  • I remember seeing a wine section at my own local Aldi and was surprised that it was like- a pretty sizable section

    Because of their Market Power they are known here to sweep up a lot of Expansives wines in second sellings and they run a whole lot of undercover someliers and “black Label” wines ,where top wineries sell their access produce under another name. Aldi in germany was sort of a “must stop” for wine fans because of that and thereby avoided the “lower class” association. So i thought that would be how they take america as well -> cheap as European wine .

    Check out if they have a Own Brand Rjoja there “lopez Murillio” its the Chad , they have giant storages so currently i enjoying a 2018er wine for 3,50€ .And if since they Import lots of german white wine look out for “Spätlese”

    Think my friend even mentioned once that they’d get German tourists in every now and then and they were shocked at how identical the stores were in both countries.

    Funnyly , while your “Aldi” is “Aldi South” - and my aldi is Aldi North - your aldis look better then my , theres this distinct , Cute South german Catholic vs North german coldness and Bauhaus Brutalism divide in their store designs.









  • Iran’s IRGC says it has completely destroyed Amazon’s central data hub in Bahrain with several cruise missiles and warns more are coming, per Fars News. The attack marks a new phase: Iran is now targeting U.S. tech infrastructure. The IRGC has warned 18 American tech companies — including Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, and Google — that they are legitimate targets. AWS facilities in the UAE and Bahrain have already been hit before, disrupting banking and critical systems that rely on Amazon’s cloud. Data centers are now strategic targets. Iran argues these companies support U.S. military and intelligence operations. By striking Amazon, Tehran is signaling that American tech firms operating in the region are no longer off-limits. The war has expanded into the digital domain.
