LIDL WIne - What recommendations ??

dvines

HI everyone,

Been buying wine in Lidl recently and the few bottles I've tried have been surprisingly good, with one or two exceptions.

What have people found to be good ???

I have found their red wine box to be not bad. What about their two whites has anyone tried them ??? (Aussie and a spanish)

Are there any rewview websites with them reviewed so I Cna check the quality without buying a wrong-un ..?

My recommendations

Cimarosa Label :-

Aus Shiraz
Chilean Cab Sauv.
(Spanish ?)Pedro Ximenez
South African Pintoage

Wine Box:-
SOuth african Cab Suav & Pinotage @ £13.99 for 3L.

Off topic, but similar, Aldi do a Cote du Rhone for £3.57. It's really nice. The only wine we buy these days!

The cimarosa cab sav is the one we stick with but last week I noticed it's gone up to 3.99 a bottle. I've had one of their whites, think it was a Pinot, which was ok. The Aldi 2.99 merlot is surprisingly good! Also the Aldi Toscana Rosso (decanter silver medal winner).

Happy drinking!:beer:

Try the following as well:

2004 Grand Reserva Baturrica Tarragona - Lidl - not sure what the current price is but was around £4.99.

Toro Loco Tempranillo - Aldi - £3.49

Budavar Pinot Grigio - Aldi - £3.79. Pinot Grigio is very popular though not to everyone’s liking.

Bushland Australian Reserve Shiraz - Aldi - £3.99

Cambala Chenin Blanc - Aldi - not sure if they still sell this though was about £3.49

&

Freeman’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc - Aldi - £5.49

Not sure if this will help as well:

Rose made with either Zinfandel or Grenache veriaties can be a bit sweet for some, if they're not for you then try the following:

Toro Loco Rose - Aldi - £3.49 (used to be called Vina Decana Rosada (Why can't you post stress marks/acute accents on MSE!!))

Apparently rose from France and Spain are a good bet with regards to backbone and dryness, though it also depends on your preference.

Thanks Lugh_Chronain - I like a sweetish wine so tracked down the Lidl Zinfandel rose - delicious! And it's on offer for £3.99. Cheers!
