It’s not just at-home cinemas and spas that celebs are lusting over anymore; with reports revealing Wine Rooney has splashed out on an extravagant new wine cellar and walk in bar costing over £150k[1]. As well as a recent sneak peak of Kylie Jenner’s own wine collection[2], it’s possible that the next big Instagram brag may just involve a wine glass or two!
Wine cellars conjure up images of fine wines, some slowly aging to perfection, with a fairly hefty price tag to match. For those who aren’t exactly balling on a budget like Rooney and Jenner, Aldi has ensured that shoppers don’t have to miss out and can easily get the look without having to splash out.
Whether you’re looking to buy wines to save for a special occasion or are just keen to make your favourite bottles last that bit longer, Aldi’s resident wine expert, Sam Caporn MW, explains what to look out for while browsing the wine aisle:
“The general rule of thumb is that anything that has some good tannin structure and a decent level of acidity can age well within the bottle as over time the tannins will soften, and the fruit becomes more mellow. Anything around the £10-20 should easily be able to age for a year. I’d recommend sticking to red, whites and sparkling wines like Champagne – don’t we all love a vintage fizz for a special occasion!”
Those looking to score a deal can opt to fill up their racks with some of Aldi’s much-loved ICON range – this premium selection has many keepers in the range, showcasing classic wines for outstanding value.
Sam continues:
“Aldi’s ICON range is a good place to start as these are classic styles without the premium price tag. Their aromas may change slightly over a year which makes them even more of a treat when the time comes to pop the cork! The Châteauneuf-du-Pape is wonderfully affordable and is sure to please both the palate and the purse strings. If you’d like to add a couple of white wines to your collection, opt for the Pouilly-Fuissé with its touch of smokiness, it’s bound to get better with age!”
