Thank Gd I gave up King Denizen's evil brew a few seasons ago...

but that's a drop in the vat ( no pun intended) compared to the FORCE of my nicotine addiction.

Fortunately where there's a will...there's a way...so far....at any rate.

Really missing the wine.. things have not been the same. I was able to balance everything nicely with some of that holy water. The black market is scamming people big time; I have seen cheap box wine go for R450 on the black market.
3 suppliers to date:
- 1 was selling R130 wine at R130
- 1 was selling R55 wine at R180
- 1 was selling R120 wine at R75

wish there were many more suppliers / opportunities to compare, but black market prices seem ok in that sample, just 1 scammer

In Guateng it's really difficult to get wine.

I've seen one supplier that sell a range of stuff that would normally be between R50-R100 all for R200 a bottle.

Did anyone in Capetown actually try buy direct from the wine farm?

Call them up and ask if they can make a plan if you are willing to pay cash and meat them on a back road?
