Tell me they were Darwin Stubbies (one litre bottles)!

No, 500 ml cans of Amstel ! The best buy was a bottle of wine for about
8 euro but they were corked bottles and your not going to get a cork
screw flight side are you ,lol

Bu contrast a 300 ml can of beer in Lidl was from 28 c and bottles of
wine started at 87 c

My Australian wallet just haemoraged at the thought! A slab (24 cans,
375ml each) is about $40 here or about $1.67 per 375ml can - that works
out to be @2.20 per 500ml. :-(

And yet, Australian's are famous/infamous for their love of the amber
liquid.
