I cant agree or disagree on the quality as I havent sampled the Gray Fox range yet, but when I worked temporarily for a Sainsbury's distribution centre, pallets of the stuff would be sent to stores.  Probably at a ratio of 8:1 in comparison to the next most popular wine.

They must shift a lot of it, which speaks for itself.  :y

Not a fan of Whiskey (Irish I think :-/)  but give me a nice bottle of Whisky and, well, it does not last very long.....they are making the bottles smaller these days... :'( :'(

Can't stand whisky (or whiskey) myself, but I do like a drop of Glayva, or perhaps Stag's Breath....

With my budget i am more motivated by cost, which ever offer sounds good, although I do like to spend something on a nice bit of cheese.

Just right to end the day after a hard day watching TV, providing iPhone Sky streams
