Scotland's Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) law sets a minimum of 65p per unit of alcohol. A standard 75cl bottle of 13.5% wine is ~10 units — minimum price around £6.50–£7 in Scottish stores.
Promotions that do NOT apply in Scotland: Tesco "buy 6 save 25%" wine, Sainsbury's multi-bottle deals below MUP, and any deal bringing a bottle below the minimum price. Aldi and Lidl offer the best genuine wine value in Scotland.
Tesco Clubcard, Sainsbury's Nectar, Morrisons More Card — all free. Carry all three and shop where the best deal is each week.

Scotland's Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) law means alcohol can't be sold below 65p per unit — which kills most English-style wine multi-deals.
Tesco's "buy 6 save 25%" wine deal doesn't apply in Scottish stores. Neither do any deals bringing a bottle below the MUP floor price.
Their everyday shelf prices already sit just above MUP — no multi-buy gimmicks needed. Quality from £6.50, no loyalty card, no minimum spend.
Every few weeks Aldi runs wine Specialbuys (Thu & Sun) with award-winning bottles at £7–£12. Fully MUP-compliant — exceptional value.
Scotland's supermarket landscape differs from the rest of the UK and mainland Europe. Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) means alcohol costs more here than in England — a standard bottle of wine starts at around £6.50. For visitors, Aldi and Lidl offer the best value with no loyalty card required. Tesco and Sainsbury's accept contactless and international cards at all checkouts. Most large supermarkets in Scottish cities are open 7 days, typically 8am–10pm.
