Winking Owl White Blend is a super affordable California white wine blend that comes in a 3 liter box. White wine blends use a mix of grapes that doesn’t fall into one of the major wine types like Chardonnay. Generally white blends are going to be balanced with a bit of sweetness and not much complexity. From that tasting notes online it appears that Aldi’s white blend fits with this category. Most report that it is not overly flavorful or complex but it drinkable and is better chilled.
This would be a good everyday white wine to keep in the fridge for when you need a bit for cooking or want just one glass. Being able to keep the wine for a long period of time after opening is one of the big benefits to buying boxed wine vs bottled. Typically an open bottle of wine should be used within a few days after opening and will start tasting sour after a week but boxed wines typically last about 6 weeks after opening. You typically don’t even need to refrigerate boxed wine after opening but it may last longer if kept cool and this white wine is best served chilled.
White blend has fruity aromatic notes of pineapple and orange blossom. This white wine has balanced sweetness and acidity and is not overly dry. The finish leaves aromas of tropical fruit on your palate. Pairs well with fruit, seafood in a light cream sauce, or light salads. It pairs well with either your main course or deserts.
