Canstar Blue’s latest Most Satisfied Customer Awards reveal ALDI as Australia’s Best Liquor Retailer, taking the top spot from traditional liquor retailers across the country.
Canstar Blue surveyed more than 1,700 Australians to measure customer satisfaction for their inaugural Liquor Retailer Satisfaction award. ALDI’s debut in the category was successful in claiming the top spot for Overall Satisfaction and received five stars in Relative Price.
Paul Handley, Spirits and Beer Buying Director for ALDI Australia said ALDI is proud to have developed an award-winning range of liquor over the years that delivers top shelf value to customers every day, without the top shelf price tag.
“At ALDI, we aim to deliver the highest quality at the most affordable price point. We are always looking at ways to surprise and delight our customers with our range and can do this by partnering with our strong and passionate supplier base,” Handley said.
“The Canstar Blue Awards are a tremendous compliment, as these results are coming from the most important people to us – our customers.” Handley concluded.
Jason Bowyer, ALDI Australia Wine Buying Director adds, “Whether it is champagne under $25, or an $11.99 vegan-friendly Shiraz from our Winter Wine Range, we encourage Australians to check out our wide selection of multi award-winning wines to suit the season, menu and occasion.”
While it is the first time ALDI has been awarded as the country’s best liquor retailer, ALDI customers know that it is not the first time ALDI’s wine and spirits ranges have been graced with awards. From Darley’s Gin ($29.99) winning Gold at the 2019 Gin Masters, the Tamova Quadruple Distilled Vodka ($29.99) being dubbed the “Master” at the Vodka Masters 2020, to the slew of awards for various wine drops – this range clearly punches above its weight when it comes to outstanding quality at even better prices.
