As sherrardk has reminded us that it's Aldi £5 voucher week, I thought a quick trawl through their wine list wouldn't hurt :
£3.99 - a very quaffable Zin Blush (from Puglia not California) - get it nice and cold and have with salads/fish or even with afternoon tea on the lawn :+)
£5.69 - award winning NZ Sauv Blanc - proper "cat pee on a gooseberry bush" flavours - very bold and a big mouthful - great with BBQ food for people who don't drink reds
£7.29 - an excellent Prosecco - the absolute dog's bits - show me another bottle of fizz under a tenner that can hold a candle to this and I'll be very surprised
I went to a music festival recently and a few of us took bottles of Prosecco. I took the Aldi one because I wanted to try it, someone took the Waitrose one and somebody else took one from M&S. The Aldi one was OK (ish) until we compared it with the others and then it didn`t stand up to scrutiny. I wouldn`t bother again but Aldi`s Pinot Grigios are good - the blush one is particularly good value.
The voucher (in the Mirror/Record tomorrow) is for £5 off £40 - so judicious purchasing knocks around 12% off the prices above. So the Tempranillo is an effective £3.25 or so a bottle - very nice :+)
I have never managed to spend more than £30 in Aldi as the prices are so reasonable. I can`t imagine spending £40. Maybe I should stock up on champagne to bump the price up
True hc - and not just for culinary purposes - when fashioned into a hat it renders the wearer invisible to US spy planes and immune to the conspiracies of the Bilderberg Group ..... possibly
Just discovered aldi for Pinot - love it
Not really tried anything else other than face serum which is a guardian must buy
Will certainly try the tin foil now
Thanks for the recommendations
