The Bual was still nearly ten quid a bottle. Not what I call cut-price booze.

But by your description ("We went to Blandy's for a tour and a Madeira tasting. The five-year-old Bual was on special offer so we bought six bottles,"), you bought it at a reduced price. So it is, by definition “Cut price booze”. When you start referring to some red wines, I think what you are trying to describe is “cheap” booze.

I am so glad I never had you as a teacher, as your grip on the English language is weak, to say the least.
