Now look readers, I m advised that from Monday ,Aldo will be selling fine wines for £9.99
Argentinian Malbec and Languedoc reds and ,if my memory serves me right, a white Burgundy.
Its called , "the Lot Series". Its not related to the Lot et Garonne department ;these are wines created by some chap who is a leading wine maker specifically for Aldi- given their buying power.
Enjoy..
The socialists can carry on with their BOW, however there is a cider called St Etienne, which Ive tested with my smoked haddock and it was tidy.

£9.99 !!!!!!! The wine we brought back on our last motorhome trip to France (about 300 bottles) averaged out at about £1.50. And it's actually all very nice.
The thought of paying £9.99 would give me a heart attack. | | | |

I'm currently living in Brussels paying 4.99 yoyos for said Malbec at a very favourable exchange rate. Hahahaha also some very lovely champagne at 9.99 a pop. Coming home for Easter with a large supply! |  |

Anyone who pays £9.99 for a bottle of plonk needs their head looking at. |  | | |

Cheaper to make your own from kits. Tastes just as good as anything you can buy for less than a tenner in a supermarket. |  |

If you like Malbec go to Lidl's and buy the Chateau de Grezels Cahors £5.99
I used to drink this a lot in France and it really is a very decent Cahors.. | | | |

Why not just stick to meths boys? Good wines can be a real joy and hopefully give Aldi's great skill in wine buying I look forward to trying this range. Having done a fair bit of wine tasting (Loire, Burgundy, Jura, Ardeche, British Columbia and California) it is startling how much better wines above 20 quid are. Not for everyday but as a treat a few times a year. Some wines I tried in Mersault blew me away and in fairness Aldi had a good one a while back for 18 quid. | | | |

Thanks-I'll try that. Had some good Bordeaux there last year and the Pedro Ximinez from Chile the best white for under 4 quid in the UK at the moment. | | | |

It will be a Languedoc red, Tasmanian Chardonnay and Chilean Leyda Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The Argie Malbec/Cabernet blend arrives in May according to my sauce from the distribution centre. The red is a pretty serious offering and the Chardonnay undercuts similar offerings online by at least a fiver. I may give these two a whirl. | | | |

The fixed costs of any imported wine at around a fiver will mean that what's in the bottle is actually only around 12-17% of the total cost. Much less than a quid.
Spending more really does make sense.
Plenty of bargains a tenner and under out there but once you get past around £15 you tend to see a huge difference. £20 even more so.
£15 doesn't get me four pints of bitter in my local. |  | | |

Absolutely-I tend to get most in the £6-10 range with the occasional treat thrown in. As you say 7 quid buys you about 4 quid of wine, 4 quid a quids worth. The only way a wine can be cheaper is a bulk tank wine bottled more locally. These can be OK-Aldi's legendary Toro Loco is a decent straightforward wine, but a tenner brings a whole new world. Been drinking Penfold's Koonunga Hill Seventy Six and Lehman's Pastor's Son Shiraz blends- recently both around the 10-12 quid mark, but would rather have one bottle of this than three of the more basic wines these days-the pleasure is in the quality not being sozzled on plonk. Looking forward to the Aldi 10 quid range, as their Exquisite range punches a couple of quid higher than the 6-7 quid they cost. The Tasmanian Chardonnay looks very good value indeed. | | | |

The best wine I've ever drunk was a Languedoc Red. It was about 35 euros for a 500ml bottle in a restaurant in Mougins about 10 years ago. Could only sample it as I was driving. It was also the cheapest on the menu, some of them were 1,000 euros plus. |  |

Nothing wrong with a cold pint of Bow on a nice summers evening after a hard day fishing.  | | | |

some seriously good wines from Languedoc and the Ardeche these days-partly driven by the price Rhone wines have now reached. The understanding that a quality wine (like Mas de Daumas Gassac) could be made has changed the area from exclusively producing 10 franc a litre plonk to good value for money wines in the 5-15 pound range. One of the big Burgundy names (Loius Latour) now has an Ardeche winery making high quality gluggers at around 5 euros a bottle rather than 10-20 for the bottom end of Burgundy. It is worth it if you can produce a good Viognier for a tenner a throw as the price of Condrieu from the Rhone has spiralled in the last 10 year-often 50 quid a bottle. Certainly this is an area (along with the Lore where wines are undervalued) for value in France. Chile and increasingly South Africa are probably the best value for money, but rarely are theses stunning wines-with the exeption of a Bordeaux Blend (Glen Carlou) from SA. I'm going to a conference in Cape Town, so hope to get a day tasting around Stellenbosch then. | | | |

Yep, I have a couple of bottles maturing nicely.
I'm attempting to keep them for a couple of years but it's not easy. | | | |

I'm sure they've started adding saccharine to Strongbow though - it doesn't taste as good as it used to. I prefer a pint of Symonds if it's on tap. |  |

Paticuarly fond of the Beaverdale Merlot
Very nice not the cheapest at £40 per kit but well worth it |  |
