A load of wine experts have got together and decided that the best red wine in the world comes from Asda. And it will only cost you £4.37 a bottle. Asda’s budget bottle of La Moneda Reserva Malbec from Chile beat its rivals to take the best in show title at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA). After blind taste tests of around 16,000 reds and whites from across the globe, a panel of 240 international wine experts judged Asda’s low-cost Malbec to be the ‘ultimate crowd pleaser’. It was described as tasting of ‘freshly crushed black fruit, creamy vanilla yoghurt and pepper spice,’ and won praise for its ‘succulent juicy berries on the palate.’ The wine first came out top in the Chilean red category, before taking the overall crown for quality and value for money. DWWA chairman Steven Spurrier said of the judging process: ‘Our sole purpose is to recognise and reward quality, this is what consumers all over the world are interested in.

We only award medals to wines in which consumers can have the utmost confidence.’ Asda is now bracing itself for a run on the budget red in stores, after it sold out online. Asda wine buying manager Ed Betts told Metro.co.uk: ‘The La Moneda Reserva Malbec is currently on rollback at £4.37 (it usually retails at £5.75), and as the perfect match to barbecued meats, we’re expecting high demand in the coming weeks!’ We recommend buying in bulk. The judges’ full results will be published shortly on the DWWA here.We beaver away each year to make sure our products are both great value and high quality, and we’re really pleased with the results - but don’t just take our word for it!

Aldi has been doing increasingly well in this competition over the years - as it has in a number of other wine competitions. The supermarket has picked up more than 130 awards for its beers, wines and spirits - including being named Supermarket of the Year at the Drinks Retailing Award back in February. Back in August, Aldi boss Matthew Barnes, admitted one key strategy was attracting middle-class shoppers by stocking high quality alcohol, and then persuading them to come back for a wider variety of items. It's the same shoppers he is targeting with healthier foods such as quinoa and bean salads - as well as spirallised vegetables and cauliflower rice, and 'special buys' that include brands like Dyson.
