Wines at Aldi

Where's that?

Altrincham.

I saw it first. Hands off. :-)

I drink their Landshut riesling quite often. Sometimes they have it in spatlese, also nice. Of their other offerings I've haven't regreted anything for the price they charge.

Quite a few yard parties started there...

England - UK.

The Eiswein and Beerenauslese they get in for Christmas usually seem to attract favourable comments on the UK Wine Forum.

Personally I would rather pay more and get better. It isn't as if German wine is overpriced generally. See Cambridge Wine Merchants for example for mature Germain wines.

Ooops yes sorry folks - I keep forgetting this is not a UK-based NG

:-)

Oh, let's just clear that up right now.

We all know this is a Napa Valley-based NG.

Have a nice day.

(ducking and running for cover from those that can't tell I'm *just kidding*)

I could have sworn it was based in Leverkusen... ; - )

We have 2 ALDI in the DC USA metro area. the one in VA carries wine.

I bought 1 of each of the 10 or so they carried a while back. Most were from Chile. some were from USA.

I only have one left.

Winking Owl 2005 Cabernet. the back label reads just like any "fine" wine from CA.

It was $2.50 a bottle.

In addition to what others stated:

Aldi has a certain reputation for buying overproduction directly at the producers (for a mere sing) and hence being able to sell, well, decent wines at very reasonable prices.

Aldi's major drawback, however, is that they don't carry most of these wines in their permanent assortment; rather, you'll find them only occasionally and for a brief period. The way to go is to buy one bottle, to open and taste it the same day and, if satisfied, to go and buy as much of the rest as you can get...

As always, the "individual mileage" disclaimer is applicable.
