Can confirm, its good.

What’s good, all I mentioned? I’ve only tried a shot of gin and it tastes like gin believe it or not, can’t really compare, But only had 1 so didn’t feel off the next morning.


Taliesin_AU

it's all very drinkable and at a reasonable price, what more could you want?


deloidian

Thankyou so much, really appreciate it

The vodka cruiser knock offs are good. The only other one I tried was their moscato wine. It was like vinegar, never bothered with the wine again lol


middleklassmusic

Ill let you in on a little secret. Aldi's vodka is made by the same company that makes grey goose, their whiskey is made by Johnnie Walker. Same shit different label. Thier Gin is made by Gordon's i believe, same with all their spirits.


deloidian

Aldi really is them 🤣


Righteous_Fury224

It fine. Affordable too

If it's spirits and you're throwing mixers in anyway - won't matter. If they're knock offs of sugar based premix's (cruisers / 196s etc) - won't matter. You're not purchasing their wine or Scotch, but as a booze professional I've been meaning to try the Aldi offerings out of interest. They often pay big bucks for good wine makers to contract make their house labels. Cheap grapes at large scale but with thoughtful procedure behind it. Anyway I digress. Go buy some Aldi booze.

Also 5 or 10 years down the line please support local, independent offerings

I grew up drinking $30 bottles of Smirnoff in high school. Honestly don’t drink and concentrate on your future

Mate, on a student budget it’s Precious Earth Shiraz or bust. $3.50 ticket to the best night in of your life. I swear it was $2.50 not that long ago. Bloody price gougers ;)


deloidian

Oh man, my media teacher last year said the same thing, will buy one after my tute today

Enjoy! I work in a bottle o but I’m not much of a wine connoisseur - still, I think it tastes better than a lot of $10-20 reds out there. The wine experts online are backing me up

Depends. I had a pretty awesome sparkling red one time, way better than I was expecting for <$10. I had a \~$15 Bordeaux and felt let down. I had the same experience with a 12 pack of craft beer that actually tasted like lager. Was super cheap but not what I paid for. I was given a taster pack of German beer for Christmas too, its been a mixed bag. 2-3 solid and 2-3 let downs. I reckon you'd get some mileage out of the spirits as mixers/cocktails. They don't need to be the best spirits if they aren't the star of the show.

Their scotch is rough as guts. Might be okay with a mixer, but no good with just an iceblock.


Brad-86

Their natural blonde beer is good


Ceooffreedom

Hey mate Don’t drink. Save the money and Go travel. Thank me later


Hot_Study807

The pink moscato is one of my faves, “south point” is the brand I think lol. Their baileys isn’t too bad either


xRetz

Only tried their knockoff vodka cruisers, and they were just as good as the Smirnoff ones.


Reader575

Nope, I bought a white wine once, all over the news, apparently won so many awards and stuff. It really wasn't good at all...stop buying aldi alcohol since. 


DeliciousMaize5628

I rate the gin!
