Hi can someone recommend a nice bottle of red wine please that u can buy in either duness or Aldi?

Third it and also the FireTree Nero d’Avola

Buddy97mm

Their Cotes du Rhones Villages is exceptional value at 6.99. Overall, any of their 7 euro + wines are decent and represent good quality for price point

Excellent price for powers.
Anyone tried the new Irish whiskey in Aldi?
Is it nicer than Clontaraf?

L1011

Its made by West Cork Distillers so I'd approach with caution... their own produced liquers (before the stock was old enough to be sold as whiskey) were disgustingly awful.

The full price West Cork whiskey gets consistently bad reviews on here, I wouldn't touch it.

When they get this in it always sells out quickly. €9.99 - lovely red.

Grande Alberone Zinfandel

I would stick to the Clontarf, I picked up a bottle of the Ardfallen and after trying a glass im reluctant to go back for a second. I hoping it will be ok for a hot whiskey as its the only way I can see myself getting through it.

Any of the Riojas tend to be reliable. One thing though- the idea of a 'nice' bottle of wine is subjective. Different wines have different attributes- some have high tannins and very oaky tastes (for example) whereas others might be fruitier and/or quite high in sulphites. If you can narrow it down a bit better- detailing what you actually like in a wine- we might be able to give you better suggestions.

I used it for steeping 18 month old Christmas puddings in- bad mistake, think I'll have to toss them.

West Cork 10 is a Cooley product (I think, it tastes like one) and isn't as bad as their own liquers were; but isn't worth its price tag either.

You buying it for cooking and the odd Irish coffee or to drink neat?

If it’s the former work away with powers but if it’s the latter I’d be saving an extra tenner at least and get a bottle of something a lot less harsh in an O’Briens sale.

They've gone very sneaky of late. They don't even tell the managers when the offers finish. Head office just tells them to stop

Pay the extra euro for the Reserve or Gloria as it is labelled.Its worth it.

Hi thanks for replying, I don’t drink wine myself so don’t know what’s good. I was buying for friends. I went with the Toro ones from Aldi, thanks anyway.

Any idea when Dunnes will have the next 25% off wine offer?
