Best alcohol deals for Black Friday 2023: Offers on gin, whisky and more

Not only do we fill our diaries with social plans to make the winter months more tolerable, but the colder seasons bring forth an array of festive celebrations worth making a fuss about.

Americans living in the UK will throw a feast for Thanksgiving, while we Brits begin to delve through our festive jumper collections and pick out our best, velvet frocks in time for Christmas dinner. Some party enthusiasts plan ahead for New Year’s Eve months ahead, ensuring that their wardrobes are filled to the brim with the suitably glittery ensembles to ring in another full rotation of the Earth.

One element that parties tend to have on offer is some kind of tasty tipple. Whether considered a social lubricant or a cheeky indulgence, many would consider a festive event incomplete without some kind of party spirit – and we’re not talking about the atmosphere.

A lesser-known party trick that all hosts with the most should know about is to stock up on alcohol months before the festive event is actually set to take place. Not only does this avoid price hikes, but it ensures you get the best possible deals – that is if you shop for booze during the biggest sales event of the year: Black Friday.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday occurs over the last weekend of November every year. This year, Black Friday will fall on Friday, November 24.

What is Black Friday?

An annual sales event started by our friends over in the USA back in the 1970s, Black Friday marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping frenzy with jaw-dropping deals across the board: from home appliances and tech to laptops, air fryers and more.

When does Black Friday end?

Black Friday ends with Cyber Monday on November 27, which serves as the final day of long weekend sales.

What kind of deals can we expect?

Prices will be slashed across the board, and you’ll be able to save big on large appliances like TVs, as well as the smaller bits and bobs such as beauty, clothes and – of course – booze.

Are there any alcohol discounts available now?

Indeed, there are. We’ve already got you covered with a selection of the best alcohol deals available right now.

Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Rosé

With the biggest vineyard estate in Champagne, Moët & Chandon has become a byword for French fizz since 1743, but it’s not one to to rest on its laurels.

Now, the makers take their rosé production just as seriously as their flagship blend, with no less than two facilities dedicated to creating quality red wines for its pink portfolio.

Its signature? The ultra-modern Moët & Chandon Impérial Rosé: an expressive and aromatic blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay that serves up vivacity and finesse with generosity and structure. In short: a pink that’s popular for very good reason.
