*Thanks wine Gods*
January is nearly over, and that means those doing Dry January are this close to treating themselves to a glass of wine (or three).
We can think of no better way to celebrate being able to drink again than by trying out a new tipple, which is why we need to tell you about Aldi’s latest range.
The supermarket chain has announced that it’ll be introducing 12 new wines to celebrate its Wine Festival next month. A mix of reds and whites, they’ve been chosen by Aldi’s wine buying team.
The best thing? They’re all a total barg’, with most priced under £7. Here’s everything you need to know…

South African Pinot Grigio 2017 (£5.99, 75cl)
