Aldi launches new Christmas gin £6 cheaper than M&S sell out lookalike

Aldi is preparing for Christmas with its new gin that looks a little similar to one sold by Marks and Spencer.

Aldi is launching a limited edition Infusionist Glitter Globe Gin Liqueur, just a month after M&S released their light-up snow globe gin.

Priced at £13.99 for 70cl with 23-carat gold leaf, the gins come in a light up bottle and shoppers can choose from a clementine or sweet blackberry flavours.

The gold leaf in the bottle resembles the flakes of snow found in a snow globe, so the gin will be a treat for the eyes, palette and purse as shoppers will save 30 percent compared to M&S version that is sold for £20.

M&S's festive gin returned to stores this September and they previously described it as "this season's must-sip gin".

The liquor was so popular that the store was forced to limit the amount of bottles shoppers could buy at a time last year.

This isn't the first time Aldi has released a product that looks similar to Marks and Spencer's.

The budget store faced a trademark dispute against M&S over the Colin Caterpillar cake. Aldi sold a Cuthbert cake of the same style.

Aldi have also just launched a new feature in all UK stores.

Customers can now buy a gift card in store. Just in time for Christmas.

Customers can buy Infusionist Glitter Globe Gin Liqueur in-store or online from November 8.
