Aldi is cutting the prices on some of its best wines to under £5
Aldi's Combe d’Argent Bordeaux is being reduced from £7.99 to £4.99 on December 18. Crafted from a classic Merlot and Cabernet blend, the Combe d’Argent Bordeaux is a well-rounded Christmassy red, boasting a deep, intense crimson hue and offering aromas of fresh redcurrants and berries. Anyway, as I’m always banging on about different things I had fish for tea last night with this super little wine from Aldi. Outside of the weekly offers, Aldi is also dropping the price of more than 65 bottles in its Specially Selected wine range by 25%. By lowering our Bordeaux to just £4.99, we're ensuring customers can experience this exceptional red wine at an unbelievable value".

Warning over 'superflu' medicine rip-off that means you'll pay almost FOUR times the price
SICK Brits have been issued a warning over a ‘superflu’ medicine rip-off that means you’ll pay double the price. For example, a 16-packet of Nurofen at Boots costs £2 but Boots Ibuprofen Tablets 200mg 16 Tablets cost 55p – £1.45 more expensive. Whereas Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension costs £2.65 at Boots, but Calpol Infant Sugar Free Colour Oral Suspension costs £3.50 – 85p more. Who can get free flu jabs? This means they must contain the same active ingredients and have to work in exactly the same way.

World Cup 2026: Dates, schedule and ticket prices explained
How can I watch the World Cup on television? Since the 1998 World Cup, England’s win percentage at major tournaments is considerably better on BBC, leading to fears of an “ITV curse”. The latest round resulted in fan groups demanding an immediate halt to World Cup ticket sales, accusing Fifa of charging “extortionate” prices to the most dedicated supporters. In February, successful ticket applicants will be selected randomly and then charged for some or all of the tickets they applied for. The final phase of ticket sales will be last-minute general sales, where any remaining tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
