ALDI has released its latest collection of seasonal wines, with cracking value across its red wine range just in time for the chilly months.
This curated selection serves up locally sourced award-winning sips and world-quality drops at unbeatable prices, with the most affordable glass of red in the range pouring for 90c ^(McGuigan Black Label Red 1L, $8.99).
ALDI’s Wine Expert and Director of Buying, Jason Bowyer, shares a little about each new drop in ALDI’s liquor section*, and says he is confident Aussies will be blown away by their quality.
Jason says: “As the temperature drops, there’s nothing like a glass of red to warm things up—whether you’re unwinding at home or sharing a hearty meal with friends and loved ones. With everything from a bold Shiraz to vibrant European varietals, our winter red wine range brings rich flavour and top-notch quality to your table without stretching your budget.”
“This year we’re seeing a balance of both worlds — with some wine drinkers looking for more lighter and fresher styles, while others stick with those classic, full-bodied favourites. Fortunately, when you look at ALDI’s selection of drops this season, there is truly something for every person and price point!” he continues.
