Aldi Specially Selected Sea Salt & Chardonnay Vinegar Crisps

Available from Aldi (£1.15/150g)

Rating: 5/5

These are everything we were looking for in a salt and vinegar crisp. They have a strong and punchy vinegar flavour, a thin crunch and golden appearance. We kept going back for more.

Co-op Irresistible Hand Cooked Sea Salt & Chardonnay Wine Vinegar Crisps

Available from Co-op (£1.75/150g)

Rating: 4.5/5

These have a great appearance: good size, some visible peel and perfect thickness. They have a strong, classic salt and vinegar flavour whilst still tasting of potato too. Described as 'just what a salt and vinegar crisp should be' by one judge.

Asda Extra Special Sea Salt and Chardonnay Wine Vinegar Crisps

Available from Asda (£1.14/150g)

Rating: 4.5/5

These crisps are on the larger side, but still sliced thinly with a satisfying crunch. They have a strong level of vinegar and decent hit of salt.

Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar Crisps

Available from Sainsbury's (£1.50/150g)

Rating: 4/5

These crisps are on the smaller side with a classic golden appearance and good crunch. The cider vinegar provides actual flavour as well as acid and tang, for a nicely rounded crisp.

McCoy's salt and malt vinegar crisps

Available from Ocado (£2.25/6 multipack)

Rating: 4/5

These look great: large crinkle cut crisps with deep ridges. They're very chunky and the salt is stronger than the vinegar. One for snacking rather than putting out for guests.

Simply Roasted sea salt and cider vinegar crisps

Available from Ocado (£2.50/93g)

Rating: 4/5

These are very thinly cut, with attractive visible potato peel round the edge but also an ever-so-slight green tint. They have a strong snap and a good vinegar hit.

Lidl Deluxe salt and balsamic vinegar crisps

Available from Lidl

Rating: 3.5/5

These have quite a thick cut texture and deeply golden colour. There is no greasiness, a good level of salt and strong vinegar element which is slightly harsh at the start.
