I was recently lucky enough to be asked to join the Aldi Wine Club. I say ask. I begged and they accepted.
If you haven't heard of the Aldi Wine Club, it's basically a club for amateur tasters to review some of the wines the supermarket has on their shelves. The deal is, they send me wine every month and I have to write a review on Twitter.
Which means writing a review on a bottle of wine in 140 characters. And, using the #AldiWineClub hashtag.
So, I was delighted when my first batch of wines turned up this week. A bottle of Prosecco and a Chardonnay.
At first, I was quite excited because I'd received two wines I wouldn't generally buy.
I like white wine, but I'd usually buy a Sauvignon Blanc rather than a Chardonnay. So the Chardonnay Pays D'oc wouldn't be something I would generally buy. And, I love Prosecco, but it's the sort of thing I would choose for a special occasion and would probably splash out. So the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Spumante DOCG retailing at £7.49 wouldn't be something that would end up in my basket.
But I love to try new wines, and I was super excited to receive something different to the usual. Plus, I could tell friends and family I was a wine taster for Aldi. Recognise.
However, my initial excitement quickly turned to panic. How do I review a bottle of wine in 140 characters? 140 characters is nothing! And, I'm opening the first bottle this weekend, so any advice would be gratefully received!
