    What's your choice for a nice, affordable wine?

  • @apexcapital1328

    For $3 I can’t complain and a lot better than most wine costing 3x it’s price. In fact I’m going to have a glass right now.

      Winking Owl is my 2nd favorite Sauvignon Blanc. My first favorite is Barefoot which is $5 and has a screw-top. I've tried many more expensive labels but barefoot has never let me down! The only thing I don't like about winking Owl is their awful synthetic corks. They're a pain.

      @@doesnotFempute To be complete honest with you, I personally like the Synthetic Cork Winking Owl uses. I have never had one break or separate on me. Regardless if it’s my fault or not.

    If I’m drinking $3 wine I’m probably pairing it with a bag of popcorn, not a fancy cheese tray that costs more than my total monthly grocery budget. Cheers!

    Love this wine. It’s definitely at the top of my list as far as good, but cheap wines go. Bought 2 bottles and spent like 6 bucks including taxes. Can’t beat the price for the quality.

    Actually, Winking Owl Sweet Red is my favorite. It's smooth, sweet, tasty and low ABV! My kind of wine.

    • @lynnjulian6195

      I bought the Sangria to be on the safe side- but I had the sweet red in my hand while trying to make up my mind.

    I am impressed with Aldi's beer and wine. Just recently discovered the Winking Owl brand and it's it's a bang for the buck. The Moscato is really good, and their white 3l box is actually pretty drinkable for a box.
    Their beer and cider are good too, but the hard root beer tastes too medicinal.
    I recommend the Wild Range IPA if you dig beer though; goes great with a big steak!

  • @tresjolieme81

    I once had guests over and had Winking Owl paired up with a $42 bottle of cab and had them tell me which was better. Everyone liked the WO.
    I pair mine with the nice cheese and meat selections also found at Aldi.

    • @cmd_f5
      @cmd_f5 5 лет назад

      Polished off a box last night, it's a solid wine in general, and quite good considering it's in a box. Used to have a lot of bad boxed wine but this is actually good. Cheers

    Winking owl has to be my absolute favorite wine and now that I am going plant based I want to know that some of my favorite things like this wine is vegan or not. eggs and other animal products were still placed in it and I get that it was removed and undetectable.. tbh I might just turn the other cheek when it comes to this wine because it's absolutely delicious!

    Yep. I like it. Just drink it. It's OK I don't need to keep up with the Joneses or impress anyone. Mashed grapes are mashed grapes. $2.95 in Hampton, VA. But hey, that's just me. To me it shows that a $20 vs. $3 is about the same, but I'm cheap, you don't have to tell me.

  • @rong6780

    Most of these Winking Owl wines I have purchased have less ABV (alcohol by volume) than regular wines of the same varietals. Check the labels to see the ABV.

    • @imblackwhite4662

    • @mattnhormann
      @mattnhormann 3 года назад

      The reds are all 13%. That's about average for a red wine.

    • @laylow8648
      @laylow8648 3 года назад

      I just picked up my 1st bottle of Winking Owl Merlot ABV is 12%.
      I must say I tried it after dinner with a good slice of Aldi’s Gouda cheese. It just melts in your mouth. It’s by far the best Gouda I have ever tried. On my next trip to Aldi I will buy the Smoked Gouda. I really enjoyed a glass of Merlot. Actually I went back to pour another few sips. I like feeling the Breeze I got from the Merlot.

    Saw this today for the 1st time and picked up a bottle for $2. If you are wondering what sponge water tastes like this is probably it. Poured the bottle down the drain after a few sips. I almost threw up on my 1st sip. For compression, my go to cheap wine is Mondavi and Ghost Pine.
