Believe it or not, but Tesco's do a lot of expensive wines - well they do in the Bedford store. They're displayed in boxes with hay and stuff. Seen some £40+ bottles in there 
ClubCard points too

That's not off topic at all. And sorry, I'm not sure... I fancy that idea of aged wine though. Great stuff.
