Aldi’s New Product Line May Just Be Their Best Yet

If you’ve been to Aldi, chances are you love it. (We do—here’s why.) But the low-cost, high-quality food is just the tip of the budget-friendly iceberg. The grocery chain is rolling out new products all the time, and the latest product launch is as incredible as their last. Introducing Aldi’s Vista Bay Hard Seltzer!

Here’s the Lowdown

The brand-new product debuted at the Aldi Spring Brunch event on April 3, 2019. Along with the announcement that Aldi will soon be carrying a line of hard seltzer, the retailer graciously revealed four refreshing flavors:

• Black Cherry
• Lime
• Ruby Grapefruit
• Coconut Mango

The Coconut Mango is an Aldi exclusive, so you won’t be able to get that anywhere else!

Courtesy Aldi

It comes as no surprise you won’t have to shell out much for this boozy bev (which has just 100 calories a pop!). A six-pack of Vista Bay Hard Seltzer will only set you back $5.89. The new drinks were announced on the same day that the chain brought summery pineapple mimosas to the shelves. Is Aldi stepping up their tipsy game for summer?

This boozy Aldi item was voted one of the best in the world.

When Can I Get My Hands on the Aldi Hard Seltzer?

Unfortunately, you can’t get a sip of this seltzer quite yet. The announcement comes just shy of a month from the actual product release day. But stop by Aldi on May 2, and you might be able to swipe a six-pack for yourself. Be quick though, we have a feeling these will sell out fast!
