the house dry, in one couples case til 3am. Please don't get me wrong, am def not the penny-pinching hostess, and most certainly will always keep the drink flowing, just thought it a little mean.Maybe the fact that there was a slight element of "duty" involved, ie returning hospitality to guests has coloured my view. If dh and i are invited anywhere, would always bring two bottles. Is one (cheap) bottle per couple the new black?

I think YABU

I would be grateful and thankful for any gifts offered by guests. We throw and go to supper parties regularly and usually take 1 x bottle wine and one other thing eg flowers or chocs as well.

Or in the case of something like a pot-luck dinner or if I had offered to bring pudding etc I'd just bring the wine.

Who cares if the wine was on offer?? Still tastes the same as if it were full price no?
