Stock up and save for Christmas with SeaFrance
Save around £2 per bottle comparing French to British prices !!
Despite fluctuating exchange rates and changing EU laws, savvy British shoppers today still save on wine prices by buying in France, and autumn is a great time to head over the Channel to stock up for Christmas, and make the most of low autumn ferry fares.
Wine in France is cheaper for the simple reason that it doesn't have UK duty applied, saving £1.69 per bottle on still wine, or £2.16 per bottle on sparkling wine. Add to that the saving you'll also make on the VAT, and most bottles of wine will be at least £2 cheaper in France than in the UK.
Getting there is great value too, and SeaFrance operates up to 30 daily crossings on the Dover-Calais route. Fares for a car and up to five passengers start from just £25 each way (£50 return, or just £10 return per person) online for any duration and from £19 return for a day trip, (less than £4 return per person based on five in a car). There's no limit on alcohol brought back, as long as it's for personal use only.
Take a trip this autumn and make it a day to remember, perhaps also stopping off at Restaurant Aqua'Aile (www.aquaraile.com) in Calais, where the food has this month been described by Olive magazine as "sensational", or popping in to Les 2 Caps (www.2caps.fr) artisan brewery to try their Noire de Slack stout, perfect for winter nights in.
