Sounds like a great deal. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Go to Sainsburys at Calais. Hardy's Australian wine at £1.99 a bottle. Just brought back 60 bottles along with some Chilean and French stuff for not much more. Oh and then there was a few bottles of Single Malt for me and Vodka for the other half. We are not alcoholics really ! Hic Wink Wink

At those sort of prices for a short hop return, it is no wonder people livng within spitting distance of the docks go to France for their shopping and a fipp up with diesel.

Can I suggest that it is even more cost effective if you buy expensive wines rather than supermarket plonk. If you want wine at £2 a bottle Aldi is fine and saves the cost of the ferry.
If however you buy wine in France at £5 a bottle equivalent you will enjoy the wine more and make a greater saving over the UK price.
If you don't care about the taste then cut cheap Vodka with Pepsi Max to the same ABV and it will work out a lot cheaper than going to France for the wine.

Ducking for cover!!
