Aldi wine picks
Aldi appears in 15 articles of hers, from 2022 to 2026. Prices are as they were when each article was written.
In her words
Two bottles stand out immediately: Veuve Monsigny Champagne from Aldi offers exceptional quality for under £15, with a style that feels far more premium than its price tag.
Some of my favourites include Crémant Du Jura from Aldi £8.99, Crémant de Bordeaux from M&S £10.00 and No.12 Crémant de Bourgogne from M&S Classics: £12.00.
Aldi's commitment to affordability means you can snag most bottles for under £10, and believe it or not, even their Champagne is priced under £20.
Aldi's top-rated wines included: An Austrian Chardonnay, Canadian Rosé, Amarone Della Valpolicella, Winemaster’s Lot Barbaresco, Vintage Cava, Canadian Riesling.
In fact, Aldi even offers a non-alcoholic option that gives Kylie Minogue's chart-topping non-alcoholic sparkling rosé a run for its money, and you won't believe how much cheaper it is!
Search for these wines in your local supermarket (Aldi has stocked lovely Chilean wines from Pais from time to time, for example, and Waitrose has an £8.99 Pais in its Loved & Found range, currently offered at 25% for 6 or more bottles) or from any reputable wine merchant.
