Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[BacchusMarsh]

The sales pitch is

"This premium six pack has just been released. The wines together can currently be bought through Dan Murphy's and a couple other retailers for well over $1,100 - indeed, the Astralis and RunRig alone are $759.88 together from Dan Murphy's.

The six pack is $595, free delivery. Please contact ASAP if this interests you. It won't last long as only 90 have been put together."

And who's offering it?

Langtons..look under the tab "mixed cases"

Would you say this is a good deal at $595 for the six?

06 Odyssey
06 Meshach
06 Runrig
06 Astralis
06 Freedom 1843
06 The Tally

Not bad, not great. Apart from the Runrig & Astralis most of these can be had for less than $100 (some significantly less).

Much less than $100? Retail?

Certainly I've scored some $50/60/70 Tally/Meshach/Odyssey, but it's usually been via the secondary market.

$400 would be closer to the right price for me.

 

[BacchusMarsh]

I would have jumped at it if I still had any $150 statement credits left.

Yeah same, wish I had another one to use

Yeah, usually via Langton's auctions, but also the occasional secret offer or cashback with CR / wish card.

Anyways, there's 9.6% cashback via CashRewards for Langtons. Brings the price down to ~$540. If you price the Astralis @ $225 and the Run Rig @ $175, then the last 4 bottles are costing you $35 each.

I doubt you'd be able to buy that selection of bottles, retail, at the $400.

Hi Dr Ralph. I'm genuinely intrigued how you could source these collectively for $400. You must have some amazing sources. Are you talking buy now retail or the secondary auction market? I have been bidding on the RunRig and Australis and they seem to be regularly going well over what I'm prepared to pay for them / what I can get them for when buying through these Langtons bundles.

Any pointers would be greatly received, as I'm looking at organising a fine wine dinner to include the likes of these kind of wines.

Many thanks in advance. Wozza

Secondary market - privately available. I doubt you could get all of these in the buy now retail market anywhere near $400 (without some special deal).

I abhor paying too much for wine. And $595 is definitely too much. $595 less a $150 Langtons AMEX cashback (if you have any) + available cash rewards might get you close to a decent price though.

 

[Steady]

Anyone who has not purchased from Langton's in the past could get $50 off via a referral

The $150 amex credit has expired AFAIK ?

 

[Dr Ralph]

Not for me. I was provided with one with my new AMEX account.

The RunRig and Astralis are what makes the deal seductive; but there is nothing wrong with the quality of the other wines.

Getting this selection of bottles for $540 would be very difficult, which is why it is a good deal. It just didn't strike me as a great deal. YMMV.

Just got an SMS from Cracka Wines:

To help make this Christmas a Cracka, here is my personal gift to you. Dean Taylor, CEO.www.crackawines.com.au/xmaswine T&C's apply

So I get $50 discount when I spend at least $149 - presume other will get this as well. Not a bad saving off the already discounted price.

The 2014 Naked Vine Marlborough Pinot Noir interests me + a couple of others.

Yes. Same about 5 mins ago.

Probably get one of these a month from Cracka.

 

[AnonymousCoward]

The Cracka deal was more attractive last month when combined with the 'Spend $150 get $30 back' Amex deal. I bought several packs of ~$150 wine at $80 off.

 

[Gustino]

Just received a TXT from crackawines with $50 gift card to use online - XMASWINE. (but seems like their wines is a bit overpriced)

 

[WineNot]

Amex really are trying to send me broke throwing this out after the VM deals:'( AMEX connect wine direct offer

Just noticed this offer for a free bottle of 2014 Pertaringa The Yeoman Shiraz with any purchase of $400 or more from WD. I needed some good bubbles and never shy away from a solid red offer, so I just used the code CONNECT250 to get the two packs below. Might even go again as there seems to be no limit to the amount of uses. I wonder if it will tie in with the 30% off sale they have around Xmas time? I don't really anticipate that the Pertaringa Yeoman will be as exquisite as a $250 price point suggests, but to have a crack at one for free? Sure, I'll bite! The secret sparkling dozen is the Tomich M Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir which is a bit of a winner, I grabbed some from the cellar door last time I visited the Hills. Have not tried a few of the reds in the pack, but there are some decent names there and I have been waiting to get my hands on the 2015 Massena 11th Hour Shiraz, so if it is any good, I'll be stocking up when 30% off is on!

Red Rendezvous at the 11th Hour & Tomich M Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir dozen = Total cost $419 vs total RRP $1384 so just a touch under 70% off. That's what I got, hopefully thats Christmas bubbles and reds sorted, now some things for the cellar! I was thinking of pulling the trigger on the champagne pack below and using the code again to get 2 bottles total of the Yeoman, but I have only tasted one of the Champagne, if anyone can shed some light on them for me, that would be much appreciated.

6x Champagne and a $250 Shiraz
