Two wines from Aldi this week, both part of their summer range. Coteaux du Beziers is a large wine region that surrounds the city of Beziers, in the Languedoc in the south of France. The warm sunny Mediterranean climate is perfect for ripening grapes. Aldi have a red, white and rosé Coteaux de Beziers on offer this summer. All three are worth trying out.
