A range of cut-price liqueurs by Aldi have won awards that establish them as some of the best in the world.
The discount supermarket picked up the top prize, the Spirits Master award, for its £6.99 Creme de Cassis at the Spirits Business Global Liqueur Masters.
The bottle of blackcurrant liqueur beat rival Joseph Cartron Double Crème de Cassis, which costs nearly double the price at £13.45.
Aldi has won a Spirits Master award - the highest possible accolade - for its £6.99 Creme de Cassis blackcurrent liqueur. The discount supermarket recommends shoppers pair the liqueur with its £10.99 Veuve Monsigny Champagne
Aldi also won gold medals for its £6.99 Specially Selected Irish Cream - similar to Bailey's in taste - and for its £4.69 Bellucci Amaretto.
It picked up the same medals for its £12.99 Clarke's Devil's Own Hot Cinnamon Liqueur - similar to Fireball Whisky - and for its £6.99 Specially Selected Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream Liqueur.

Julie Ashfield, joint managing director of corporate buying at Aldi UK, said: 'It's great to see our liqueurs getting such high praise from the experts.
'To have won a Spirits Master accolade is a real achievement.
'Our Creme de Cassis is the perfect accompaniment to our great-value Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut and we are expecting lots of shoppers to stock up on these award-winning products for Christmas and New Year's Eve.'
Aldi's alcoholic beverage range has picked up more than 200 medals in 2017 to date.
This year, the store has won five drinks retailer titles including 'Retailer of the Year' at the Drinks Business Awards and 'Own Brand Spirits Range' at the International Spirits Challenge.
Among some of its most triumphant bottles is its £10 Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin, which was also crowned one of the best gins in the world at the International Spirits Challenge earlier this year.
Its £8.99 Sumptuously Rich Pudding Wine also won the highest possible award, a gold medal, at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC).
