Aldi is on the hunt for wine lovers to trial, test and review its brand new range - for free. The supermarket needs 30 wine enthusiasts who will receive three bottles from its award-winning range.
The chosen wine lovers will simply be asked to share their honest reviews of the wines across their Instagram or Twitter pages, using the dedicated #AldiWineClub hashtag within six weeks. Aldi will also supply the handpicked Wine Club members with tips on how to taste wine, such as:
* Keep the wine you plan to taste somewhere that has a fairly constant, cool temperature (big temperature fluctuations are bad for wine so above the oven for example is a big no-no).
* It may seem pretentious to smell wine, but it’s a really important step of the wine tasting process as aroma and taste equal flavour. Smelling wine releases the aromas and helps you to identify different flavours that your tongue might not pick up.
Gently swirl the glass just before to make it easier to pick up on your favourite wine flavours that your taste buds alone won't be able to pick up, and
* Don't serve your whites or pinks too cold as that makes them harder to smell. As the wine warms up in the glass you will find the wine changes slightly and the aromas become more distinct.
