Eagles boss Oliver Glasner was reluctant to put a definite time frame on the comeback of the £30 million attacker but hopes it will come within the next two weeks. Earlier this month, Glasner took accountability for Nketiah’s injury, confessing he left the former Arsenal forward on the field for too long against Wolves. MORE PALACE NEWS Providing an update today, the Europa League winning coach said: “Let’s say [he will be available] during the week with three games against Newcastle, Ipswich and Manchester City. “I hope he’s available. I don’t know if it will be the first one or if it will be for Ipswich or Manchester City. We hope he’s back.” The South London club have just three senior attackers at their disposal when they travel to Villa Park tomorrow with Eberechi Eze and Nketiah absent through injury, while Daichi Kamada serves the first of his three-match ban.California to consider requiring mental health warnings on social media sitesUS effort to curb China's and Russia's access to advanced computer chips 'inadequate,' report finds

Major poll puts Ireland’s lead parties near neck-and-neckDES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks won her reelection bid Wednesday after a recount confirmed her lead, helping her party pad its thin majority in the U.S. House and retain control of all four of Iowa’s congressional seats. Miller-Meeks defeated Democrat Christina Bohannan in a rematch of 2022, when Miller-Meeks won by 7 percentage points. The margin this year was much tighter — Miller-Meeks' lead over Bohannan was less than a percentage point, or fewer than 1,000 votes. Miller-Meeks represents the 1st District, which includes the eastern part of the state and a swath of south-central Iowa, including Johnson County, home to University of Iowa in Iowa City. Miller-Meeks earned a first term in Congress representing Iowa’s 2nd District when she defeated Democrat Rita Hart by just six votes in 2020. The Associated Press called this year's race at 4:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Miller-Meeks had declared victory earlier, but the AP had not yet called the race because the margin was close enough that it could prompt a recount. Bohannan's campaign on Nov. 14 requested a recount , as any candidate is allowed to do, saying in a statement that the recount will make certain “that every voter is heard.” The campaign said it would have “full trust in this process and will accept the results regardless of the outcome.” The request was made for a recount in each of the district’s 20 counties. Because the margin was less than a percentage point, the state — not the candidate — pays for the costs associated with the recount. Miller-Meeks’ campaign accused Bohannan and other Democrats of being “election deniers," and Republicans have said Bohannan is wasting taxpayer dollars. “This is a delaying tactic to thwart the will of the people,” the Miller-Meeks campaign said in a Nov. 14 statement. “A recount won’t meaningfully change the outcome of this race as the congresswoman’s lead is mathematically impossible to overcome.” Republican incumbents held onto Iowa’s three other congressional seats, maintaining GOP control over the entirety of Iowa’s congressional delegation. The sweep in 2022 represented the first time in three decades that Iowa had an all-Republican delegation, emblematic of the sharp rightward shift in the state not long after former President Barack Obama carried Iowa in 2008 and again in 2012. Obama won with solid support from the eastern counties along the Mississippi River that have mostly backed Trump since and bolster Miller-Meeks' in her district as well. Two competitive congressional races in Iowa this year – the 1st and 3rd Districts – brought millions of dollars in paid advertising to the state from national campaign arms for House Republican and Democrats. Zach Nunn fought off the challenge from Democrat Lanon Baccam in the 3rd District, which includes much of the Des Moines metro area. Republican incumbents Ashley Hinson in the 2nd District and Randy Feenstra in the 4th District won decisively. Hinson defeated Democrat Sarah Corkery. Feenstra defeated Democrat Ryan Melton.

US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. Bitcoin ticks closer to $100,000 in extended surge following US elections NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, setting another new high above $99,000. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. Supreme Court steps into fight over FCC's $8 billion subsidies for internet and phone services WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has stepped into a major legal fight over the $8 billion a year the federal government spends to subsidize phone and internet services in schools, libraries and rural areas, in a new test of federal regulatory power. The justices on Friday agreed to review an appellate ruling that struck down as unconstitutional the Universal Service Fund. The Federal Communications Commission collects money from telecommunications providers, who then pass the cost on to their customers. The Biden administration appealed the lower court ruling, but the case probably won’t be argued until late March. At that point, the Trump administration will be in place and it is not clear whether it will take a different view of the issue. Stock market today: Wall Street gains ground as it notches a winning week and another Dow record Stocks closed higher on Wall Street, giving the market its fifth gain in a row and notching another record high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts' estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. Australia rejects Elon Musk's claim that it plans to control access to the internet MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An Australian Cabinet minister has rejected X Corp. owner Elon Musk’s allegation that the government intends to control all Australians' access to the internet through legislation that would ban young children from social media. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Friday that Musk’s criticism was “unsurprising” after the government introduced legislation to Parliament that would fine platforms including X up to $133 million for allowing children under 16 to hold social media accounts. The spat continues months of open hostility between the Australian government and the tech billionaire over regulators’ efforts to reduce public harm from social media. Parliament could pass the legislation as soon as next week. Oil company Phillips 66 faces federal charges related to alleged Clean Water Act violations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oil company Phillips 66 has been federally indicted in connection with alleged violations of the Clean Water Act in California. The Texas-based company is accused of discharging hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial wastewater containing excessive amounts of oil and grease. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment on Thursday. Phillips is charged with two counts of negligently violating the Clean Water Act and four counts of knowingly violating the Clean Water Act. An arraignment date has not been set. A spokesperson for the company said it was cooperating with prosecutors. US regulators seek to break up Google, forcing Chrome sale as part of monopoly punishment U.S. regulators want a federal judge to break up Google to prevent the company from continuing to squash competition through its dominant search engine after a court found it had maintained an abusive monopoly over the past decade. The proposed breakup floated in a 23-page document filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Justice Department calls for Google to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser and impose restrictions designed to prevent Android from favoring its search engine. Regulators also want to ban Google from forging multibillion-dollar deals to lock in its dominant search engine as the default option on Apple’s iPhone and other devices. New York judge rejects state efforts to shutter bitcoin mine over climate concerns NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge has rejected an effort by state regulators to shutter a bitcoin mine over concerns about its greenhouse gas emissions. The decision will allow the Greenidge power plant to continue operating in the Finger Lakes region of the state. The state had previously found the gas-powered crypto mine ran afoul of a climate law intended to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But on Thursday, a state Supreme Court judge found Greenidge was entitled to a process to defend its continued operation. Environmental groups have protested the facility, which they allege is pumping emissions into the air while contaminating the nearby Seneca Lake. What you need to know about the proposed measures designed to curb Google's search monopoly U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled that Google maintained an illegal monopoly. The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday could radically alter Google’s business. Regulators want Google to sell off its industry-leading Chrome web browser. They outlined a range of behavioral measures such as prohibiting Google from using search results to favor its own services such as YouTube, and forcing it to license search index data to its rivals. They're not going as far as to demand Google spin off Android, but are leaving that door open if the remedies don't work. Apple and Google face UK investigation into mobile browser dominance LONDON (AP) — A British watchdog says Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers. The watchdog's report Friday recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year. The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker’s tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. The CMA’s report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers “the clearest or easiest option.” Apple said it disagreed with the findings.QB Tre Ford approaches upcoming CFL season armed with Elks’ vote of confidence

Qualcomm's $1.4 Billion Bet on Nuvia: A Strategic Move to Cut Costs on Arm PaymentsNoneEcotoxicology Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth Insight, Report Forecast By 2024-2031 |

Satirical news outlet The Onion’s attempt to acquire Alex Jones’s Infowars platform through a bankruptcy auction was set to be reviewed in a Texas courtroom Monday, amid Jones’s allegations of fraud aimed at the acquisition. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston will evaluate the November auction process and address the allegations of collusion and fraud raised by Jones. The auction is part of Jones’s personal bankruptcy case, filed in late 2022 following defamation lawsuit judgments totaling nearly $1.5 billion. The lawsuits were filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which Jones previously had repeatedly claimed was staged. The Onion’s proposal included an agreement from Sandy Hook families to forgo some or all of their auction proceeds, allowing other creditors to receive an additional $100,000 compared to other bids. Jones and First United American Companies have accused Murray, The Onion, and the Sandy Hook families of illegal collusion, fraud, and violating auction rules. Murray has denied such allegations and called them “a disappointed bidder’s improper attempt to influence an otherwise fair and open auction process.” The auction includes Infowars’ studio equipment in Austin, Texas, social media accounts, video archives, websites, and product trademarks, which Jones currently uses to broadcast his shows. The Associated Press reports that Jones has set up additional broadcasting facilities ahead of potentially losing access to Infowars’ platforms. He has indicated that he might continue using the Infowars platforms if the auction winner agrees to him being there. Jones is appealing the $1.5 billion in judgments on grounds of free speech, though he has since acknowledged the Sandy Hook shooting as a legitimate shooting. In a lawsuit in Connecticut, the state’s appeals court recently reduced the original $1.44 billion judgment by $150 million but upheld the rest of the award. Jones’s lawyer has announced plans to seek a review from Connecticut’s highest court. Jones is also appealing a separate $50 million judgment in a similar Texas defamation lawsuit. In a statement earlier this month, The Onion said it plans to relaunch Infowars in January 2025 as a parody of Jones and conspiracy theorists, according to statements from the company’s CEO. “Our goal in a couple of years is for people to think of Infowars as the funniest and dumbest website that exists,” Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, told The Associated Press.

Throughout Kliff Kingsbury's tenure as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals , the team was known for its late-season slumps. The Cardinals, who have lost back-to-back-to-back games after previously being 6-4, seem to still have that cloud over their heads. One analyst believes QB Kyler Murray deserves criticism for it. "Kyler love-bombed me for the first 10 weeks of the season." @Realrclark25 thinks it's difficult "to buy into the Arizona Cardinals" because of Kyler Murray's second half struggles 🤫 pic.twitter.com/5c3ExxlQu3 ESPN's Ryan Clark, who played 13 seasons in the NFL largely with the Pittsburgh Steelers , claims that Murray "love-bombed" him with false promise at the start of the year. He went on to mention that it's not the first time Murray's production has fallen off midseason, after doing the same in 2020. ESPN then showed a graphic comparing Murray's stats while under pressure from Weeks 1-10 to his stats from the past three games, and they're not pretty. His completion percentage drops from 61 to 39 and his TD-INT ratio falls from 4-0 to 1-3. In total , Murray has thrown five picks in his past three games with only three touchdowns. His average Passer Rating is 76.8, and he hasn't completed more than 70 percent of his passes in any of the three contests. In the past, it was Kingsbury who took the blame for Murray's struggles down the stretch. It's worth noting Kingsbury, who is now the Washington Commanders ' offensive coordinator, faced that same criticism again during a three-game Commanders skid before Washington beat the Tennessee Titans prior to its bye week. Now, though, Murray must deal with the concerning narrative himself. He has played the Cardinals out of a playoff spot in recent weeks, and he must be better if Arizona has any chance to climb back into the fight for the NFC West title.The Liberal candidate in a federal byelection in B.C. says she is applying for Métis membership after a local group questioned her claims of Indigenous identity. Madison Fleischer says in a written statement that she self-identifies as Métis based on what she knows about her great-grandmother’s heritage and is “collecting the necessary documentation to go through the application process” for citizenship with B.C.’s Métis Nation. In the meantime, Fleischer, who is the candidate in the Dec. 16 byelection in Cloverdale-Langley City, says she has removed “Métis” from her social media profile descriptions to ensure there is “no confusion” about her Indigenous status. Her response comes after the Waceya Métis Society — which describes itself as a chartered community representing Métis people in the Langley and White Rock regions of B.C.’s Lower Mainland — said in a release that it “wishes to distance itself from Madison’s claims of Métis identity.” The society says it met with Fleischer over the weekend to discuss her claims of Métis identity but was “disappointed that she could not provide any evidence to support her Métis heritage.” The attention on Fleischer comes after Edmonton Centre Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault left cabinet last week amid questions about his shifting claims of Indigenous heritage and his business dealings. In her statement, Fleischer says she has “always been vocal about not yet holding Métis Nation British Columbia citizenship.” The Waceya Métis Society says it has asked Fleischer to “properly research and verify her Indigenous heritage before making any further public assertions.” “In this meeting, Madison was unable to substantiate her claims with any documentation or historical connections to Métis communities,” the society says about their Nov. 23 meeting with Fleischer. “The integrity of Métis identity is not to be taken lightly, especially in public office, where the representation of our community must be accurate, respectful, and legitimate.” Cloverdale-Langley City was previously held by Liberal John Aldag, who resigned to run for MLA with the B.C. New Democrats. Aldag was defeated by B.C. Conservative candidate Harman Bhangu in the Langley-Abbotsford seat in the Oct. 19 provincial election. Fleischer, whose Liberal party biography calls her a small-business owner who operates a public relations firm in Langley, is going up against candidates including federal Conservative Tamara Jansen, who held the seat from 2019 to 2021 before losing a close race to Aldag.

It didn't take Syracuse first-year coach Fran Brown long to figure out the key matchup for Saturday afternoon's Atlantic Coast Conference game visiting Miami. "Syracuse has a really good quarterback," Brown said of Kyle McCord, "and Miami has a really good quarterback (Cam Ward)." With a win on Saturday, the No. 6 Hurricanes (10-1, 6-1 ACC) can clinch a berth in the league championship game against SMU. Miami is a 10 1/2-point favorite for Saturday's game. Syracuse (8-3, 4-3) has reached eight wins for just the fourth time since 2002, going 8-5 in 2010 and 2012 and 10-3 in 2018. However, the Orange haven't defeated a Top-10 team since knocking off Clemson in 2017. Miami leads the nation in scoring (44.7), and the Hurricanes will count on perfect passing conditions in Syracuse's dome. That could be huge for Ward, who leads the nation with 34 touchdown passes, ranking second in passing yards (3,774) and fourth in passing efficiency. Ward's top target is wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, who needs just 21 yards to reach 1,000 for the second straight season. Restrepo also ranks tied for seventh in the nation with 10 TD receptions. Ward has some other top targets, including 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end Elijah Arroyo, who is a walking mismatch because of his size and speed. He leads Miami with 18.5 yards per reception. Hurricanes wide receivers Isaiah Horton and Jacolby George have combined for 12 TD passes, and Sam Brown has added two more. Each of them has more than 500 receiving yards this season. Miami's running game features battering ram Damien Martinez (739 yards, 5.5 average, eight TDs); versatile Mark Fletcher Jr. (499 yards, 5.7 average, six TDs); and game-breaking freshman Jordan Lyle (361 yards, 8.6 average, four TDs). Defensively, Miami's big-play man is safety Mishael Powell, who ranks second in the ACC with five interceptions. "He's all about winning," Miami coach Mario Cristobal said of Powell. "He's a smart, self-starting team player." On special teams, Miami kicker Andres Borregales ranks second in the ACC with 97 points. He is 52-for-52 on extra points and 15-for-16 on field goals. Meanwhile, McCord ranks No. 1 in the nation in passing yards (3,946) and tied for seventh in TD passes (26). McCord, a transfer from Ohio State, has also set Syracuse's single-season record for passing yards. In last week's 31-24 win over Connecticut, McCord passed for a career-high 470 yards. However, McCord is just 46th in the nation in passing efficiency, due in part to his high total of interceptions (12). Syracuse also has three of the top six pass-catchers in the ACC in terms of yards: tight end Oronde Gadsden II (810) and wide receivers Jackson Meeks (801) and Trebor Pena (743). Gadsden, who is from the greater Miami area, has had three straight 100-yard games. He is the son of former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Oronde Gadsden. Syracuse's run game is led by LeQuint Allen, who has rushed for 819 yards, a 4.3 average and 12 TDs. The issue for Syracuse could be its defense, which ranks 13th in the ACC in points allowed (27.8). Miami's defense is fourth (22.3). Even so, Syracuse coach Brown said he's excited about this matchup. "I heard Miami is going to come deep," Brown said of Miami fans. "It's going to be intense in the stands. It's going to be intense on the field. I think this is a game everyone wants to see." --Field Level MediaWhether you're shopping for tonight's dinner or just looking for another bottle to add to your collection, perusing the wine aisle can be the most riveting moment of your grocery store experience. With so many types and grape varietals and each bottle encasing new and mysterious flavors, it's easy to lose track of time arriving to your decision. Making a choice in Aldi's wine aisle is no different; in fact, with its extensive range of reds, whites, and sparklings from American and global options, the task can turn overwhelming. There's no harm in taking home a bottle that isn't necessarily your favorite or doesn't pair perfectly with your meal, but you want to while also respecting your wallet. To better guide us through the wine selection at Aldi, we've consulted a team of sommeliers and wine experts whose insight can help everyone — from those of us to those of us stuck on our sweet-and-bubblies. We asked our experts to do the real perusing for us, choosing the bottles that caught their attention the most among Aldi's selection. Including Jon Thorsen from ; Murphy Perng, WSET-3 certified and founder of ; Lydia Richards, sommelier and founder of ; Sofia Flannery, head sommelier at ; and Alison Morris Roslyn, sommelier and CEO of ; our experts considered both price and quality to highlight some of the best wines at Aldi. William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir ($9.99, Monterey County, California) While Monterey County is one of California's lesser-known wine regions, it's still producing spectacular bottles. Alison Morris Roslyn, a level-three sommelier and CEO of wine consultancy Francey Not Fancy, shares that the region's William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir is her top Aldi pick. "The wines [from Monterey County] are interesting and usually more affordable than what you'll find in more famous wine country like Napa or Sonoma," she says. "Central Coast wines also tend to be Burgundian in style — we're talking Pinot Noir that is more crisp and crunchy than ripe and jammy." Sofia Flannery, head sommelier at New York's Vinyl Steakhouse, remarks "This is a great wine for any Pinot lover. The age gives it a nice, earthy punch [that] any fan of French Burgundy would appreciate." An Aldi wine that's so good it won awards, this Pinot Noir swept the competition with its 2014 vintage. It was awarded a 90-point gold medal by the BTI (Beverage Testing Institute) and labeled Best Buy & Exceptional. The red wine also offers ample pairing possibilities. Roslyn gushes, "It's earthy and medium-bodied ... Pinot Noir like this was made to pair with mushrooms," She adds that mushroom or pepperoni pizza are some of her favorite comfort food pairings with Pinot Noir. Flannery says, "It's a well-developed, uncomplicated, easy-drinking Pinot. [It's] perfect for some early evening porch drinks with sharp cheeses and jams, or served with the main course of herby chicken or white fish." La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ($25, Sonoma Coast, California) While Pinot Noirs have exploded in popularity, rising to match even the powerhouse of a California Cabernet Sauvignon, it hasn't always been easy to find a bottle that balances quality and price. When you're willing to splurge a little extra for a special occasion but still don't want to break the bank, Aldi's La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir accomplishes the perfect balance between incredible taste and affordability. Lydia Richards, certified sommelier and owner of Vino Concierge wine consultancy, shares that this Pinot is one of her favorites at the supermarket chain, and it's usually available for less than $25. "It just got recognized as 2024's Top Value Wine by Wine Spectator, and it punches way above its weight limit," she says. "Fruit-forward and approachable, it's great for pizza night or even [with] carnitas tacos." Thanks to a year-round moderate climate with foggy mornings that dissipate into bright afternoons, the Sonoma Coast is always a reliable region for Pinot Noir. What makes La Crema's bottle especially award-worthy is a unique blend of flavor and spice. Craig McAllister, chief winemaker at La Crema, revealed in an interview with that the pinot noir grapes are sourced from various areas along the Sonoma Coast, from the southern Russian River Valley to vineyards much further north. According to the wine's product page, this broad blend of grapes amounts to a cherry and plum fruitiness that's tied together with a hint of espresso. La Cornada Crianza Tempranillo ($5, Utiel-Requena, Spain) If you want to spice up your everyday wines with a bit of Spanish flair, look no further than La Cornada Crianza Tempranillo. Jon Thorsen, wine expert and founder of website Reverse Wine Snob, barely contains his excitement when he mentions the Tempranillo as one of his favorites from Aldi. "How can a wine that spends six months in American oak (and another 18 months in the bottle) retail for only $5?" he marvels. "Heck, it must cost almost that much to get it here from Spain!" Made with tempranillo grapes, La Cornada boasts the "Crianza" designation, a label you'll notice on some Spanish bottles. On others, you may see "Reserva" or "Gran Reserva." These distinctions have nothing to do with the type of grape. Rather, they signify that the bottle is a Spanish wine typically produced with higher-quality grapes from small-production vineyards. They also represent strict aging requirements. Crianzas, for example, must be aged for two years, partly in oak barrels and later in the bottle. To Thorsen, one of the reasons for the lower price could be the lack of recognition for Utiel-Requena, the Spanish region that the grapes come from. Utiel-Requena is often overshadowed by the more well-known La Rioja, but both regions deserve space in your cabinet. "It's smooth. It's spicy. It's balanced. It's delicious," Thorsen says. "To be fair, it's not very deep or complex, but it is head and shoulders above anything else at this low price point." Peaks & Tides Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon ($11.99, Sonoma, California) "Classic Sonoma County Cab usually comes with a high price tag, but not in this case," says Jon Thorsen. Your first promising sign about Aldi's exclusive Cabernet Sauvignon is that it's produced in Sonoma County. The esteemed wine-growing region enjoys plenty of sunshine, quick-draining soil, and a Mediterranean climate that creates the perfect growing conditions for this varietal. The grapes are smaller and almost berry-like, giving the wine its concentrated, jammy flavors. Thorsen describes the wine as "rich, juicy, and balanced. With just the right amount of French oak, it's hard to go wrong here." Thanks to the grape's thicker skins, most Cabernets also boast higher levels of . From there, the flavor profile can vary greatly. Some Cabs deliver notes of dark berries while others are as intense as pencil lead or cigar wrapper. The back of Aldi's Peaks & Tides bottle, for example, details flavors of pomegranate, vanilla, and cedar. With a flavor profile that can hit you like a freight train, you'll want to carefully consider pairings. Anything too light could easily be overwhelmed, so go for heavier dishes and proteins that stand up to the wine's tannins and higher alcohol content. Roasted lamb, red meat on the grill, or a black pepper-crusted tuna make for some mouthwatering accompaniments to the Peaks & Tides Cab. Peaks & Tides Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($9.99, Sonoma County, California) "This one is for my California Chardonnay Oak lovers (myself included!)," raves Sofia Flannery, head sommelier at New York's Vinyl Steakhouse. "If a big, bold Cali Chardonnay is your thing, this wine hits all the marks." An Aldi exclusive, Peaks & Tides Chardonnay represents another unbeatable bottle for under $10, boasting an 89-point silver medal from the Sommelier's Choice Awards for its 2020 vintage. Chardonnay is beloved for its adaptability and versatility. Chardonnay grapes from a warmer climate typically result in a less acidic and fruitier wine, whereas cooler climate varietals, like those from Sonoma County, show off brighter, citrusy flavors. Aging also plays a role. Where stainless steel-aged chardonnay is straightforward and crisp, oak-aged whites (like Peaks & Tides') deliver fuller and more complex flavors. Flannery describes the bottle, "If you decant and let it breathe, you'll start getting some of those beautiful secondary notes coming through, like vanilla, mint, and baking spices." Contrary to what you might have thought, white wines can also be decanted, especially bigger Chardonnays whose flavors could be tight and muddled when you first open them. Letting the white wine breathe a bit can help show off its complexity and air out any funky smells. Additionally, white wines won't take long to reach their optimal taste. "Try [it] with a white cream pasta, grilled shrimp, or buttery scallops," Flannery recommends. Crestwood Barrel Riesling ($5.99, Columbia Valley, Washington) Sometimes, we're a bit shy about our wine preferences thanks to the idea that "real wine" is only big, dry, and complex. However, Alison Morris Roslyn, sommelier and founder of Francey Not Fancy, says that there's no shame in going for the lighter, sweeter option. She chose Crestwood Barrel Riesling as one of her top picks from Aldi. "This is going to be a sweeter Riesling," she says. "I know, I know — wine drinkers typically prefer a dry Riesling, but hear me out ... I'm not sure there's a better combination for Chinese takeout than Riesling." In particular, she says an off-dry or slightly sweet one makes for the perfect pairing. She adds that the white wine comes from Washington's Columbia Valley, an AVA (American Viticultural Area) known for "gorgeous Rieslings." Due to the region's semi-arid climate, viticulturists aren't subject to the whims of heavy rainstorms, giving them more control over irrigation and making the Columbia Valley ideal for producing great wines. Why, though, would you pair a Riesling with Chinese food? "It does a great job of offsetting the spiciness of Chinese takeout," Roslyn explains. "[It] has enough weight to stand up to some of the heavier meats in your order while still being light enough to pair with shrimp." Some of her favorite combos are Riesling with pork dumplings or orange chicken. While we're on the topic of guilty pleasures, why not ? Elementalist Pinot Grigio ($6.99, California) A grape that we've been cultivating since the Middle Ages, Pinot Gris has elbowed its way into the modern age. It's a popular choice for happy hour on the patio or in the wine aisle at Aldi. Known by many names, the Italians call the beloved grape Pinot Grigio, and after California capitalized on its popularity boom in the early 2000s, you'll find bottles from the state labeled both Pinot Grigio and Gris. Aldi's exclusive Elementalist Pinot Grigio, for example, delivers exactly what we're looking for in the white wine. Level three sommelier and proprietor of Matter of Wine Murphy Perng says "Lively acidity lifts its overall structure, but a touch of sugar keeps it balanced, making for an easy-drinking wine." The 2020 vintage won a silver medal and 87 points from the Sommelier's Choice Awards, making it another solid choice for under $10. "[The] Pinot Grigio opens with crushed white flowers, green apple, and ripe pear," Perng says. "On the palate, the wine is full and flavorful, with white peach, lemon rind, and cantaloupe moving in harmony." Unlike a crisp, Italian-style Pinot Grigio (which could pair well with richer, creamier dishes), a fuller, California-style like the Elementalist needs a little more space to show off. Enjoy it best with simple stews, olives, or herby chicken dishes. For an easy appetizer and splash of something before dinner, the Pinot Grigio is even a great contender for a . Specially Selected Sauvignon Blanc ($9.99, Marlborough, New Zealand) In 2023, Aldi released a lineup of exclusive and premium wines under its Specially Selected label. The collection came from over forty years of cultivating relationships with wineries around the globe and an increased demand for affordable, quality wines in the supermarket's aisles. Each bottle represented a well-known varietal from its classic wine-growing region, such as the Specially Selected Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. Murphy Perng chose the Sauvignon Blanc as one of her top picks from Aldi in part due to how white wines are made. "Producing white wine is simply less involved than producing red wine," she explains. "It may require little to no oak during the fermentation process, limited aging, etc." What this boils down to is that your dollar going further with a white wine opposed to a red. From Marlborough, the New Zealand region that's got its grip on the global Sauvignon Blanc market, Aldi's Specially Selected bottle brings just what we crave out of the crisp, white wine. "The sip reveals a focused grapefruit core complemented by tropical flavors," Perng says. "An undertone of textured minerality adds to its overall intrigue." The crowd-pleasing white would pair great with your herb-heavy dishes, white fish, and softer cheeses. Belletti Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry ($6.99, Veneto, Italy) Another exclusive Aldi wine that brought home awards, the Belletti Prosecco is decorated with a 90-point gold medal and will take your mimosas and bellinis to the next level. "The Belletti Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry is a great find and delivers quality for such a low price," enthuses Lydia Richards, sommelier and owner of Vino Concierge. "Prosecco has become everyone's favorite Italian bubbly; it differs from Champagne as it is light, fruit-forward, bright, [and] ready to be opened and enjoyed immediately." While the bottle may tout "extra dry," don't be fooled — "It's actually on the sweeter side," sommelier Alison Morris Roslyn explains. Additionally, the D.O.C. label means the wine is made with glera grapes from Italy's Prosecco winemaking region. Richards describes this Prosecco as delicate and floral with notes of citrus, apples, pears, and melons. "It is zippy on the palate with nice bubbles, all balanced by a touch of sweetness," she says. Echoing this sentiment, Sofia Flannery, head sommelier at Vinyl Steakhouse, also singles out the Belletti Prosecco as one of her top selections at Aldi. "Don't underestimate how good of an aperitif a dry Prosecco can be," she says. She recommends charcuterie-board style pairings for the bubbly — spicy salami, funky, hard cheeses (like Pecorino), and fig spreads on crackers. Arosa Sweet Sparkling Moscato Rosé ($5.99, Italy) Although she was initially hesitant about Aldi's selection of sparkling wines, the Arosa Sweet Sparkling Moscato Rosé caught Alison Morris Roslyn's attention. A pink wine that delivers exactly what it promises, it's an excellent option if you prefer a sweeter sparkling wine or want a welcome substitution in any Champagne cocktail. The bubbly rosé is made with Italian moscato grapes that are briefly left in contact with grape skins during production to achieve its pink hue. Roslyn's uncertainty came in part due to how some of the sparkling wines at Aldi are made. "[Many are] produced using the Charmat method, which means that [the] second fermentation (which creates the bubbles) happens in a vat, not in the bottle," she explains. "It's really challenging to find affordable sparkling wine that isn't on the sweeter side and doesn't give you a headache the next day." She had to admit, however, that there's space in every kitchen cabinet for a cheaper sparkling. "I'd pair the Moscato Rosé with sugary desserts," she recommends. "You always want a sweeter sparkling with sugary desserts like cookies or cakes. Dry sparkling is bitter paired with most sugary sweets." Once you've satisfied your sweet tooth, though, make sure to check , since a sparkling can lose its bubbles rather quickly. Methodology To select our picks for some of the best wines at Aldi, we looked for bottles that showcased both quality and affordability. Firstly, we compiled a list of several Aldi wines, focusing specifically on bottles that had won awards, been recognized, or were celebrated by various reviewers and websites. We sought a good balance of reds, whites, and sparklings, while also looking out for popular varietals like Pinot Noir and Cabernet. Apart from a notable exception, we chose wines that hovered around the $10 mark to respect our readers' budgets, and to suggest good bottles for stocking up. Armed with a lineup of solid wines, we reached out to a group of wine experts and sommeliers, requesting that they choose a few of the bottles from the list that really stood out to them, but leaving them the freedom to recommend other U.S. Aldi wines that they admired. Our experts responded with their selections and brief descriptions of the wines for us to incorporate into the list. Recommended
