Yes it is - buy it through Tesco wine online and the quantity discounts are available.  I believe its down to the fact you are making an online purchase with a supplier who is based in England.  Curiously, its the local store who makes the deliveries!

Just had a bottle of wine called "16 Little Black Pigs" a south Australia shiraz 2012.  Have to say it was really nice, very smooth.   I am amazed the title is allowed!!
Anyway, we got it as a present from our daughter and son in law in a box of wine from Virgin.   We would buy it again as we really enjoyed it.

I think little black pigs are quite acceptable farm animals to name a wine after Jacqui :D

So do I Scunner, but my Granddaughter's Nursery have put out an edict that the words to Ba Ba Black Sheep are now to be sung as Ba Ba Pink Sheep????   I forgot a few days ago and sung Ba Ba Black sheep to Erin, who was totally mystified, this is taking P.C. just too far. 
This really hacks me off as there are no pink sheep, but there are black sheep.  The words in children's books have now been changed to Pink Sheep... What a crock...

But surely to call a wine "16 Little Black Pigs" would upset devout muslims and put them off buying it? Oh, hang about a minute ...

Last year I could have got a picture of pink sheep.  this year they are yellow.  Plenty black sheep in fields around here.
Farmers trying to protect from sheep rustling are dying their sheep!!!

Have you seen yellow sheep around here Heather? I swear, fields of them, there's one flock close to the motorway near Kinross.

Sainsbury's 7 8 9 Pinot Grigio is a superb wine, currently 2 for a tenner. I know you can get cheaper but this is a great price for this one.
