Best value advent calendars for alcohol including wine, gin and spirits
We've looked at the top tipsy advent calendars to see if the price is worth it
THE best value boozy advent calendars have been revealed - and some give you a lot more alcohol for your money than others.
We've looked at the top tipsy advent calendars for wine, gin and beer to see if the price is worth it for the amount of booze you get inside.
Alcoholic advent calendars vary wildly in price, with some costing up to £140 but others costing as little as £34.99.
We've calculated how much booze you get in each calendar and how much you're paying for each measure to work out the best value calendars.
The advent calendars are a fun way for grown-ups to count down the days until December 25.
But be aware that if you're mostly concerned about how much booze you're getting for your money, you can buy the same amount of alcohol included in the calendars much cheaper elsewhere.
This would give you 4.5 litres of wine - and for an extra £3.89, you could buy another bottle and still spend £22.76 less on wine than you would if you bought the advent calendar.
- Wine Advent Calendar, £49.99 from Aldi - available from November 4
WORST VALUE
- Wine Advent Calendar, £79.99 from Virgin Wines -
The best and worst gin advent calendars
BEST VALUE
Aldi's 12 Gins of Christmas calendar which comes with 12 5cl measures of gin and 12 150ml bottles of tonic is by far the cheapest spirits calendar at £34.99.
But it does only contain 12 measures of gin.
The low price works out at just £1.45 per gin and tonic - so it could be worth buying two if you really want to count down all 24 days in December before Christmas.
In total, the calendar contains 2.4 litres of gin and tonic.
The price is good, but you can buy a 70cl bottle of Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin for £9.99 at Aldi, and a litre bottle of tonic for about 30p at most supermarkets - so it's cheaper to forget the calendar and just buy a bottle.
- Tiny Tipsy Tree with flavoured gin, £140 from First 4 Hampers -
The best and worst value beer advent calendars
BEST VALUE BEER
Adnams also does a well priced beer calendar for £54.99 for 24 bottles.
- Beer Calendar, £39.99 from Iceland - not yet available
WORST VALUE
Best of British Beer's Christmas Tree Beer Advent Calendar is much pricier than Iceland's at £85 and it only contains 330ml bottles.
That works out at £3.50 a bottle.
You can buy some of the bottles included in the calendar, from breweries such as Windsor & Eton, for £2.25 a bottle, meaning you'd be better off buying 24 individual bottles.
