Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Whether you plan on preparing a candlelit dinner or nestling into your couch in front of your favourite Netflix show, Aldi has a range of romantic tipples to get you in the mood this Valentine’s Day.
Luckily, Tom Doorley, Aldi’s resident wine expert is sharing his top tips for when you are picking up a bottle of something nice this February 14th
“On Valentine's Day, I think some form of fizz is pretty compulsory and, if you agree, rest assured that Aldi has you covered." Said Tom.
"From fun Prosecco to stylish Champagnes - all at bargain prices that will make you blink. My other essential on this special day is one of Aldi's Dry Aged steaks with the Specially Selected Argentinian Malbec or, better still, the Organic Argentinian Malbec. Your choice of wine is up to you, but at Aldi there's lots to choose from!”
