ALDI’S WINNING STREAK FOR WINE RANGE CONTINUES!

32 Awards at International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2021

Aldi Ireland is setting the bar for quality wines with even more award wins on the international stage! The latest awards are courtesy of the 2021 International Wine Challenge with 32 awards in total, across red, white, rosé, sparkling and fortified wines! 

The International Wine Challenge is a global competition that pits a wide range of wines from established supermarkets around the world against each other in a series of extensive taste tests, with over 25 years of experience in tasting, comparing and assessing products to judge the best in class wines.

Aldi’s Wine Ambassador, Tom Doorley said: 

“Wine awards come in various forms but the International Wine Challenge is actually what the name implies: a competition in which some of the world’s top wine producers go head-to-head in pursuit of the recognition of excellence. Aldi has been working with many of these winemakers over many years so, while it’s no surprise to us to receive so many medals and such widespread recognition this year, it still feels good. The fact is that smart people buy smart wines at Aldi, people who know that quality and quite amazing value-for-money can go hand in hand, if you know where to look. It’s simple. Look in Aldi.”
