Aldi has brought back its own-brand Aperini Superiore aperitif for the summer.

The aperitif was awarded gold at the World Liqueur Awards, and at  £6.99 for 70cl is 60% cheaper than Aperol.

The supermarket is also celebrating English Wine Week with the launch of its Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat, a premium sparkling wine crafted from English grapes.

Available in stores from today, at £12.99 a bottle, this exclusive boutique-style wine offers shoppers a unique opportunity to enjoy premium English winemaking.

Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat is made in collaboration with London Cru, London’s first urban winery. Known for supplying wines to some of London’s most prestigious hotels and restaurants such as Raffles and The Dorchester Collection, London Cru brings its expertise to Aldi shelves.

Crafted from a blend of Reichensteiner, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Bacchus, this sparkling wine delivers bright apple notes, zesty citrus flavours and fine bubbles.

The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, meaning it’s undergone minimal processing.
