Next time you’re sipping on a citrusy gin after a quick trip to Aldi, you should know you’re drinking some award-winning stuff.
The supermarket has triumphed once again, taking home three accolades at this year’s Spirits Business Gin Masters.
It even managed to get the coveted ‘masters’ title, the highest award available for its Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin.
And it’s only £14.99. The alcoholic beverage beat off competition from bottles costing up to two times the price.
Who said fancy stuff has to be expensive?
Clearly, the nation’s love of flavoured gins has yet to slow down, with 66 million bottles sold in 2018 alone.
So it’s no wonder that the Aldi brand scored the nod of approval from the judges – receiving distinction level awards received for its spirits range.
And it’s been a good year for the company as its spirits range has scooped 24 medals in 2019.
Shoppers will also be glad to hear that the supermarket’s bestselling tipples; Harrison’s Gin (£15.99) and Passionfruit Gin Liqueur (£9.99) also took home gold and silver medals respectively.
The move continues their winning streak, having already scooped both a silver and bronze medal at this year’s International Spirits Challenge.
‘It’s an incredible achievement to be recognised for our gin range at such a prestigious competition,’ said Julie Ashfield, from Aldi UK.
‘We’ve seen the trend for flavoured gins become increasingly popular over the last few years and we’re thrilled to see that the quality of our products makes them stand out from the crowd with both our loyal customers and gin connoisseurs alike.’
