Aldi launches new red wines made to be served ice-cold
Specially Selected Chilean Pinot Noir (£6.99)
Chassaux et Fils Côtes du Rhône 2023 (£5.29
Specially Selected German Pinot Noir 2023 (£7.99)
According to Aldi wine expert Sam Caporn, 'Cooling certain red wine tones down the alcohol, sharpens acidity and enhances freshness, which is exactly what people are looking for in a summery sip.

'The trick is to pick reds that are low in tannins but high in flavour - like Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cinsault or Grenache - so the fruit still shines through when served chilled.
"These softer styles work brilliantly with alfresco food and can be chilled in the fridge or an ice bucket. Just take it out 20 minutes before serving so it's not too cold.'
Sam says of Chill Bill: "This lightly sparkling red is fruity and expressive - just pop it in the fridge. Grab it just in time for August soirees because, like with all Specialbuys, once it's gone, it's gone."

What is the perfect temperature to serve wine at?
That can really vary according to the type of wine. Chilling lighter reds can be beneficial, while medium and full-bodied offerings are often better a little warmer.
Experts usually recommend heavier red wines like Shiraz, Bordeaux and Malbec are served between 15 and 18 degrees. This keeps the tannins and acidity balanced.
Lighter red wines like Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Grenache are better served at around 12 degrees. This keeps the juicier fruit flavours nice and smooth.
