Aldi’s Huge Wine Sale Kicks Off Nationwide Today

Alana Laverty

The only thing we love more than wine is discounted wine.

When it comes to wine, our attitude is sometimes along the lines of ‘the cheaper the better’, depending on how far away pay day is.

Gotta be thrifty, yano? No judgement.

Thankfully for us bargain-hunters, Aldi is having an enormous wine sale because they just know the kind of week we are having.
