Here's one piece of Quad equipment that you probably don't, but ought to, own Barry!
My local Co-op seems to be having a reorganisation of its wine stock, so there are a couple of interesting wines on offer at the moment.
The first is one of my favourites: the 2007 Château Le Boscq, Saint-Estèphe. 12.5% ABV. Was £19.99, now £15.27.
The second is a decent 2008 Barolo, 14.5% ABV. Was £18.99, now £12.01.
Well that’s the good news, the bad news is the 2009 Château Chapelle Labory Fronsac, Merlot 14.5% ABV I reported favourably, is no longer available. Bit of a bugger – as I was going to order a case!

Nice one, Barry. I'll have to check out the selection at my local branch. The Co-op have always had some interesting wines, IME... A much underrated store, on all levels, in my opinion! They stock some quality stuff :)

On an aside the Co-op steaks are exceptional at the moment.
End of an era :(
With great sadness I bought up the last few remaining bottles of the 2007 Chateau Le Boscq, a Saint Estèphe from my local Co-op. It has been stocked for the last three years or so, but the Co-op have now ‘reorganised’ their wine stock and so is now no longer available.

Not cheap at ~ £20 a bottle; which is probably why it didn’t sell and the reason the Co-op have decided to drop it. This is a great shame, as it had become a firm favourite of mine. Still available from: http://www.greatwesternwine.co.uk/chateau-le-boscq.html or http://www.edencroft.co.uk/servlet/t...q--dsh-/Detail, but at £33 a bottle I can’t see me buying many! :(
I also picked up the last of the 2008 Conte dell ‘Unitá Barolo for about ~ £12
Can’t find too much about this vintage, but the 2006 was a silver medal winner: http://www.decanter.com/dwwa/2012/wi...nita-2006/9108.
The Co-op also has an Amarone on offer. Will provide more information when I next visit.
Futher to my last post, I'm pleased to say the Co-op are clearing out their remaining stock of Chateau Le Boscq. A mixture of the 2006 and 2007 vintage, the Co-op are selling this off at £7 a bottle. They normally sell it at £25 a bottle!
Hurry! This is your last chance to sample this lovely Saint-Estéphe - I bought up the entire stock from my local branch. :eyebrows:
I bought one of these today Barry and must admit to being a little sceptical, but by jove it really works and has improved the Malbec I am drinking :)
Thanks for the tip below too.
