NV Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Cuvée Brut
Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - Creamy nose, slightly toasty, with broad citrus fruit. Quite delicious; none of the green apple notes I used to get from this, but rather a crisp, tangy, biscuity flavour. This hasn't rocketed in price quite as much as other widely-available NV cuvées in the last ten years, but I'd still only buy it when heavily discounted; at this price, it's fine. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Scotmid (Co-op), on offer at £24.99].

12/12/2017 1:00:00 PM - I picked this up in a Sainsbury's 25%-off-six deal at Sainsbury's for just £15!
It's currently at £21 at Sainsbury's with a 25% off deal taking it down to £15.75. but the offer end tonight : (
They might repeat it before Xmas, so it's worth keeping your eyes open for any offers.
PS: If you're based in Scotland, then I suspect that the structure of the offers is different?

In general that means the discount you would have got is applied (so in Majestic, for instance, if there are multibuy discounts, they just discount every qualifying bottle), but in a supermarket doing a case discount across the board, I'm not sure how they do it - I suspect you just don't get the extra money off, as they're not allowed. Thanks for the information, all the same! :)
