    Booze stock-up. Where to buy?

    Seeing as the weather is getting good, i thought it would be a good time to get a few crates of magners/bulmers/strongbow/kopparberg etc in

    Anyone have any good suggestions on where to buy this from?

    Tesco/Asda the best bet still or is it worth buying online somewhere?

    Looked so far and havent found it much cheaper...

    Maybe import from a foriegn site?

    Cheers

    Costco is an option, preferably macro if you can get a card from someone/somewhere.

    If it is only cider then maybe a wasted trip, ikea are a good seller for koparberg although its not that cheap for what it is (girls fruit cider)

    Yeh, its obviously not as hardcore as the original cider, but none of the comercial cider is these days. It was originally flat so anything with fiz could be labelled girls cider.

    no idea how to get a macro/costco card. Might just keep looking online for deals offers.

    Cheers though Ben

    It is soooo easy to make cider, anyone with an apple press and some apples can do it. And Apple presses are cheap.

    cans, not the bottles you find at the supermarket

    ikea charge 95p each for individual cans. (50p for non-alcoholic. beware, they look really similar)

    They don't list apples or any other fruit in the ingredients, but then they also don't call it actual cider. I had this discussion with a friend recently. We went to look
