Aldi is restocking its shelves with bottles of creamy Petit Coconut Wine, and my taste buds are prepared to take a tropical vacation. The tangy coconut wine has 13.9 percent ABV and is made with a blend of white wine, cream, and rich coconut flavoring, making it delicious on its own — or a great base for piña coladas [1]. Available nationwide for $7 per 750-milliliter bottle, the drink is perfect for serving with pineapple rings and colorful paper umbrellas at BBQs [2], on picnics [3], or when you're lounging by the pool in your backyard [4].
According to Tastings.com [5], the drink features "aromas of coconut cream and white chocolate cookie" and tastes like "buttermilk pie, coconut macaroon, [and] vanilla yogurt." A drink that sweet is basically dessert in a bottle, and I'm not complaining. Take a closer look at the creamy coconut wine ahead, and add a bottle to your shopping list for your next at-home happy hour [6] as soon as it's available again on April 9.
