Jason Bowyer, ALDI Wine Expert and Buying Director said: ‘The Trophy Room is a first for Aldi Australia, demonstrating that a fine wine and dining experience doesn’t have to dent your wallet. And what’s even better, you can replicate the exact experience at home. 

‘The reality is everyone can have a wine rack and cheese draw worthy of the title the “Trophy Room” if they shop the products on offer at Aldi.’

He went on to describe the value of the range as ‘undisputable’ and is excited to offer customers the unique experience.

Aussies who fancy a seat at the bar will have to be quick as The Trophy Room is open for only two nights.
