Gall & Gall Wilde Wijn Dagen 31/08-06/09

Gall & Gall's Wilde Wijn Dagen runs 23 pages, led by a second bottle at 50 percent with kies and mix across 1800 wines. Two bottles at the same price work out at 75 percent each, and when you mix, how you pair decides what you save.

What you need to know

This Gall & Gall issue is called Wilde Wijn Dagen and runs to 23 pages. The cover leads on 2e fles 50%, marked KIES & MIX with Keuze uit 1800 wijnen, a free choice across eighteen hundred wines. The bottles shown include a Pierre de Prunet rosé, a Mucho Más white, a Riporta Primitivo from Puglia, a Canti Prosecco DOC and a La Palma Chardonnay 2024 from Chile.

A second bottle at half price needs spreading out before it means anything. On two bottles of the same price you hand over the cost of one and a half, which makes each bottle 75 percent of its normal price, not 50. Skip that step and it reads as a half-price event.

What actually decides your saving is how you pair. Kies and mix means the two bottles need not be the same wine, and in promotions of this shape the discount normally lands on the cheaper bottle. Pair an expensive one with a cheap one and it is the cheap one that gets halved, which is the smallest saving available to you. To get the most out of it, pair two bottles of similar price. If you do want one dear and one cheap, read the shelf label first to confirm which bottle the discount attaches to. A range of eighteen hundred wines also means this is not a grab-whatever offer; it repays deciding on both bottles before you walk in.
