Not at the current prices for new customers. I'm currently paying 50,07€ct/kWh here in northern Germany.
25W * 8760h * 0,5€ = ~109€ per year.
The price hurts, yes, but the waste of power is _criminal_.

So while it's true that that standby consumption is at least good for something in winter, a lower standby consumption and in turn turning up the central heating a little more would normally still be the better choice.
