Hi Sue

To start a new topic, pick a general title on the message boards, Food Chat would have been a good place for your enquiry, then click on Start a New Topic and fill in the spaces provided. Try an eye catching heading, something like Beanfeast Help! and sit back and wait for the help and comments to roll in.

Happy posting!

David

Thank you for responding - sorry I didn't start a new post ... this was my first time, and I still don't know how to start a new one!! I have tried Batchelors, they can only tell me the supermarket chains they supply, then it is up to their central warehousing to distribute the Beanfeast, unfortunately none of it seems to come to Leicestershire. I think I have tried every single large store over the time, which is about two years when I could get it easily. I try on holiday too. I just need a regular stockist. Batchelors will not supply me direct.

Hi Suki,

I suggest you contact them direct, they have an enquiry service to help.

As a suggestion for your future postings, you will usually get a better response to questions if you start a new post rather than tagging a question on to an existing post.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Can anyone help me please, I am trying to find a store in UK which has in stock Batchelors Savory Mince Beanfeast ( a pkt of dried veggie mince).

I'll definitely have to give it a try! My local Tesco is only small but sometimes do online shopping (when feeling lazy! ) Will check it out.

Thanks x

i would describe it as a fruity dry, quite mellow and goes down a treat, i get it from onestop/dillons for £13.49 but it is deffo cheaper in tescos and budgeons

Thank you halo! You really are an angel!!

Namaqua. I discovered this about 12 months ago in Tescos. Comes in both red and white, both gluggable, and great for parties, as not too expensive. The white is not as nice as pinot grigio though

Being a sensible single mum, I have no-one to answer to! What is this Namaqua you are talking about? Is it red or white? It is not one I have heard of but if it is good enough to buy by the box, I will maybe have to try it. (ANY EXCUSE WILL DO!)

my sentiments exactly porridge, but will say i don't drink before 12pm lunchtime unless i am abroad on holiday, then i start around 11am i have seen the weightwatchers wine in my local onestop/used to be dillons shop, didn't take much notice of it tbh, my favourite wine at the moement is namaqua that comes in a box , but the good thing about that is the OH doesn't see how much i have had to drink lol, unlike with empty bottles (he is a muslim and teetotal)

Wherever you are Sarah, remember it is an appropriate time somewhere in the world!! Cheers

Do we ever. It has arrived and the corkscrew is at the ready. Can you please tell me what is deemed as inappropriate a time to start drinking?????

Tee hee Sarah, I have never needed an excuse to drink a bottle!!

Porridge! Thank you. I can now blame this site when I buy it by the case. Trouble is, the temptation to drink by the glass or two is increased to drinking by the bottle (or two)!!!

Pinot Grigio is one of my favourite wines too Sarah, slips down very nicely doesn't it - only two bottles coming with your supermarket delivery - you should buy it by the case, you normally get a bit of extra discount too - mind you it usually goes very quickly that way!!

Although not low calorie, have to say I have difficulty with white wines as a whole, always preferring red ........ until that is that a friend brought round a bottle of Pinot Grigio!! SUBLIME! Easy drinking, light and delicate! So now can't get enough. Am sitting patiently waiting for my supermarket delivery containing another two bottles!!

hi thanks,i have tried these wines and they look better than they taste.they both have a after taste of vinagar.but thankyou anyway.ill keep trying.

I seem to recall seeing a Weight Watchers wine on the shelves in Asdas a few months ago. It was a rose wine and looked to be quite sweet and lowish in alcohol.

thanks hippo that will be a great help.

I seem to remember trying a low cal chardonnay once, but it didn't taste very nice - mid you I'm not keen on chardonnay either! but I am sure that came from Tesco.

hey lemongrass, im gonna have to look into that for u, interesting point tho, there doesnt seem to be any low cal wines on the market off the top of my head, but will investigate this for u.

hey,new to the site,was wondering hungryhippo if you knew of any wines red or white that are low in cals.working for slimming club and doin some research,your input would be a great help, or anyone else.........

Hey, the croc rock is on special at half price at the moment as is fying off the shelves quicker than our hot cross buns, seems like this offer is a good one. a very popuar wine but havnt tried it myself yet. Now where did i put my discount card......

Absolutely fantastic, it is one of my fave wines and for that price - in the end we bought 12 bottles! I would buy it at full price for special occasions but please put it on special offer again - I am also enjoying the Crocodile Rock sauvignon blanc which is on offer at the moment

hey wine lovers, im a trading manager for tesco and we sold so much chablis over xmas and new years, we had customers fighting over it. jus wanted your views on the wine, wot u thought of it, value for money, and if u would buy it again.
