Lidl. Good publicity or epic fail

[Bansko Seagull]

I went to Lidl this morning just after it opened as I needed to do the family shop before heading off to Watford. All I saw was people heading out with their box of prosecco tucked under their arm. As these shoppers hadn't bought anything else and the loyal shoppers were yet to arrive, was this a successful promotion by Lidl or an epic fail?

What was the promotion?

Cheese half priced

6 bottles of prosecco for £20.

Lots of people talking about it so good publicity.

Prosseco aside, Lidl's nuts and seeds are always good value compared to, say Sainsburys, where they get away from charging extortionate prices, just because they are in the world food aisle.

Millions of people, along with Cava it is an extremely popular sparkling wine.

In the 60s the rubbish wine was called Blue Nun now it is called Prossecco so good advertising has made it such that people 'need' to be seen drinking it. It just shows what good marketing does for poor products.

I dont know of any as all of my female relatives of varying ages including the 20 year olds drink Sauvignion. The older ones like my wife drink Rose. All down to personal taste and marketing of course.

I think their is a bit of that, it's a faddy drink at the moment,I don't really drink sparkling wine unless it's given to me, but I have had some very nice glasses of Prosseco, If people cannot afford Champagne or English sparkling then you can't really be critical if they can only afford Cava and Prosecco.
Still better than any Liebfraumilch still available.

BensGrandad in missing a clue shock. blue nun and Prossecco are worlds apart, if you've not tried you cant comment much, and you've not read about it so ill informed.

They shouldn't be in pubs either.

What's wrong with a pint of mild and a packet of Big D peanuts.
