My Countdown To 2021
Adult Break a·dult break /əˈdəlt,ˈadˌəlt//brāk/
noun
the time between Christmas and New Years’ where you don’t know what day it is, who you are, or what you are supposed to be doing; people who send emails and Powerpoint presentations during this time are deemed certifiable and may be sent for treatment immediately.
Like many of you, I was successful in tackling my Wine Advent Calendar (hello I was born for this), but now that Christmas has come and gone what am I going to do for my year-end countdown? Trust me, I am ready to say hello to 2021.
Luckily, Aldi is going to help me ring in the new year with their Sparkling Wine Countdown Calendar. There is no better way to enjoy adult break than sipping on an assortment of bubbles from Spain, Italy, and France.
Ready to ditch the holiday leftovers and pour yourself a glass of bubbly? I’ve got you covered!
When is the Countdown to the New Year calendar available?
Unlike other Aldi advent calendars, the Sparkling Wine Countdown calendar launches the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
How many bottles of bubbles are there?
Each calendar contains seven assorted “mini” bottles of bubbles. Each bottle is 187ml which is just enough for one proper glass.
How much does the calendar cost?
The calendar was approximately $25.00 and guests can purchase no more than two. Honestly, it’s a wonderful deal and you have the chance to taste bubbles from around the world. I snagged one for myself and grabbed the other one as a stocking stuffer for my mom and she loved it.
What’s inside the Countdown to the New Year calendar?
I’ve included photos of each bottle throughout the post, but here are all the bottles in order of consumption:
Belletti | Prosecco | Italy | ABV: 11%
Belletti | Sparkling Moscato Rosé | Italy | ABV: 9.5%
Francois Fouché | Brut | France | ABV: 11%
Gourmandises Demi-Sec | Sparkling Chardonnay (ice) | France | ABV: 11.5%
Belletti | Sparkling Rosé Extra Dry | Italy | ABV: 11.5%
Belletti | Moscato d’ Asti | Italy | ABV: 5.5%
Heretat el Padruell | Cava | Spain | ABV: 11.5%
How does this compare to other advent calendars?
I’ve enjoyed my fair share of advent calendars over the past few years, but I have to say this has been at the top of the list. Not only have I enjoyed all of the bottles of bubbly ( which is unusual) but it was manageable and the price point was perfect.
If you’ve managed to snag one of these gems, Congratulations! I hope you’ve enjoyed counting down the final days of 2020. Maybe you missed out on this bubbly bright spot of the holidays. That’s ok!
