Fresh fruit and vegetables are the new frontline in ALDI Inc's assault on Australia's $70 billion supermarket sector, as the German discounter looks to beat the most profitable duopoly in global groceries at their own game. For the first time, ALDI's Australian arm plans to ship fruit and vegetables direct from farms in Australia to its stores, according to one major fruit supplier, removing the only competitive advantage for incumbent heavyweights Woolworths Ltd and Wesfarmers-owned Coles.

Aldi’s famous Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut has already been voted ‘better than Moet’ by top experts, but the supermarket’s new figures show people are buying it in droves.

It turns out Aldi sold a whopping 1.25 million bottles of the French champagne last year, which equates to around 3,425 bottles per day, 7 News reported.

The bottle retails for $21.99 - which is a very cheap alternative to rivals Moet and Bollinger.

It was awarded the Top 100 Blue Gold at the Sydney International Wine Competition, and blind taste by UK equivalent of Choice, Which?, voted the drop above Laurent-Perrier and Moet, which retail for more than double the price.

New Idea Food reported acclaimed reviewer, Campbell Mattinson, from The Wine Front, also awarded the champagne 92 points.

‘It's easy to see the attraction, and the quality,” he said. “Damn good buying, you'd have to say.”
