@CCF: LIDL offers more premium brands than Aldi, brands you can find in other supermarkets, too.
Don't think, that the food in one marekt is better than in the other one. For fresh, non packed stuff like fruits, vegetables and meat, it could be, but the other things are often made from the same company, but the packing have different logo's.
And today, in the EC it's getting more and more, that you will find the same stuff in other countries, too. Look, how many things have multilingual badges.
I just have checked the wine. It's annother example for fooling the customers. It's just written "Vino Tinto 2007 Valencia D.O.", no company-name. On the back, in tiny letters, it's written "bottled at" and then follows just a number. The number starts with D-RP. This means, that it's bottled in Germany, country Rheinland-Pfalz - in wine-factories, where all kind of different wines were bottled. The "raw-material" is delivered by big tank-trucks.
So I don't really believe, that it 100% original Spanish wine, and not, that it's 100% chemical-free.
The biggest of these hidden wine-filling-companies, the company Pieroth, was connected with the big wine-scandal in the 80ies. They sweetenend Austian wine with glycol, the frost protection for cars.
Why nowadays everything shall be o.k. there? And o.k. with wine for 1.19 Euro per liter?
@Raul: don't you make "filling up"-travelling? Scandinavians are well known for that?
The whole pub-business in Tallin and Riga is living from Finnish and Swedish tourists.
Somewhere I still have a nice pic, how my Swedish friends werey busy to fill up their VW Vento with car-parts and alcohol. It was so full, that the'd thrown single beer-cans behind and even under the seats.
The car was so overloaded, that they couldn't take the ferry any more. They had to drive several kilometers more to take the bridges.
