We, a nation of proud goon drinkers, appreciates the contribution of cheap piss to society: if it’ll get ya turnt for less than a tenner, it’s alright in our books.
They, a small percentage of wine snobs who *don’t* appreciate cleanskin and its ilk, can go sit on a corkscrew and rotate after a $5 bottle of rose from Aldi beat out a bunch of pricier alternatives at a Sydney wine show.
Supermarket chain Aldi‘s 2015 South Point rose was among the stars of the Sydney International Wine Competition, out-performing top shelf drops worth ten times as much.
It was also awarded a coveted Blue Gold medal, the equivalent of silver Australia-wide (only 269 / 1812 wines were awarded medals, so that’s a pretty big deal).
Here’s the Top 10 wines under $15, for your guzzling pleasure:
