50% off ACG plonk, today only. What's not to like?

Note - the Monday Madness sale is not advertised on their site: it was circulated in an e-mail to their membership.

Pity they don't sell 20-litre bladders like the cleanskin crowds in France…

Incl their packs? Eg they've got $70 for a dozen bubblies?

  Not sure, but The Lovely and I dragged ourselves through the heat haze (down Murphy St) to snaffle a doz of red and a half-doz of white (why do we call wee-coloured wine, white?) and a bot of a 'mother-in-law-worthy' red to take to her parents' - all up cost: $57.
  
  For 14.25l (at 12.75% alc average) is $4/l.
  
  Compared to Berri 5l casks at $11.50-ish at DM's ($2.30/l), $4/l seems un-bargain-ish… but the better quality (and higher alcohol content) sort-of makes up the difference.
  
  Long story even longer: it appears that they take the 50% off the 'underlying' price, not the '6-for-$X' price. Still, 50% off their already-competitive (for proper wine) is a decent get.
  
  Funniest thing is: I almost didn't mention to The Lovely that I'd got the 50%-off e-mail, because I was firmly wedded to the idea of laying fat slack and happy in front of the aircon all afternoon, drinking cask Rosé and watching today's newly dl'd episode of "Walking Dead" and "American Dad".
  
  Too honest by half, and punished for it - by a sweaty slog back up the hill with 19 bots in tow: almost like the Kokoda Trail, only worse.
  
  Lesson learned.
