Which mulled wine shall I get - Aldi, Lidl or something else?

[Callmecordelia]

I love mulled wine, but have held off buying any so far this year due to boring budget reasons.

It's only a few days until the 1st, when I can (finally) let rip and decorate the house. I will need mulled wine.

But which one? Must be cheap. Not a lot of cash about.

I will be buying several a bottle from Lidl (thanks for reminding me) as I have for the past few years, also I think they do their own version of Baileys which is good too! Never been to Aldi so I can't compare.

How much in Lidl?

£5 in lidl ( well £4.99)- it is the same one they use in the German Xmas markets

How much for, its £2.50 in asda

Is the Asda one nice? For £2.50 I could get several bottles (hic).

1 litre I think...but not 100% as my supply is at home and I'm not :)

I got the lidl one but I haven't tried it yet. My local store sells out quickly, so you need to get your supply when they have it.

TheXmasLog the Lidl 'Baileys' is awesome!

Tesco's one was £3.49 a few weeks ago and was v nice. Nicer than lidl's I thought

I bought the asda one last year and its quite nice. So I've bought the ginger one this year and a few bottles of the alcohol free one from ikea. The alcohol free comes in regular and apple/mulled cider flavour for about £1.50 and I guess you could add your own booze to it.

co-op one is good too!

Why on earth buy ready made mulled wine? It is so easy and much cheaper to make your own. Bottle of cheap wine, quarter of a wine bottle of water, simmer with slices of orange, plus nutmeg and cinnamon, add sugar to taste. For less potency add more water or orange juice, for extra potency add brandy. Far better than the manufactured ones.

We used the Tesco one at our Christmas Fair yesterday and it was lovely...added oranges, spices....£3.49 a bottle.

A couple of cheapie bottles of red - £6. A cheapie carton of orange juice - 50p and you get more than 2 litre. I have cinnamon and star anise in my cupboard, plus cloves and nutmeg are nice. Much better than ready made IMO.

It's just me going to be drinking on my own..... I can't justify blowing such a large bit of my shopping budget on Orange juice, oranges, spices and wine to make my own and there would be far too much. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Aldi also do a litre of mulled cider for cheaper around Three pounds think it is called apelfwein? If it is a hot christmassy alco drink you want then it will do the job!
