Aldi is looking for wine tasters to drink free bottles
Aldi. Free. Wine. You know there’s gotta be a catch, right?
Well, if you’re a resident of the U.K., then … there’s no catch.
The German supermarket is looking for 30 people to become part of its Aldi Wine Club.
“Know a thing or two about your grapes?,” the store’s U.K. site asks. “Fancy yourself as a wine expert? Well now you have the chance to have your say as we are after budding wine connoisseurs to join our new panel.”
Every three months, Aldi will send the Wine Club’s 30 members — yep, they’re just looking for 30 — three free bottles to try over a six-week period. All the member must do is taste and review them in a tweet with the #AldiWineClub hashtag.
Club members won’t be paid for their efforts, but the free bottles of wine should be payment enough.
This isn’t the first time the company has done this. In fact, this latest panel will be Aldi’s 22nd group.
To register, you must send your name, twitter account, proof of age and an explanation — in 150 or less — why you think you should be an Aldi wine taster.
The deadline to register is June 3. Here’s the complete details.
