To buy Blandy's Sercial 1940, I would have to pay £110 + VAT at the Wine Society, of which I am a member, or approx 6x £170 + VAT from Fine & Rare Wines. I don't think I paid more than £50 (VAT incl) for my bottle.

An alternative, and more pleasant, strategy is to get on a flight to Funchal, where early 20th Century Madeiras can be bought quite easily from several shops, or direct from the producers. Quite possibly you don't even have to leave the airport - you could maybe pick something up from the Blandy shop in the departure lounge.
