hat better way to mark the end of the working day than with a nice, cold drop of something special? With longer evenings here, there’s all the more reason to enjoy your post-work tipple out in the sunshine.
The only thing better? When said tipple costs less than it should. Booze that’s on sale somehow seems to taste all the more refreshing – and there’s never been a better time to stock up now that Amazon’s epic Prime Day sale is around the corner.
The internet giant isn’t just a place to pick up lightbulbs and loo roll; its digital shelves are heaving with a range of alcohol that would make your local offie blush. From Champagne and beer to low and no alcohol options, few options are spared from Amazon’s discount pen.
Even better, you can forget schlepping heavy, clinking carrier bags home with all bottles and cans delivered directly to your door.
From party planning and gift giving to restocking your bar cart, it’s time to get your boozy wishlist in order so you’re ready to pounce on the deals when the firing gun sounds.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Starting life as a one day event that happened in July way back in 2015, the famous sale expanded into a two-day extravaganza. Despite shifting around in the pandemic years, it has returned to its usual high summer billing in 2023.
When does Amazon Prime Day end this year?
The clock is ticking; you have until 23.59pm on July 12 to checkout your online basket.
What kind of alcohol deals are there?
It would be quicker to explain the types of alcohol that aren’t on offer. We’ve seen bottles of Jack Daniel’s at nearly 50 per cent off, leading gin brands going for a fraction of the usual price and a mixture of spirits, wine, beer and champagne, all at rock bottom prices.
How can I take part in Prime Day?
There’s only one catch, and as catches go, it’s pretty commitment-free. In order to take advantage of the special Amazon Prime Day sales, you must be a Prime member. Quite simple really.
Membership is about more than quick delivery: Amazon offers a range of services, entertainment and perks to its members, from the latest albums and must-watch TV shows to photo storage and immersive gaming.
You can choose to pay £8.99 a month; or settle your bill on a yearly basis for £95, which works out a little cheaper. If you’re still in school, college or uni, you’ll get a much better price. Amazon Student membership fees come in at: £4.49 per month; £47.49 per year.
Are there any alcohol discounts available now?
There sure are. See the best deals to shop on alcohol right now below

Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs Champagne, 75cl with 2 Flutes
Malfy Rosa Sicilian Pink Grapefruit Flavoured Gin
Malfy’s Rosa Sicilian Pink Grapefruit gin isn’t your usual pink gin. For a start, it’s far more zingy and refreshing with a classic gin undertone of juniper and coriander. This ever-so-popular bottle is a strong one, coming in at a 41 per cent ABV, which is something to keep in mind as you liberally pour yourself another round.
Distilled from Italian pink grapefruit, rhubarb and four other botanicals alongside all of the spirit’s classics, this sharp, fruity bottle is a summer staple. Serve with a wedge of pink grapefruit and wait for the sunshine to light up its pastel pink colouring.
