The Sainte Victoire is Aldi’s version of Provence rosé, a wine made famous by Whispering Angel. It is made from the same grape varieties as Whispering Angel but is about half the price. Could you fool your friends into thinking they were drinking Whispering Angel? Possibly, although it is not quite as good. It arrives in Ireland tomorrow.
Le Petit Poulet Rosé is made by one of the leading producers in the Rhône valley. It is made from similar grapes to the Saint Victoire; it has a little more fruit, but is still bone dry.

This is very good value for money, with plenty of ripe raspberry and redcurrant fruits. Try it with spicy Asian foods or barbecued chicken or salmon.
