Aldi
Debortoli Sumptuously Rich Pudding Wine – 18% abv

This unique drink is a tempranillo red wine infused with the flavour of real chocolate. Guaranteed to be an indulgent drink this Christmas, this is a naughty, indulgent experience you may not want to share. Enhances the creaminess of Sainsbury’s Victoria Sponge Cake – see image below. £9.99.

Morrisons
Lustau Moscatel ME Jerez Xeres Sherry – 17% abv 37.5cl
