Aldi first burst onto the scene in 1913, and have grown steadily since. Every week one new stores opens in the UK. In 1961 the supermarket rebranded as Aldi. They are a high street supermarket synonymous with quality at an affordable price. Their ‘no-frills’ approach i.e. simple store layout, stock of staple items means they pass cost savings directly to the consumer. Recently their wine and beverages section has undergone a ‘revamp’ with an influx of wines from the New World and Eastern European countries.

Make this most special of days in the calendar unforgettable with a selection of delicious roses from the Spanish wine maker, Grupo Cordoniu. From blush cava to still wine, any one of these three varieties is guaranteed to put Spanish sparkle and sexiness into your special day. Prices are reasonable so there’s no excuse to tuck up with your loved one and perhaps sample all three wines!, after all whoever said Valentine has to last for just one day only? (wink wink). Cordoniu has been making wines since 1551, and high quality traditional method sparkling wines for over 130 years. Cordoniu is today the number one cava brand in Spain. The wines are dry, but this in no way means they wouldn’t appeal to lovers of sweeter beverages.

It seems that just about every major winemaker is bringing out a range of easy drinking reduced alcohol wines, and Stowells are no different. Stowells is another south eastern Australian winemaker managed by the Accolade ‘parent’ company. Their aptly named ‘Stowells Light’ is not only just 5.5% abv, it has the added appeal of being light in calories too (60 –63 calories per glass). The alcohol conscious among you will be pleased to note that 5.5% equates to just one alcoholic unit per 125ml glass, and that reducing both calorie and alcohol content, doesn’t compromise on flavour or robustness. Just as you’d expect from a winemaker of Stowell’s calibre.

Here is our pick of wines from the Hardys Estate, south eastern Australia’s famous winemaker. These wines are widely available in supermarkets and off licences throughout the UK. Please note that while we encourage you to enjoy your beverages, we also advocate drinking responsibly. Experts say the recommended daily amount for women is 2-3 units and for men, 3-4 units of alcohol.
