Aldi is selling wine fridges which hold EIGHT bottles of wine and that's the kind of stockpiling we can get into

CALLING all wine drinkers! You can now buy your very own wine cooling fridge from Aldi to impress your friends at parties. 

The budget chain is selling a free-standing 23L wine cooler which is able to hold and chill eight bottles. 

The cooler is perfect for storing wine at the optimum temperature, and you can set it to be anything from eight to 18C. 

The fridge is available to be in stores from today, and costs £59.99. 

The Aldi website says: “Ensure your wine is always at the temperature it should be, whether for those unexpected guests, or ready and waiting for you after a long day!

“With 3 stunning chrome shelves, there's enough room for up to 8 bottles of wine so you can be sure the party will never run dry again!”

Typically white or rose wine is recommended to be stored around 12 to 13C, so the swanky cooler could be perfect for housing your collection. 

You’ll have to be quick to get your hands on the product, as it’s sure to fly off shelves. 

Alternatively, you can always chill your rose the cheaper way in just three minutes; in an ice bath with plenty of salt.

WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD YOUR WINE BE STORED AT?

If you really want to impress your mates, chill your wine to the correct temperature.

• White or rose to 13 degrees Celsius (depending on the brand)

• Red to 18 degrees

Wine master sommelier Brian McClintic told My Domaine advised: "The full bottle should be submerged. It's hard to say how much salt, let's just say a liberal amount.

"What happens is the bottle is encased in ice and therefore comes down in temperature much more quickly."

So what's the science behind it?

Basically, salt reduces the freezing point of water, meaning the liquid becomes ice cold without solidifying.

Some of us resort to sticking a bottle of vino in the freezer – but this trick is even more effective because liquids are better at transferring heat than gases like air.

And Brits know very little about wine despite drinking 22m bottles a week as a nation, study finds.
