This £14.99 Aldi vodka beat bottles double the price to be crowned ‘best in the world’

The budget bottle beat off competition from tipples twice the price

From coveted hanging egg chairs to Le Creuset-inspired cookware and heated dressing gowns (yes, you read that right), budget supermarket Aldi’s Specialbuys are always here to meet our various needs.

And now, its own brand of vodka has been crowned the “best vodka in the world” – proving that luxury doesn’t have to come with a price tag.

Costing just £14.99 for 70cl, Aldi’s bargain saint gérmont premium French vodka fought off stiff competition at the World Vodka Awards from the likes of Masons of Yorkshire (£28, Masterofmalt.com), Assay (£31.95, Masterofmalt.com) and Misty Isle (£34.95, Amazon.co.uk) to nab the gold title.

This isn’t the first time the supermarket has been awarded for its alcohol aisle though. It has previously won “best spirits supermarket” at the People’s Choice Awards and “wine supermarket of the year 2021” at the International Wine & Spirits Competition – so it’s safe to say Aldi knows a thing or two about top tipples.

This latest accolade follows the supermarket’s recent reintroduction of its popular raspberry twist on the award-winning vodka. If you’re wanting to try the bottles for yourself, we’ve got all the details you need.
