Classic summer wines from Aldi with Cathal McBride
Award-winning wines, vibrant flavours and unbeatable value, ALDI's range shines again this summer with a stellar line-up. From crisp Champagne to zesty whites and vibrant rosés, check out my pick of the perfect summer sips, including highlights from the Specially Selected range, which offers great quality and great-value bottles. Whether it's a garden party, casual dinner or grand soirée, there is a wine here to elevate every occasion. Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut €23.99 No summer soirée is complete without some refreshing bubbles—and none more so than Champagne. The award-winning Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut, crowned World's Best Champagne, delivers enticing aromas of crisp apples, macadamia nuts, toasted notes, and white florals. Its clean, crisp palate is brilliantly evocative, with vibrant citrus acidity and a strong mousse. Undoubtedly superb value for money and universally crowd-pleasing, this is also an elegant and refined wine suited to any occasion. Kooliburra Cabernet Sauvignon €9.99 This is made with grapes from two of Australia's most famous winemaking regions, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, both known for their outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe fruits draw you in with notes of blackcurrants, dark cherries, a touch of green pepper and spice. The palate is plush with dense fruit, balanced by ample acidity and lengthy tannins. A well balanced wine to coincide with the smoky elements of BBQ meats but also roasted beef, lamb and chargrilled vegetables. Pierre Jaurant Le Petit Poulet Rosé €8.99 A delightfully fresh nose with engaging ripe red berries sits alongside a layer of lime zest and white flowers from this southern Rhône blend. The palate represents much of the same as where vibrant red berry fruit marries alongside some textured stone fruit. Zippy with a good mouthfeel and body, this is a fun yet elegant rosé that's ideal for summer fare, think roast chicken, salads, and even dishes with a spicy edge. Delightfully quaffable and a summer bargain. Specially Selected Pinot Grigio Blush DOC €7.99 From ALDI's Specially Selected range this shows a stunning rose gold colour in the glass, obtained from the skins of the grapes. Ripe red berries present on the nose with a fleck of blood orange citrus and fresh minerality. A rounded mouthfeel with vibrant grapefruit citrus acidity to hold court is followed by a lengthy peppercorn finish, and a light tannic structure makes it ideal with food. Pair with an array of seafood such as grilled prawns, summer salads and soft cheeses. Specially Selected Freemans Bay Gisborne Pinot Gris €9.49 Another top-drawer example from ALDI's Specially Selected range, this New World Alsatian style Pinot Gris flourishes with exuberant aromatics of lemon zest, white flowers, acacia, mango and apple. The palate is nicely balanced, fresh with green apple and melon with a rounded harmony and crisp with a delightful lemon acidity. Bright and elegant, this is great value for money. Perfect with seafood risotto, light pasta dishes, salads or roast pork. Castellore Organic Prosecco DOC Extra Dry €14.49 Another award-winning wine, this Prosecco from a family-run winery in the Veneto region in Northern Italy offers delicate and engaging aromas of pear and apple, with a fleck of toasted nuts and lemon spritz. Fresh, fun, convivial and bright, this is an extra dry Prosecco with a lot of personality and summer freshness. A brilliant value organic wine and an ideal aperitif for your summer gatherings.

Aldi restricts sales on its own Oasis Champagne as shoppers queue from 6am
Aldi kicked off the long-awaited Oasis reunion by launching a brand new champagne inspired by one of their biggest hits. In fact, it's been so popular sales have been restricted. The supermarket giant recently unveiled its limited-edition Supernova Champagne that paid homage to the iconic anthem. Retailing at just £14.95, it went on sale at its Manchester-based Bury New Road store, which is not far from where the band began. With Oasis mania sweeping the UK since the comeback tour launched on Friday, July 4, it's no surprise to hear that the bubbly has been flying off the shelves so much that Aldi has had to introduce a one-bottle-per-customer limit. According to the supermarket, its fizz has been so popular with devoted Oasis fans, it saw some of them queue outside stores from as early as 6am, as one said: "I left at quarter past six and waited an hour before the store opened – the bottle looks amazing." Another is reported to have said: "I got here for half six. My wife's a big Oasis fan so I came to grab her a bottle – I've just called my mates to come down too." One other shopper with a similar idea added: "I drove from London for the Champagne after I saw the post. I thought, I must try and get a bottle!" With limited stock available and the added one per customer limit, Aldi has advised customers to make sure they don't miss out by snapping it up while it's in stores, as once it's gone, it's gone. Despite its humble price-tag, the new Oasis-inspired champagne has been crafted from Aldi's award-winning Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut that was recently crowned as "the best in the world." Now featuring a "striking" new Supernova design, the champagne boasts the same taste that has been matured for longer to enhance its complexity, with its taste boasting notes of citrus, strawberry and baked apple. Considering its popularity, our reporter Rachel Williams managed to nab a bottle for herself just ahead of the Oasis reunion last week, confirming that it was "class in a glass" for under £15. Praising its taste and colour, she wrote: "I was actually surprised by how delicate it was, both in colour and taste. It wasn't overly-yellow like some champers, nor was it too fizzy, making me feel a touch like Goldilocks trying it out. "For me, this was perfect balance of zest and sweetness, with a touch of a dry finish, but it never got overly acidity which can be the case with some champagne's. In fact, this was quite mellow and almost way to easy to drink multiple glasses in one go." She finished her review of the Oasis champagne by adding: "Aside from its luxury and award-winning reputation, it offers a delicate, light, yet no less vibrant, glass of bubbly that will be ideal for toasting at any special event, especially for the duration of Oasis' tour." Meanwhile, speaking of the supermarket's latest launch, Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: "We're thrilled to launch Supernova Champagne, a special, limited-edition rebrand of our award-winning Veuve Monsigny. "We're offering shoppers a unique and memorable way to raise a glass to this iconic moment in music history." Aldi's Supernova Champagne (£14.95, 75cl) is available in Aldi's Bury New Road, Manchester store while stocks last. Remember, only one bottle per customer will be allowed.
