Aldi is launching a WINE advent calendar… and it works out at £2 a (mini) bottle
ALDI has just given you an excuse to drink wine every day.
The budget supermarket is set to launch a wine advent calendar for £49.99 – which works out at £2 per mini bottle.
The boozy Christmas countdown, which hits stores on November 1, contains 24 bottles of red, white, rose and fizz, with everything from Merlot to Chablis.
Aldi says the advent was created in collaboration with brands such as JP Chenet and Calvet, and totals the equivalent of six full bottles.
All of the wines are from France, except the sparkling which hail from Italy and Spain.
While we are unable to find these brands on their website – and you can obviously pick up a full-sized bottle of wine at Aldi for cheaper than £8 – the calendar has excited shoppers.
“I’m sorry but Aldi have produced the biggest game changer of 2017… a wine advent calendar,” wrote one customer on Twitter.
While another added: “1 November is saved as the day for Aldi’s release of a bargain alcoholic advent calendar.”
The Sun Online has contacted Aldi for a price breakdown on each of the wines included in the calendar.
But this isn't the first festive countdown exciting Christmas lovers.
On Wednesday, we revealed ASOS has launched a beauty advent calendar for £55.
Mini products by brands such as Eyeko, Smashbox, The Ordinary and This Works are tucked behind the 24 doors.
Earlier this year we reported how changes to the Asos rewards scheme means points expire if customers don’t shop for six months.
In June, we told how the online retailer was praised for using "beautiful" untouched photos of models baring stretch marks.
Safe Drinking Guidelines: The Facts
The Chief Medical Officers (CMO) guideline for both men and women states that:
- To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level it is safest not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
- 14 units is the equivalent of six glasses of 13 per cent wine
- If you regularly drink as much as 14 units per week, it's best to spread your drinking evenly over three or more days
- If you have one or two heavy drinking episodes a week, you increase your risk of death from long-term illness and injuries
- The risk of developing a range of health problems (including cancers of the mouth, throat and breast) increases the more you drink on a regular basis
- If you wish to cut down the amount you drink, a good way to help achieve this is to have several drink-free days a week
