Aldi is stocking its shelves with bottles of creamy new Petit Coconut Wine, and my tastebuds are prepared to take a tropical holiday. The tangy coconut wine has a 13.9-percent ABV and is made with a blend of white wine, cream, and rich coconut flavouring, making it delicious on its own — or a great base for piña coladas. Available nationwide for $7 per 750-milliliter bottle, the drink is perfect for serving with pineapple rings and colourful paper umbrellas at BBQs [1], picnics, or when you're lounging by the pool in your backyard [2].
According to Tastings.com [3], the drink features "aromas of coconut cream and white chocolate cookie" and tastes like "buttermilk pie, coconut macaroon, [and] vanilla yoghurt." A drink that sweet is basically dessert in a bottle, and I'm not complaining. Take a closer look at the creamy coconut wine ahead, and add a bottle to your shopping list for your next at-home happy hour [4].
