I visited an Aldi supermarket for the first time yesterday and noticed they buy wine and stick their own label on it. Margaret River 2002 CS for $16.99, Mornington Penninsula 2000 Pinot Noir $16.99 etc, has anyone tried it and is it any good and what is the QPR?

Anyone tasted Aldi supermarket wines?

Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. Sermons and soda water the day after.
Seems like an expensive glorified cleanskin to me. I know McGuigan was selling them fruit for some of their 'house wines' and wouldn't be surprised if the fruit came from a major company who had excess grapes.
The Pinot might be ok, whowever it is already 5 years old and might be starting to get tired. The Cab I would think would be quite green and herbal (unless it was a super-ripe wine which I doubt from 2002).
At those prices, your better off going with a producer you know like stoniers, t'gallant, etc.
