At about $3 per bottle, it's essentially Aldi's much more aesthetically pleasing answer to Trader Joe's Charles Shaw wines. And some Winking Owl wines are good. But not this one. A good Shiraz should be big and fruit-forward with lots of rich berry flavors and a tannic backbone.

White Wine: 1-2 years past the expiration date. Red Wine: 2-3 years past the expiration date. Cooking Wine: 3-5 years past the expiration date. Fine Wine: 10 to 20 years.
