Qantas Wine latest offering

[roncritch]

Has anyone tried the E&T Cab Sav...would be interested in your views before I purchase. Some Redbrook area wines are good a lot are not worth anything IMO.

PS Just got a free year of Epicure membership sent to me

Punt Road makes some great Chardonnay. Epicure's price is $12 higher then DM's per case but the bonus points makes their offer very attractive.

I've run back onto the 'bonus points paddock' and gone for the Chardonnay.

As have I

Seems to me not a bad price to buy the points... and they throw nice wine in for free

Down to the last bottle of Chardonnay at home so just did my first Epicure purchase this year

I do have space under my desk after gifting quite a number of bottles lately - with the Evans & Tate sounds interesting, so I'm in.

I didn't get the usual Thursday email. Grateful for Mr_Orange posting, Epiqure should give you an another bottle for those additional sales you have put their way

Does this work out at around 27pts/$?

 

[QF WP]

Almost, my calcs say 30.75 points per $1 (which is even further reduced if you factor in CC points as well), so your figure may be correct for particular card earning.

Grand total:

$269.94

Qantas points summary for this transaction:

Base Points	810
Bonus Points	7500
Earn Total Points	8310

Too tempting to turn down

 

[prozac]

I hadn't factored base or CC points. If you rate the purchase value of an international J Qantas point at say 3c, then the case is valued at $240 and the wine then really costs $30/case or $5 a bottle. Of-course if you rate international J at 4c then they are paying you to drink.

edit: Has anyone tasted the Chardy or the Cab.Sav.?

No matter how you look at it, if you like the wines then the offer is good value

This thread is worth it just for the justifications to purchase wine alone

I great resource of excuses for the other half.

Just noticed that Epiqure has the Parker First Growth 2006 for $85/bottle in 3-packs

The points seemed good. Thought I might give the Cabernet a whirl....until I looked up Jeremy Oliver's rather scathing review of it.

Lean, under-ripened and leathery, with a briary, lanolin-like bouquet of redcurrants, blackberries and minty nuances. Medium in weight, it's thin and greenish, with sour-edged fruit that lacks conviction and ripeness. 82 points.

Hmmm...I tend to agree with his notes in general.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this great offer. Appeared as a sponsored ad on Facebook yesterday. 5000 points for $197 case of 6. I bought two.

And DMs can be even cheaper with 5% discounted WISH card company reward scheme/Starthere.

I'm in for this one. I need some Shiraz and the points get me across the line.

As much as I enjoy all of these offers I'm looking forward to just drinking some!

From today's email:



Not sure about relative value, but my wife took a liking to French reds in 2011 and thought I might surprise her

They really need to stop taking my money...I'm up for a restock and it's hard to say no to bonus points...
