Aldi is tapping into Britain’s growing appetite for affordable luxury with a shake-up of its wine aisle, launching a new Spring/Summer range inspired by the world’s most fashionable holiday destinations and city wine bars.
With bottles from South Africa, Portugal and the south of France, the supermarket’s new range means shoppers can enjoy ‘a holiday in a bottle’ without the airfare.
The collection, available in stores from 16th March, brings the style and sophistication of urban wine bars to UK shoppers, combining trend-led flavours with exceptional value.
Range highlights:
City Wine Bar Chic
For those who enjoy a city break, the NEW Specially Selected Muscadelle (£9.99, 75cl) captures the vibe of a chic wine bar. A wine style often found on the menus of fashionable restaurants, this white offers a crisp, modern take on a classic variety. It serves up delicate floral and stone fruit aromas with a sophisticated, dry finish – the perfect bottle to bring a touch of urban elegance to any occasion.
Algarve Escape
Bringing a taste of Portugal’s sun-soaked south, the NEW Mimo Moutinho Algarve Red (£6.99, 75cl) captures the laid-back charm of the Algarve. This bold yet smooth red is rich in black-fruit character with warming, spicy notes. Comparable in style to a Southern Rhône red, it offers depth and approachability in equal measure – perfect for those looking to savour a relaxed holiday feel in every glass.
South African Sunshine
From the rolling hills of Stellenbosch comes the rich yet lively NEW Specially Selected Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc (£6.49, 75cl). Following the growing popularity of the region, this expansion of Aldi’s Stellenbosch range offers a wine where citrus, stone fruit and florals meet a waxy texture, making it a versatile match for everything from grilled fish to creamy pasta.
A Tuscan Dream
The popular Specially Selected Organic Costa Toscana Rosé (£7.99, 75cl) makes a welcome return. This pale, Provence-style rosé delivers tart raspberries and ripe strawberries with a lively, refreshing finish. For red wine fans, the NEW Specially Selected Chianti Governo (£9.99, 75cl) offers a smooth, modern style of Chianti, bursting with ripe cherry notes.
A Taste Of The Med
The returning Jolie by Juliette (£7.69, 75cl) is a crisp, vibrant French rosé that delivers ripe berries and juicy cherries, with its signature citrus twist offering a dry, refreshing taste of the Mediterranean.
Galician Coastal Classic
The sought-after Specially Selected Baron Amarillo Rías Baixas Albariño (£8.99, 75cl) is a summer staple. Crafted in Spain’s renowned Rías Baixas region, famous for producing some of the world’s finest Albariños, this crisp white wine delivers zesty citrus notes, subtle minerality and a bright, refreshing finish. Often dubbed the ‘Fish Wine’ by fans thanks to its perfect pairing with seafood, it’s an ideal bottle for bringing a taste of coastal Spain to the table.
These hero bottles, alongside the rest of the Spring Summer range, will be available in Aldi stores from 16th March.
