Vin D'Alsace Pinot Blanc 2013

Aldi and Lidl have really upped their wine game. There was a time when they only sold the plonkiest of plonk.

Aldi's Exquisite Collection includes a really good Gigondas for €15 and a Gavi for €8.49. This Pinot Blanc at €10 scores 3.5 on the Vivino app. For the price it's excellent value.

It is ideal for summer barbeques or as an aperitif. It's fruity and citrusy but dry. It needs to be served chilled.

Great value for the price.
