There were unbelievable scenes outside (and inside) a branch of Lidl in Gloucester today as people queued round the block for a super deal on Prosecco.

People were lining up to snap up six bottles of its own-brand Allini Prosecco for the bargain price of £20.

That’s the equivalent of just £3.33 a bottle when the usual price is £5.39.

One person who joined the queue outside the Eastern Avenue branch of Lidl at around 7.57am said: “There was a massive queue when I arrived.

“People were picking up lots of boxes but when they got to the till, they were told it was one box per person.

“It was sold out by 8.05am.”

There were similar scenes across the county and the UK.

One woman contacted us after visiting the Dursley store today.

She said: "We arrived at the Dursley store at 9am to be told all sold out at 8.05am.

"Having seen adverts that it was in store Saturday and Sunday we believed there would be enough stock how naive we were.

"We saw two women with three boxes who looked really uncomfortable, I asked them politely where it was and was told they had reserved it.

"When I asked at the till to reserve a box from Sunday's this was not allowed.

"We feel disappointed."
