It would be cheaper buying this tonic wine from a local corner shop, the average price in one of these little shops is around £6.50 and you of course will have zero delivery cost, however not everywhere stocks this, so this may not be an option for you. You can however buy buckfast online.
My understanding of why not everyone stocks this is because the sort of customers that are attracted to their shop to buy it. They would rather do without the added hassle, at least one shop owner I have read stated this was his sole reason for not selling it.
Sales for Buckfast Tonic Wine have decreased over the last few years and the drink has continuously been the topic of many a conversation of whether it should be banned or not.
In saying all that though, the monks who famously make this drink at Buckfast Abbey in Devon do donate some profits to charities, with £107,420 being donated in the 2012 financial year, most of this was donated to Scottish charities, with St Andrews hospice receiving the most, £100,000.
I buy all my hard to find drinks at Amazon, they usually offer at the best price.
