Anyone that lives near an Aldi knows the supermarket chain offers some of the best values on groceries. You didn’t really need any more of a reason to shop there, but you got one anyway because a gin from Aldi won a gold medal from the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC). The £9.97 (about $13) a bottle Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin took home a top honor and beat out a bottle that costs four time as much. But before you start getting your hopes up and planning a trip to the store so you can stock up for all those gin drinks you want to make, Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin is only available in the UK at the moment. You might not be able to pick up a cheap bottle of award-winning gin there if you’re in the States, but the store does still have quite a few affordable bottles of wine that drink well outside their cost.
