Weddings can be very expensive, from the cost of the venue, food, DJ, transport, the dress and of course the drinks. 

As with any celebration, weddings see drinks flowing as guests share a cheers and celebrate the happy couple.

But with the average UK wedding costing nearly £20,000, many have found it hard to afford the wedding of their dreams. 

However, now budget-friendly supermarket Aldi has stepped in to offer a helping hand to newlyweds.

Wine expert shares advice for the perfect wedding

Along with the chance to win wine for your wedding day, Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn has shared some expert advice to couples. 

Sharing: "I know myself that when you’re planning a wedding, there’s so much to think about and decisions like choosing the right wine can be overwhelming, especially when budgets are tight.

"Together with Aldi, I want to show happy couples that they don’t need to compromise on the quality of wine at their wedding to get a bargain."

Offering key advice to newlyweds, Caporn says you should have an average of half a bottle of wine per person. 

Saying: "So if you have 120 people coming to your reception that will equal 60 bottles of wine. However, if in doubt, over-order. You don’t want to run out of wine."

The wine expert also shares that you do not need to splash the cash: "Focus on good-quality but great-value favourites rather than expensive, premium bottles. The style of wines like Premier Crus are often not to everyone’s taste, so focus on more approachable wine."
