JPOC's guide to buying wine in the Lidl supermarket in Germany

Lidl is at the low price, limited choice end of the range of German supermarkets. Accordingly, it carries a restricted seection of wines but it is worthwhile because it does offer some decent wines at good prices.

I do not think that you would ever want to make a special trip there but if you are close by, it is handy to know that you can actually get something jolly drinkable.
