Aldi Ireland are giving away bottles of prosecco and tis chaos. 2 per person, dad has driven home to pick up mum & l for numbers, we’ve already spotted my aunt, cousin and half the town on the way, they’ve had to open a special prosecco queue, may the odds be ever in your favour

Meanwhile…
Evan Murphy tweetz:
Well that’s it. Aldi Glounthaune [Co Cork] is sold out of #prosecco lol
Jaykers.
More as we get it.
Big topic of discussion (and indeed excitement and hilarity) at the Aldi till yesterday which I found myself privy to. There was outrage from some customers over the two bottles per person limit. I suggested it may be the government’s campaign to prevent excessive alcohol consumption, by restricting supermarket bundle deals.
‘Like the half ten thing?’ replied one.
I nodded.
‘Bleedin’ joke’ replied another.
‘Treatin’ us like kids’ replied a third.
‘See yiz all in the morning ladies!’ piped up the Aldi staff member.
No fools those Aldi morketing folk.
Sher arent we greah altogedder…
Aw sher the guberment trying to stop us havin fun wha
whatever money they lost on the deal will have been gained back in great social meeja coverage…
Free booze!
Yaaaaaaay!
Oh…. :/
Are they being given away or are people buying them? How is it both?
Thats what I want to know too. No clarity above.
Pity they didn’t do it for the ‘Oliver Cromwell’ gin. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/gin-cheap-aldi-price-best-alcohol-spirits-james-cromwell-a8296866.html
Like Prosecco is fit for anything but stripping grease from axles.
Shows how little you know about it. You’re probably a Budweiser kinda of person.
@Anom: lover of wine and whiskey,
darker beers and your lassie when I’m desperate enough. Why don’t you run along now and let the grown-ups talk?
Like Roy Keane on Alf Inge Haaland that was….
*Tips hat brim and winks*
Like the rush on Brennan’s bread in the snow or Krismy Kremes a few months back, people are awful eejits sometimes.
There’s one born every minute, often as a by-product of buckshee drank.
Wine O’Clock merchants….That’s why they’re all FAT FAT FAT!…..and in a decade, they’ll be a serious burden on the health system!
Seriously, Irish women get a grip, there’s nothing sexy about Prosecco?
Jeepers, you’re a bit grouchy for this time of year.
@Rois: whatever about Pat, I will cop to being a little grouchy. My apologies.
Even Snow White feels a little grumpy sometimes
Hah
Who said anything about procsecco being sexy? My god you’re an insufferable eejit.
I hate to break it to you Pat but Irish women don’t drink Prosecco because they think it’s sexy. They drink it because – newsflash! – they like it. It tends to have a lower alcohol content than wine so it’s ideal if you want to have one and go about your day.
