Type of Crimps Questions

[fjr1300]

Looks like I'm going to have to get a couple of crimp tools - one for up to 6mm and then one for up to 16 or 25mm then a shed load of different crimps. - Prices in the UK are about a 1/3rd of the French versions.

BTW. Wine - When I lived in the UK French wine was crap so always got Australian/South African stuff but since living in France the local stuff is just as good so IT IS true that they send all the crap stuff to the UK.
The stores have a half a shelve dedicated to "Foreign" wines and cost around 7€ a bottle.

Our local LIDL's do some nice South African wines for around 1.80€ a bottle, saw the exact same stuff in Southampton LIDL's for £4.80 last year - so someone if ripping someone off !

it's called tax/duty/MP's subsidised bar. we pay £4.80. them that supposedly run the country get it for a quid. and then they fiddle expenses.

Yeh - and I think LIDL's have a hard battle to sell none French wines to the French - Us Brits don't care we will drink it if it tastes good and we'll drink more of it if its cheap,

Even the 0.70 per ltr stuff in the "Brown Plastic Jug" tastes better than some £7 French bottle in the UK but you do have to be a bit ****ed to realise this

I always thought the boxes were a great idea, you finish the vino and inside the box is a nice inflatable pillow to collapse onto. A well thought out packaging idea if ever there was one.
