Aldi's award-winning summer wine range has officially dropped and it's all under $15

Summer is well and truly on its way, which of course means an uptick in social outings.

But if you're one of the millions of Aussies struggling with the constant increases to interest rates and inflation, and are feeling strapped for cash, a casual outing to the pub might be a stretch too far.

A need to budget, however, doesn't mean you have to miss out – and Aldi today have announced a new wine range with all products under the $15 mark.

Aldi Wine Expert and Buying Director Jason Bowyer says he is excited to see what customers think of this summer's offerings.

"Offering high-quality drops at affordable prices is what Aldi has always been about," said Bowyer. 

"We've continued to monitor the latest trends to find exactly what Aussies want to be drinking this summer. Customer interest in lighter wines continues to grow, both from an alcoholic and caloric perspective."

"There's also a strong desire for vibrant, aromatic, and crisp varieties that echo the summer season," he continues.

"Aldi's summer range is better than ever, and we're excited to see what our customers think of the variety and value on offer this year."

The supermarket giant has also launched their range of summer cheeses.

If you're looking for a charcuterie board on a budget, you'll be able to get your hands on 220g Double Cream Brie for $5.49, 100g Danish Blue Cheese for $3.99, 100g Germain Le Pico Goat's Cheese for $5.99, plus 150g Sartori BellaVitano Merlot for $6.99 and more!
