In a Tweet, the Money Saving Experts said: “Here’s a festive tip-ple for you!
“If you’re stocking up on wine, don’t pay full price – head to Tesco or Asda where you can get 25% off when you buy six or more bottles (including prosecco).”
At Asda, the offer applies both in store and online – but only selected bottles of wine fall into the deal.
Meanwhile at Tesco, Clubcard members can get 25% off six bottles of wine or fizz.

But the deal only applies to main supermarkets, with Tesco Express stores missing out on the offer.
And there are only two days left on the deals – so shoppers must act fast.
The Sun has rounded-up six tips from MSE website and weekly newsletter and The Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV.
Reduce your energy bill
Martin Lewis says that “focusing on energy efficiency” is the best way to “get your house in order” and save money.

In an episode of the Martin Lewis Money Show, he warned that tumble dryers could be pushing up energy bills.
The money saving expert suggested minimising your use, maximising your load and putting it on for less time.
He also suggested getting a dehumidifier as it uses a lot less wattage.
A dehumidifier can help dry clothes by absorbing moisture in the air, though it will be slower as it’s combined with air drying.
But if you don’t have one already, of course you’ll have to cover the cost of buying one first.
You can pick one up for as little as £45 but they can run into hundreds of pounds, depending on the type you buy.
You’ll still have the cost of running the device too, but it could work out as less than a tumble dryer.
Book Christmas food delivery slots early
Christmas is the busiest time of year to secure a delivery slot so you will want to get in early, according to MSE.
Most supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda, have now all released their slots.
Lots of them have been snapped up already, so you won’t want to hang around if you’re keen to get one secured.
The Sun has put together a guide on the exact dates Christmas delivery slots are to be released.
Plan your spending
MSE say that its important that shoppers calculate their budget first before they start planning their presents.
It can be tempting to make sure everyone gets all the gifts they want, but it’s not worth blowing your budget.
The experts at MSE say that being unprepared is a “recipe for ending up broke”.
