Thresher’s three-for-two deal across its whole portfolio has helped reveal what people really like to drink, according to trading director Alex Ansen.
“New Zealand wines are really flying off the shelf,” said Ansen. “Old World classics have also really come to the face, such as those from Burgundy and Rioja. And France’s Louis Jadot and Spain’s Campo Viejo have been selling well.”
Ansen said the deal, which has been running for six months, had encouraged consumers to trade up to a higher average price point and select wines through choice rather than those on promotion.
The findings have helped Thresher plan out its range of premium wines priced between £7-15 for its Wine Rack format, relaunched earlier this month.
“The three-for-two offer will run across the whole wine portfolio in Wine Rack, offering an even better deal to consumers,” said Ansen.
