ALDI Awards
Since 2017, ALDI products have won more than 2,100 awards. From being recognized for everything from product innovation to outstanding quality, we are honored to highlight just a few of our awards below.
TIME 100
TIME100, an annual list created by TIME editors, recognizes businesses driving innovation, impact and growth. ALDI was named to this list for redefining grocery retail with a focus on efficiency and sustainability, while delivering real value to shoppers and communities nationwide. As the fastest-growing grocer in the U.S., ALDI is saving customers money and time while raising the bar for offering quality products at accessible prices.
Fan Favorites
The Fan Favorites survey is an ALDI-owned initiative that showcases the exceptional selection and quality of products in our stores. It allows fans to vote for their favorite items across categories like wine, meat, seafood, and cheese, while discovering new finds. This initiative aims to raise awareness of our diverse offerings and engage our loyal customers by giving them a fun way to share their opinions.
Product of the Year
Product of the Year is the largest consumer-based award for product innovation globally, determined through an annual survey involving over 40,000 shoppers. Its goal is to help consumers find the best products available in the market. Products are assessed and compared to well-known brand alternatives, with voting carried out by the market research company Kantar.
Best New Product Award
The Best New Product Awards is the leading consumer-voted award for consumer products. The program follows a rigorous process of product selection, category definition, and research. Winner determination is based 100% on the responses of American shoppers. The Best New Product Award’s find in-market purchasers of the competing products through an online survey of 10,328 American shoppers, to identify the ones Americans would purchase again.
Wine Enthusiast
Rating more than 24,000 wines from across the world every year, Wine Enthusiast performs blind taste tests on submitted ALDI wines. Reviewers may know general information about the product to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. Wines are rated on a scale 80 (acceptable) to 100 (classic).
*As of February 2026, based on an audit of everyday nationally distributed ALDI-exclusive branded products.
