The Wine & Whisky Thread

Just opened a bottle of Colli, very nice it is too

Just going to sip it with some pate´and crusty bread.. :D

Nice one, Bev - as long as you're enjoying it with some type of food, it should hit the spot. Enjoy! :)

Opened one of my bottles . Not b ad...could get a bit sick of it after a case lol.
Very nic e with sweet chilli chicken and noodles

I've decanted my Colli, which I very rarely do... I've twice poured it back and forth and I think it is nice and aerated now... it's a lovely drop of red... but as you say Marco it has to be with some food... it's not an idle sipper.. :cheers:

Its my hospital day in livvy so always end up in the lidl there ..... so will see if i can track down any more of those wines you mentioned ...I enjoyed the one i was drinking yesterday..

found one of these[emoji12]

Cool. Sometimes they have them outside of the main wine area, and in a separate section next to the Italian food they're promoting, so try there.

Failing that, pick up one of the Italian week brochures at the entrance, identify the wine you're looking for in it, and ask a member of staff when that wine (or those wines) are coming in. I usually find the staff very helpful.

The two other main reds you want to try and get are the Fronsac (French) and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - both of those are superb! :)

Lol - just seen your last post! :eyebrows:

ALDI just won an award for their Highland Black 8yr Old @ £12.99. It was blind tested & awarded alongside a £75 bottle!

Doesn't surprise me one bit. The inherent quality of the products that they sell applies across the board, including as I said earlier, champagne. If you're into some quality bubbly, try the one I linked to earlier and, trust me, it will 'refocus' your view of what you're paying for with some well-established brand names! ;)

Lidl and Aldi are taking more and more business away from the 'big boys' every day, and that's simply because more and more folk are sussing out how good their stuff is and where the REAL value lies with their supermarket shopping, and as such Aldi and Lidl's market share is only destined to grow.............

Bring it on, I say, because the 'big boys' (Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys) have been getting it their own way for far too long, and so have been overdue a kick up the arse! It can only be good news, for us, the consumer, as it will both lower prices and drive up standards :)
