Aldi getting into Christmas spirits

Local Aldi has magically found some more El Dorado 15yr after they seemed to run out over Christmas.

Couldn't resist, bought another bottle :)
 
Bought a nice Medoc in LIDL over the weekend for £6/£7. Very ( too ) easy to drink. They seem to have got some very nice bottles in there now. Some going for £20. They had a chataueneuf de pape for £12 which is a decent price.
 
Christmas deals are back. Just picked up a bottle of Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos in Aldi last night for £18.99 :) (only took me a year). I wanted to go for the 2001 port they had on offer too; might go back tonight. I didn't get a chance to get a proper look at the champagne, but think there were some excellent deals to be had.
 
Wow, do you know when these started? I was in Lidl the other day and picked up a couple wines but there wasn't much really.

EDIT - Just looking online and can't see anything about any Christmas deals yet. Just says "coming soon"

EDIT2 - Ignore me again I've found it. Here's a link

No 15yr El Dorado rum this year which is disappointing but I think i'll try and pick up the Armangac and the Glen Marnoch 24yr Whisky. The bottle alone is worth it!

Wandered up to Manchester Aldi at dinner. The Italian Sparking Wine looks really interesting and i'll be picking some of that up.

Didn't seem to be much champagne bar the standard £9.99 Monsigny though which was disappointing.
 
It's on a different shelf. All of the Christmas drinks are on a shelving unit at the end of the specials tables either end of aisle 2 or 3. It's back to back with the Christmas chocolate selections.
 
Yeah I saw that, along with some festive beer and some fancy looking Amarone. But I didn't see any champagne.

Maybe it was just a bad time!

EDIT: Just looked at the website and there are indeed some other champages. A Magnum for £29.99 and a 2006 Vintage for £22.99

The El Dorado 15 has been in stock a couple of times over the last few months at around £25 which is staggering value.

I bought three bottles. One down, two to go!
 
picked up 2 magnums of prosecco over weekend for £12 each, had their normal bottles before and its pretty good, that's Christmas aperitifs sorted with abit of cassis.

we really tempted by a bottle of Ice Wine they have as well..

:( My local no longer has this.

I went the other day and picked up the Vintage champagne they've got for £22.99. Also got a bottle of the Franciacorta which excited me when I saw it but I ended up being slightly disappointed.

Got the 24yr Glen Marnoch to. It's different to the 24yr one they did last year so will be interesting to compare.

Do Aldi still have that award winning gin in stock?

Going away for a long weekend with friends up to the lakes and could do with a couple bottles!
 
Disappointed they've not restocked the El Dorado 15yr this year. I asked the store manager and he said they sold out up here ages ago, any store with some left must have had it in a back room.

I tried that 30yr port and it's lovely, will be saving the rest for Xmas!

Also on the upside they're brought back the Minarete Ribera del Duero, which is a massively quaffable wine for £5.99 and the Verdejo they have is decent too.
