CHATGPT RECOMMENDS CHARDONNAY, PINOT NOIR AND MARGARITAS FOR BANK HOLIDAY PARTIES – AND THEY’LL COST YOU JUST £1.17 PER SERVE AT ALDI.

With more bank holidays than ever this May thanks to the King’s Coronation (6^th May) meaning more backyard barbeques and alfresco picnics, supermarket Aldi reached out to ChatGPT to ask the ‘go-to’ selection of refreshing wines and cocktails perfect for upcoming celebrations.

Responding with a selection of crisp wines and zingy cocktails, shoppers will be delighted to know they can find everything they need at the Cheapest Supermarket of the Year[1], for as little as £1.17 – cheers to that!

ChatGPT has been causing quite the stir lately. Built and trained on a massive internet dataset it generates human-like responses to a wide range of prompts. Using an artificial intelligence model, the retailer challenged the chatbot to plan a wider range of tipples that would go down a storm with party guests this summer.

According to the Chatbot, the two best wine options are Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, due to them being ‘light enough to drink on a warm day, but still has enough body to stand up to heartier dishes like burgers and grilled meats.’

Aldi’s Top wine picks:

Pierre Jaurant French Chardonnay (£4.69, 75cl) a fresh and flavoursome wine, this crisp white boasts flavours of vibrant stone fruits coupled with soft vanilla notes, finished with a hint of spice for a well-balanced acidity.

Specially Selected Australian Pinot Noir (£7.49, 75cl) a light pale but delicious red with an elegant palate showcasing plum fruits flavours paired with notes of classic berries including cranberry & raspberry – the perfect summertime sip.

For those who want to kick the party up a notch, for cocktails suggestions, ChatGPT recommends serving up some summertime classics, including a Margarita, Aperini Spritz and Gin and Tonic.

Infusionist Margarita Cocktail (£1.74 per serving)

Shoppers can cut the fuss with Aldi’s ready-to-pour cocktails, packed with fresh lime and sweet orange flavours that meet tequila and triple sec liqueur for a sweet but sour cocktail. Simply shake with ice and pour into a salted martini glass with a garnish of lime to tease out salty senses. And at £6.99, 50cl shoppers could also save 63% (£12) compared to M&S’ version! [1]

Aperini Spritz (£1.20 per serving)
