UNDER £5 AWARD WINNING WINES TO SURVIVE THE JANUARY CRUNCH

This week is for many, the most financially challenging of the year as the expense of Christmas has truly taken its toll. Thanks to Aldi, shoppers needn’t fear as the supermarket’s resident drinks expert and Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn has handpicked a selection of the supermarket’s top bottles under £5, that prove you don’t have to compromise on quality or taste in order to cut back a little this month.

Firmly established as the go-to destination for affordable yet delicious wine, Aldi continues to bust the common myth that affordable wines mean poor quality – testament to the 211 awards achieved for its wine range in 2019 alone.  
Sam Caporn MW, Aldi’s Mistress of Wine, comments: “When it comes to wine, a low-price tag doesn’t have to mean low quality – it’s all about understanding the grape varieties and flavours you enjoy! Aldi is known for its great quality wines and with many award-winning bottles available for under £5, it’s no surprise Brits are being savvier with their choices.”
 
 Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK said: “At Aldi we have the most efficient business model in the supermarket sector and enjoy close long-term relationships with our suppliers. It’s through these partnerships that we are able to work together to provide outstanding quality wines, at unbeatable prices.”
