Lidl’s UK customers are treated to frequent changes to the wine range. Until recently new wines were added to the shelves every two months, but the wines were selling out so quickly that the range is now refreshed every month – always with a different theme, ensuring new and interesting wines are always available in store.
But it also means that you need to be quick if you like the look of a particular wine featured below, as they don’t hang around for long! Stock is always limited and only available in store.
Lidl’s summer wine tour
The end of June saw the launch of the ‘Summer wine tour’ which gives shoppers the chance to stock their fridges with crisp, fresh whites, light and refreshing reds, and sturdier reds perfect for the barbecue season (as well enjoying while watching the Euros, Wimbledon, the Olympics and the British F1 GP, all taking place in July).

Between this ‘summer wine tour’ and the core range, Lidl offers a comprehensive selection of Old and New World wines across a range of styles.
While there are a few chinks in its armour, there are still plenty of great value picks this summer.
Of the whites, the Roero Arneis 2022 is worth visiting your local store for. This fresh and fruity £8.99 bottle from Piedmont in Italy is sure to sell out fast thanks to its intense and complex character which is perfect for salads or chicken dishes.
Jõao Pires Branco 2023 from Portugal is summer in a bottle – the Muscat of Alexandria grape gives fragrant stone fruit flavours, while the coastal location imbues a breezy, fresh character. Great with grilled prawns!
On the red side, the Agramont Graciano 2021 from Navarra in Spain (£7.99) is a top pick. Silky, vibrant raspberry and strawberry fruits make this a pleasurable drop that will pair brilliantly with grilled or barbecued lamb.
