Print it off and get very drunk tomorrow, whilst stocks last.

This is legit & is on the news.

Not so good as it appears, they've hyped up the prices so their buy two get one free brings them down to a near normal level, the 40% off doesn't include buy two get one free so you end up getting 40% off instead of an automatic 33% off a greatly inflated price, ends up about the same as supermarket offer prices.

Makes me wonder if they created all the hype deliberately.

Off-licence chain Threshers is braced for an onslaught of bargain-hunting drinkers as an online discount voucher is downloaded by millions of people.

The 40%-off wine and champagne voucher was intended for suppliers and their friends, but has been distributed widely via blogs, email and chatrooms.

Queues have formed at one store while the Threshers website has crashed under the strain of demand for the offer.

"It was never intended to get this big," a company spokesperson said.

The company admits it is slightly concerned about the popularity of the offer.

Why only wine and champagne?

Anyone got a coupon for 40% off alcopops?

they totally meant to do it!!

with sainsburys and tesco both offering 25% of wine when you buy over 6 bottles they had to do something!!

but do be honest its not that good a deal, get to sainsurys nd buy 6 bottles and youll still be cheaper than threshers with 40% off

I got 6 bottles of £8.99 vintage cava - already half price then 25% off when you buy 6 for £22 - thats a saving of £33

That Codorniu Cava is really nice, I bagged some of that too. As for Champagne, Bollinger is a crazy £37.50 in threshers (after 40% off =£22.50) yet in Tesco it's £29 (after 25% off = £21.75).

I know all this is going off the Banksy subject but booze at christmas is nearly as important.

Going Off topic is something I think the forum should consider. It gives depth and interest to a good forum.
Anyone who agrees should let Silky know. There is a short thread somewhere on this very issue.
