Aldi has introduced purchase restrictions on its Nicolas de Montbart champagne brut following a surge in demand ahead of Valentine's Day. Shoppers are now limited to buying just four bottles of the budget-friendly fizz, which has seen its price slashed from £13.99 to £9.99. This price cut is set to expire on February 14, prompting customers to act quickly to secure their stock.
High Demand Drives Purchase Limits
The supermarket reported a significant increase in sales for this champagne, leading to the implementation of purchase limits to prevent stockpiling. While many consumers might still be recovering from holiday festivities, the allure of affordable champagne for Valentine's Day has driven unprecedented interest.
Champagne Details and Expert Reviews
The Nicolas de Montbart champagne brut is crafted from a blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier grapes. Aldi describes it as an easy-drinking, aperitif-style sparkling wine with bright fruit and delicate floral notes. This champagne has previously received praise from expert testers, including drinks specialist Emma Henderson, who highlighted Aldi's Veuve Monsigny brut champagne as a top budget buy in her reviews.
Emma Henderson noted, "Coming in at a snip under £16 for a champagne is nothing short of impressive, and it's even more so when it both looks and tastes this good. It's elegant with notes of freshly cut apples and fleshy peach. On the palate, there's plenty of baked apple crumble notes along with nutty hints and buttery brioche."
Availability and Shopping Tips
As Aldi does not permit online purchases for this item, customers must visit their nearest store to take advantage of the deal. The champagne is available only until February 14, making it a timely option for Valentine's Day celebrations and beyond, including Easter preparations.
This promotion mirrors Aldi's previous strategy of offering champagne at under £10 during the Christmas season, demonstrating the supermarket's commitment to providing value-driven options for festive occasions.
