ENGLAND will face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 after a last-gasp goal. As the Three Lions descend on Olympiastadion Berlin hopeful for a win on Sunday, millions of us will be watching with a drink in hand back home. In the true spirit of British football culture, it’s always nice to have a tipple to mark big matches.
Luckily for those hosting a watching party at home, getting the cocktails flowing doesn’t have to be an expensive job. And that’s thanks to Aldi. The budget supermarket has introduced a range of branded boozes for this weekend only.
At just £14.99 for a big bottle, they’re cheaper than every other supermarket. Those looking to bag a bargain will need to be quick, though.
The bottles are being sold as a Specialbuy deal - so once they’re gone, they’re gone. Gordon’s London Dry Gin, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold Rum and Antica Sambuca all hit the middle aisle today. Whizzing up a G&T or making a martini from the comfort of your own home has never been cheaper.
Maybe save the Sambuca shots till after the game, though - nobody wants to black out before the opening whistle is blown. The Three Lions semi-final victory over the Netherlands was watched by a peak audience of 21.6 million on ITV on Wednesday night.
Their 2-1 win was the most-watched television programme in 19 months. This is the highest peak audience on a single channel since December 2022, when the nation watched England’s quarter-final exit on ITV in the FIFA World Cup..
