Right, it's coat season. So sod the summer bod. The autumn and winter seasons are perhaps my favourite time of year for several reasons.
The dark nights, the miserable weather and the food, to name a few. Just picture the scene. You've gone on a long hike through the mountains and hills in the pouring rain (cosplaying as a vampire from Twilight) and arrive at a pub with a roasting fire and a consoling menu.
What could lift this hungry goth's spirits even further? Wine. For me, this is the perfect scenario, but I'm aware it's not always feasible. We're not all blessed to have marauding mountains on our doorstep, nor are we all lucky enough to have charming independent inns with roaring fires around the corner.
Got the wine advent calendar at Aldi today is not mom guilt day pic.twitter.com/s6pg3ILOSw — Mo-inthedeepend (@Mointhedeep84) November 6, 2024 No, for most of us, we have a local park with overflowing bins and a Wetherspoons.
Not my idea of fun. So how do you recreate that cosy autumn feeling at home? Aldi appears to have the answer. "Forget the winter chills! Aldi’s new wine collection is bursting with rich reds perfect for cosy nights by the fire, crisp whites to elevate hearty meals, and festive fizz guaranteed to add sparkle to any occasion," They said.
"This year, discover hidden gems from renowned wine regions and uncover new favourites, with over 85% of the collection priced under £10 a bottle." Personally, I'm a red wine kind of man. For years now I've alway.
