I tasted 21 of Aldi’s Specially Selected wines. These are the ones their buyers really believe in. Brave.
Some were glorious. Some were… memorable for other reasons. In the end, five wines actually made it. Let’s play.
Here are the wines:

Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine
Argentina Viognier
Premium Pinot Grigio d Ven DOC
Freeman’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc

The Cairanne is "Wine Of The Week" for £4.99. You would struggle to do better than that for a fiver.
love this channel, and the fact that he's clearly a bit squiffy at the start, and smashed by the end.
Rosorange is nice but don't over chill it, after 20 minutes outside in December weather it's ready to drink
What about a Grapevine Merlot under £5 – have thought it great value! Very popular. When there are very few bottles left on a shelf, it is an indication of a 'good wine.'
For a really good French cab franc have a look at the Chinon Wilfrid Rousse domaine, a Bio/Organic producer. His Clos de la Roche is spectacular.
Dear Tom, that was ace, I laughed so much I nearly inhaled my tea. Bravo. Suscribed.
its hard to tell if hes taking the piss when he says he likes one
Nappy Valley Cab Sav, £13 from Aldi – an absolute banger. At 15% it was definitely a sit down but don’t plan on getting up wine 😂
Cabernet Franc unavailable Dec 25. Cairanne delicious, especially at £4.99!! Only 2 per customer though.😋. Chablis also unavailable @ Dec 18th.
I only go to Aldi to get water for the cats, but I might get some of these.
Updated one for Christmas 2025 please 🎉
3:01, oh, that must be a delicious "moustached" ("bigoteado", usually pronounced "bigotiao"). A blend only for the bravest.
The Chablis PC is £21.99 that’s why it’s so good.
Why the four letter words. Not necessary
A Premier Cru Chablis under £15? No wonder I can never find it on their shelves. If they were there I would snap up a case or two. Oh well, I guess I will have to keep paying my £25 to Waitrose when I’m in the market for a bottle of this golden nectar. 😅
Great show. I appreciate knowing the abvs as unfortunately 13.5 is the max l’m allowed and wine gets stronger every year thanks to climate change I’m told.
Something of Keith Floyd in this guy. Welcome back Keith.
I am from New Zealand Tom well done a lot of wines we don’t get here but also some grape varieties I have not heard of will try and find them
You’re kinda my favorite guy. Keep telling us stuff
The chablis was the only one i could find, now £19.99!!
I don't like rose' but the two pink ones he called out, I've had and love. The orange one especially!
for me, white wines are not wines… it's just spoiled juice.
I am addicted to these videos – I live in Hong Kong, Shanghai and South Africa and love my wine – I once had a billionaire client who asked me at a meeting at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore if I “like” wine and how good would I like it to be ( not something someone ever said before ) —— and spending time in South Africa and thinking Pinotage and Sav B are the dogs bollox I said yes – anyway he decided to treat me to vintage champagne followed by “a lot of faff” decanted red in a carafe – it was a French wine costing 7,000 US a bottle ( immoral) and sadly it was so good my life is now ruined
Wish you could do Aldi wines in Australia….completely different selection over here
Aldi wines..in England..I supone?
It would be more useful to have the vintages for your recommendations – Are you avoiding adding this for some reason? Enjoy the videos.
Just came back from Australia to South Africa last week; spent two months there and could hardly afford anything, but found a very drinkable red in Aldi for $3.49 and the wife a Pinot Grigio for $5. Both from South Australia – and both cheaper and better than anything South Africa has in that price range. Excellent stuff! If anybody wants the brand names, I will post them.
The Chablis Premier Cru is £14.99 I've just been in Aldi
Rudest shop in the country… why don’t you go back to Germany 🇩🇪
Love the wine knowledge. Don´t love the misuse of the word "literally".
I was in S Africa for a month and their Rose, imho, is incredible. Their cheap Rose, blows away the nonsense Tesco sells.
Intermingle Red Blend (California) from Aldi is Delicious. I'm not a big wine guy but having some right now and it's legit for $7.
