Cheap and Cheerful
 
Just to say that hubby recently bought several dozen bottles of wine from MMI ranging in price from AED15-30 plus tax, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Its a special July offer and includes Australian, South African and Californian wines. He gets through 3-4 bottles a week and says that they all taste pretty good. Just letting you know.

Just watch what it is you are buying though I went in the other day and noticed a real cheapy bottle of wine I always buy as chucking wine for a bbq after the good stuff runs out which I know for a fact is 29 dhs a bottle. They had it on the sale stand as 49 dhs reduced to 34 when I pointed it out they tried to tell me that the price had gone up - bullshit

Have you been watching top gear?

I swear to god, the last episode I'm watching just now, Hammond said they are going to look for something cheap and cheerful. And now Clarkson keeps repeating it :rofl:
