    I know someone who drinks it (the stuff in the green 1 litre bottles - apparently it's even cheaper than than the 70cl 'bargain basement' variety). She says it's fine, but tastes vary and gin drinkers can be very particular.

    I've tried it and find it perfectly drinkable. (again the one in the green bottle). I'd say it's quite similar to Gordons.

    My personal favourite is Bombay Sapphire but I don't buy it alot and find that the Aldi stuff is perfectly acceptable for a G&T. Only thing I would say is that any more than a couple and I tend to have a headache in the morning, but don't tend to get that with Bombay.

    I got one yesterday, mine was £2.69, they were all roughly the same size, they're wonderful for pulled pork.

    I bought two last week - one I used for roast and one for pulled pork - both were gorgeous! and I couldn't believe the price!

    As well as the larger reductions around Aldi, there are also a lot of 1p reductions at the moment - is this another price war or price match thing?

    Aldi could be trying to undermine Lidl. :D

    I sent a message to Aldi Uk this morning. This was the question.

    'Just a question? Does Aldi sell Halal meat?'

    Ive just got this answer

    'Judi. Thanks for the post. We would like to confirm that all Aldi meat is pre-stunned and Aldi does not label any products as Halal certified. Thanks for your question'

    Am I missing something or have they ducked the question?

    No. Do you know what Halal meat is (technically)?
