I don’t drink, but I like ALDI for some products.

Which wine are you thinking of?
 
Red dry are the best. My state produces a lot of wine. A great thing I am proud of, but I honestly can’t spend 20 a bottle when
Aldi has the same for 5.
 
Sounds good Robert, just note the sulphide content of cheap red.

The way to salvage or make cheap red drinkable is to keep adding sulphides to it.
 
hey, to use up the extra characters you need just do
huh i guess you can't see it. but if you do the squiggly line under the escape button I believe it works
 
oh
I just realize doing that on a separate line keys this thing going on somehow. huh.
 
in response to the end of that title you got there. As far as the wine goes, can’t tell you. Can’t drink 😉
 
I can’t speak to Aldi wine, but that title of yours is the great beginning of a haiku.
 
Yes I think their wines are high in sulphites. Sorry for being ignorant but what is bad about this?
 
We like their wines. Winking Owl is their cheapest and is prettty good. As a matter of fact, we served it at our daughter’s wedding.

They function as preservatives. They prevent wine from oxidizing. And kill bacterial growth. Small % of sulphites are ok but…
Winemakers might typically try to save bad batches by adding sulphites above the accepted level, and waiting for the sulphite levels to dissipate before releasing that wine to the market.
Sulphites are used to mask a lot of errors in winemaking, and to mediate for wine produced in poor conditions of hygiene. During winemaking there is a lot of bacteria cruising around.

Sulphites have health risks ie bad for asthmatics.

I love red wine and I enjoy Aldi wine but I’m trying to lose weight. Has anybody had experience with red wine on a low carb diet? The websites say it’s fine but I’d like to read about what it’s like in practice.

I don’t know what Aldi is so not sure why I am replying.

I will say (sort of on topic) that I have revised my rather uninformed opinion of California wines. I recently had an absolutely fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from there and also a superb Syrah from Oregon - could have been Spain. These days I think it just depends on the vineyard, the wine grower, not so much the place - whether you get get good wine or bad. (is Aldi a grocery store? just googled it)

Also this summer I tried blood orange cider for the first time. DON"T miss it. Pear cider. I am really into cider right now. Usually apple, but pear more and more - with bagel sandwiches and chips or Indian curried vegetables & brown rice - good with spicy food but it could go with a lot of different things. If you haven’t had it in awhile (or ever), grab some. A lot of different breweries or whatever they are called are making really good ciders right now. It’s back ‘in.’
 
Aldi is a grocery store chain that originated in Germany. They usually carry knock-offs of the name brand foods that are usually as good as the originals. You bring your own bags/boxes, and you bag your own foods. Hope this helps.
 
Indeed! Still, never been to one.

I bought a $3 bottle of Charles Swan Chardonnay at a Trader Joes for a party this summer - I did not actually drink it, but I have been told that it is actually ok/good wine. (when I bought it I had no idea it was only $3 - I thought it would be like $10, no price that I could find. Wasn’t trying to be that cheap at all.)
 
I did not know Aldi’s sells wine. 😳 I guess I will have to stop running go in a just buying what I need real quick.

Robertmidwest: some people get headaches from the sulphites.
