ALDI has announced it is no longer selling a popular flavored sparkling water in its stores. The discount retailer confirmed its Belle Vie Bold has been discontinued in a reply to a social media post on X . Shopper Rachel Victoria wrote: “My local Aldi hasn’t had these in months and I’m so sad.
What’s going on?” Aldi’s official channel replied with a broken heart emoji and said: “We are sorry to disappoint, but these have been discontinued and they are no longer available in stores.” The fizzy drink was popular with shoppers because of its more unusual flavors, such as cherry lime, blackberry cucumber and pineapple strawberry. It contained no added sugars and fans claimed there was no artificial aftertaste.

The Aldi seltzer has been compared to LaCroix sparkling waters. They both offered a range of unusual, rather than standard flavors, though the premium brand is available in a lot more varieties than the discount dupe.
The Aldi version was also a few cents cheaper per can than the LaCroix drink. Most read in Money Fans may be relieved to learn the discount retailer is still selling its Belle Vie brand of seltzer, which is available in packs of 12, but the higher-end Belle Vie Bold is no more. DISCONTINUED FAVORITES Belle Vie Bold isn’t the only product Aldi has discontinued to the dismay of shoppers.
The decision to no longer stock its popular Earth Grown Chickenless Tenders caused customers to take to social media in response. "Gutted," was the response of one upon learning the news. The grocery chain has also done away with all three varieties of its liveGfree bagels , as well as its liveGfree wraps in the past year or so.
The retailer has introduced four big changes to the grocery chain to catch up to its competition. Aggressive expansion Converting its sister stores (Winn-Dixie & Harveys Supermarkets) Introducing environmentally-friendly packaging Standardizing sustainable products Snacks that have disappeared from the shelves include its Specialty Selected Emmentaler and its Gouda Cheese Bites . While non-food items that have bitten the dust include My Beauty Spot’s Antibacterial Hand Wipes and the Huntington Home Candle in Tobacco Petals.
Meanwhile, 2025 is set to be a year of change for Aldi. The retailer plans to open new stores in 13 states including New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Ohio . In addition, it intends to continue converting Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s locations to the Aldi brand.
The retailer acquired Southeastern Grocers, the parent company of the two, last year and has already converted around 50 locations.

One change that hasn’t gone down to well however is an updated Aldi Finds section on the retailer’s website and app that no longer gives information or prices about products.
