Published on Aldi has won the prestigious ‘Multiple Wine Retailer of the Year’ award at the Drinks Industry Awards 2021 as part of a virtual ceremony on 2 February. The supermarket beat both Waitrose and Morrisons to the top spot. Judges praised Aldi for its impressive sales, which “have gone from strength to strength, shooting up by more than +30% in 2020 – the biggest uplift in sales out of all of the supermarkets.” The wide range of Aldi’s wines were also noted, including its Lebanese wine, Ice Cava and Super Tuscan, which has been compared to Meghan Markle’s favourite wine – but costing £90 less. Judges also commended Aldi’s premium range of wines and in particular its online only Classic Icons wine range, which has been enhanced over the past year.
