Here's to wasting less wine!

wine-box-asdaNearly 500 million litres of wine is poured down the drain by Britons every year – as many of us are left with half-empty bottles that go off before we can finish them.

Julian Walker-Palin, from our sustainability team, writes about the latest research from WRAP, the Waste and Resources Action Programme, on his Aisle Spy blog – and introduces one of the ways we’re helping people cut down on wine wastage.

He writes: “We really hate waste at Asda so we looked at this problem and developed an updated version of the wine in a box concept as that format maximises its life. So what are the benefits of storing wine in this way? Well it stays perfectly fresh for up to four weeks after opening – a staggering extension on how long bottled wines last.”

And wine in a box doesn’t mean low-quality wine. Our new wine cubes will be available for Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, Italian Pinot Grigio, Italian Soave, Australian Chardonnay, Californian Zinfandel Rosé, Australian Shiraz, Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon and Spanish Merlot. And the packaging is pretty eye-catching too!

Find out more about the wine cubes – and what WRAP and our resident Master of Wine Philippa Carr have to say about them – on Julian’s blog.

Help us make it three-in-a-row at the Mother and Baby Awards

Here at Asda we’re very proud that we’ve been so successful at the annual Mother and Baby Awards, where we’ve taken the coveted best retailer title for the last two years. We’re really hoping we can make it three in a row and that our customers will once again choose Asda products among their favourites. Voting for the Mother and Baby Special awards is now under way and you can take part here,

We have several products being tested by mums at the moment for this year’s product awards – including Extra Care Baby Wipes, Pure & Mild Baby Wipes, our Nappy range and our Toiletries range – so we’ve got our fingers crossed that the testers like them as much as we do!

The Mother and Baby Awards are now in their 18th year and we know they’re highly thought of by our customers. The judging process for the awards is very rigorous and involves tests that are carried out by real mums and babies – this year alone 450 mums have been involved in testing more than 3,000 products!

This year’s awards ceremony will take place in November at London’s Park Lane Hilton – and our baby team are hoping it’s going to be an Extra Special evening for Asda.

How customers helped grow our expanding Free From range


You may remember earlier this year we said that we were expanding our Free From range and we asked for your help.

The reaction to our story was amazing with over 100 comments here on Your Asda suggesting how we might improve our range to give customers with special dietary requirements more choice when they’re shopping – including people with food intolerances, coeliac sufferers and anyone trying to avoid wheat or dairy products.

We’ve been busy with your feedback ever since – find out here what we’ve been up to.
