Fan Favorites

The Fan Favorites survey is an ALDI-owned initiative that showcases the exceptional selection and quality of products in our stores. It allows fans to vote for their favorite items across categories like wine, meat, seafood, and cheese, while discovering new finds. This initiative aims to raise awareness of our diverse offerings and engage our loyal customers by giving them a fun way to share their opinions.

Product of the Year

Product of the Year is the largest consumer-based award for product innovation globally, determined through an annual survey involving over 40,000 shoppers. Its goal is to help consumers find the best products available in the market. Products are assessed and compared to well-known brand alternatives, with voting carried out by the market research company Kantar.

Best New Product Award

The Best New Product Awards is the leading consumer-voted award for consumer products. The program follows a rigorous process of product selection, category definition, and research. Winner determination is based 100% on the responses of American shoppers. The Best New Product Award’s find in-market purchasers of the competing products through an online survey of 10,328 American shoppers, to identify the ones Americans would purchase again.

Wine Enthusiast

Rating more than 24,000 wines from across the world every year, Wine Enthusiast performs blind taste tests on submitted ALDI wines. Reviewers may know general information about the product to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. Wines are rated on a scale 80 (acceptable) to 100 (classic).
