Bells incidentally, always was 395 in my local Tesco. Don't know about Tesco, but at Big C supermarket, Makro, food land and 7/11 Bells is 349 Baht for 70 cl and 495 for 1 liter.

I'd rather pay more for a brand that causes no issues.

Scottie12 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Dewars White Label is a lovely whisky and very reasonably priced for its quality. It was, and maybe still,is, the best selling whisky in the USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebaxter Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Still 399 in our local mini big C, would not drink Bells if it was free, or JW Red label, you would have a drink problem to go that low ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmcleod Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I think it is the same reason that Warfarin(coumaden) and most of the other name brand drugs have gone up about 20% at Fascino. Whatever that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 If you are one of those people that don't like supporting Red Bull don't buy Blend 285. It's the same company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the 700 ml bottle which until today cost 399 for a 700 mls bottle. All I can say is .......... Red Cock Vodka, 150bht for a 700ml bottle in any Tesco Lotus. Tastes exactly the same as every other unflavoured Vodka. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 DUH, cause they know many drinkers are addicts and they will pay. That's cheap to what I saw Brits pay for liquor (when they didn't want to drink still swill) in the K.S.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
