Article in today's Times, that states "NatureScot" - Scotland's environment protection agency (Cop26 environment conference may influence this?) has requested "urgent" discussions with Diageo about the use of peat.
I was surprised to find that some distilleries already use artificial peat flavourings (charred wood), so get the real stuff while you can :)

A lovely Burgundy (Pinot Noir): https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...ot-noir/p44203
Can't find this one on the Lidl site, but it's a superb Chablis for a silly-cheap price of £8.99 https://www.vivino.com/GB/en/lidl-ch...9a69/w/6472805
A stonking, top-notch Côtes du Rhône Vinsobres (the latter indicates higher than usual quality): https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...nsobres/p44209
You could easily pay £15 a bottle for that in a 'fancy' wine shop!
Very nice quality white Côtes du Rhône: https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...jaillet/p44218
A beautiful full-bodied, fruity white from the Savoie region of France: https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...e-blanc/p44214
A very glugable regional French red table wine, smooth and fruity, for under a fiver(!): https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...-rouge/p44201: https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...n-rouge/p44201
And lastly, I really don't know how they do this (and admittedly I haven't tried it yet, review to follow), a Haut-Médoc, for wait for it... £6.99!!!:mental::mental: https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/the-french-...laurent/p44211
Not just a standard Médoc, but a HAUT- Médoc! If it's any good, you'd normally expect to pay around £20 a bottle for such, or much more. Plus it's also won a gold medal in an international wine challenge in 2020! Seems too good to be true, so I'll feedback on it later!:cheers:
Of course, none of them will be available in Scottish branches lol, eh Robin?:D;)
Marco.
probably wont be in many.. bathgate aldi one used to get a lot of wine and whitburn lidl... i dont drink it now being w total:D
Lol - would be interesting to see how many you (or anyone else up there) could find!
We've just had a spanking new Lidl open in Wrexham, 2 mins by car from our front door: https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/19...ew-lidl-store/
It's fabulous - big, airy and spacious (especially the aisles), extremely well-stocked with all sorts of goodies, and with a great bakery!:cool:
Not a bad wee place, Wrexham, eh mate?:)
