Non-branded (or cheaper) alcohol.

Aldi's version of Pimms is called Austin's and is really excellent. Their Taurus Pear Cider isn't that great, but the Somerset (Orchard summat-or-other) Pear Cider is lovely (99p/bottle).

The Champagne in Aldi at the moment is £12.99 and yummy. I've stored away 2 bottles for Christmas :rotfl::T

I haven't tried any of the others apart from wine, as I don't tend to drink spirits very often. Now, if only Aldi could do a version of Dooleys I'd be the happiest customer ever

I'm sure I spotted one in lidl... they had a few types but one looked very much like Dooleys - above the freezers not with the other spirits. Will try to remember to check. I once made up my own banoffee shot when I was a barmaid... Dooleys and Banana Liqueur mmmmmmmmmm

I can vouch for Aldi's Gin, their Baileys and their Pimms too - all very yummy. Hic!

Anyone know how much the Aldi amaretto is? I want some for cooking but if it's nice enough I could be tempted to actually drink some of it

I really like Southern comfort but have never been able to find a cheap alternative. I'd really apreciate it if some one knew of one We have Tesco, Sainsburys & Lidl local to us.

Great thread op

Aldi's small batch gin is pretty good (can't remember what it is called, but it is in 50cl bottles).

Aldis Amarretto is £4.99 - and I can vouch for it being eminently drinkable! It has won an award, Silver, I think at the IWSC competition.

Aldi "Baileys" gets my vote as does their "Pimms" I know it's not Christmassy but worth remembering it's about £5 not £18-£20 a bottle and once you get all the extras in who knows?
