The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
I know that most people don’t care about wine as much as I do - and that’s probably a good thing. When I drink wine I want to experience something special and I don’t buy wine at Lidl but many people do. Lidl operates over 11,550 stores in more than 30 countries and employs more than 376,000 people. The “secret” to their success is that they sell decent products at very low prices which is great for consumers, that aren’t too picky and or have a limited shopping budget.
Wine suppliers however that sell to the discounters are generally under a lot of pressure, having to fulfill very high requirements to be listed in the chains. They still do it as once you are listed at Lidl you get immediate access to a very wide distribution network and you start selling tens of thousands of bottles very quickly. The amount of wine that is needed to stock all shops in one market also means that Lidl cannot work with small to medium-sized wineries and instead mainly works with huge bottlers and wineries that can supply at least a hundred thousand bottles of the same wine.
The quality at Lidl has been improving over the decades but I haven’t had wines from Lidl that I wanted to drink over dinner… But maybe that changes today. My team has bought 8 wines and spent 50 € on those wines.
You dont have to do this to yourself. We want the energetic and passionate Konstantin back :) Almost like we saw the light flicker out in your eyes in this one.
The excitement in your eyes while tasting, speaks for itself.
Next time you do a cheap wine tasting, add in one really high-end bottle so you have a surprise to look forward to. Plus it would be interesting to see whether the high-end wine tastes even better than it normally would next to the supermarket wine.
This is by far the saddest video on this channel, poor Konstantin. He did it for us, guys
I would LOVE to see a video where you discuss the price of wines and the price they are sold in restaurants and the process of wine service that enhances the drinking experience and explaining the reasons behind paying a premium for wines in a restaurant. I know this isn’t exactly your usual style of video but I would love to hear your discussion on the topic and maybe a breakdown of some famous restaurants wine lists!! Thank you! ❤
Chianti Riserva TROCKEN 😅 definitely made for the italian market 😂
Thanks for the video!
I've never had wine from Lidl, but I did enjoy this episode. Being honest about lower quality wines helps to appreciate good wines even more. 😀
As the „Weinmensch“ at an Edeka-group, this was one of the most entertaining videos of you so far. I laughed out loud quite some times! 😂
My condolences Konstantin. Sorry to see you go through this tasting. But good consumer information.
Hide the pain with sarcasm😂Loved it! Still waiting for a supermarket wine to excite you! Keep searching!
Kannst du mal ein Video machen über die besten Rotweine, die du getestet hast und die bis 20 Euro kosten?
There's nothing in this video about Lidl-like wines that was not known before, but it was so entertaining to watch Konstantin's bravery in figuring them all out. 😀
Konstantin, I have been watching your videos for the past few days and having a great time. I'm from Madeira, so I grew up close to wine traditions, whether it was harvesting, making wine, or tasting. That being said, further learning from you has been a fun and appreciated experience. Keep going strong :)
Let's face it, for a mass-produced wine "non-offensive" is a very important hurdle to clear. Everything beyond that is icing on the cake.
You really blew my mind with the toasted oak chips! That’s why I love all your videos, I can learn so much stuff from them
great episode. Helps for those parties you plan by guest size and stye.
Lidl is so hot and miss here in the UK. Sometimes it’s great, I there times it’s overpriced crap; it just depends what they’re stocking at the time.
As Argentinian I'm happy to see a Kaiken wine there (solid winery overall), but they should have picked something from Chile too they make some pretty good Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc for very affordable prices. Cheers!
The Lidl selection of wine is quite different here in France. AFAIK none of those wines is available here. We have, of course, mainly French wines. At their recent Foire aux Vins, I did manage to pick up some Morgon and Chiroubles at <€8, which are very nice quaffing wines albeit not of the stature of Lapierre, Brun, Foillard......Also nice CDR Villages from Vaison La Romaine and a Quincy at very friendly prices. My experience of Lidl is that the stuff I like sells out very quickly and rarely gets replaced.
