Co-op to launch range of grapes that taste like a Mojito cocktail
The grocer said the flavour of the grapes, which it described as 'sweet with a hint of lime', was developed by growers in Spain who hybridised one flavour of grape with another.
The grapes will go on sale for just three weeks in selected stores and cost £2.90 as part of the convenience retailer's premium Irresistible range.
Kate Byrne-Fletcher, Co-op's head of fresh produce, said: 'This new variety is a must-try for mojito cocktail fans, and we're thrilled to be adding it into our fresh fruit aisle for our members and customers to enjoy as a healthy snack or freezing and adding to summery drinks.
'We're expecting this new variety to fly off the shelves and it will only be in stores for just a few weeks due to the limited seasonal window.'
The variety, which launched last year in Spain, was developed by the fruit development firm Uvasdoce Fresh, and is the first in the new 'Fresh Mocktail Collection' of grapes.

New BANES bin times 'could cost businesses thousands'
Councillors have questioned why a change to bin collections, which could cost businesses thousands, was not been scrutinised before a decision was July, Bath and North East Somerset Council (BANES) cabinet member Mark Elliott signed off changes to the rules around the city centre evening business waste a result, the time shops are allowed to put their bins was moved to 18:00 BST, even though some businesses close at 17:00 to the council's own analysis, these businesses could now have to spend £3,089 a year in additional wages for someone to stick around to put the bins out. Charlie Dalton-Ball of family-run jewellers S. P. Green & Co in Bath, had warned the committee: "On paper this might seem achievable, but in reality it is entirely unworkable. "Our business is staffed from 10:00 BST until 17:30 BST which means there is now no legal window for us to place out our waste while the business is staffed."He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service he believed the decision was "undemocratic". At a council meeting on 29 July, which was the first time the decision had been discussed in front of a scrutiny panel, Midsomer Norton North, Independent councillor Shaun Hughes said: "This, I don't feel, has had the right level of scrutiny."Mr Elliott said he had only been responsible for the portfolio covering this area of council policy since May."I am very happy to commit to you, as the portfolio holder now, that I will attempt to bring things to scrutiny if they look like scrutiny is required or will be helpful," he added. In light of a "small response" to a previous consultation, Mr Elliot decided the change would instead be brought in as a pilot and run for 12 months. But Midsomer Norton North, Independent councillor Shaun Hughes said the council would "do a better job" through scrutiny of mitigating and problems before moving to a pilot.

Brooklyn Beckham ends feud with Becks after booze clash
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKLYN Beckham has ended his feud with Becks, after a clash over booze. The 26-year-old has been in dispute with one of the biggest beer brands in the world, Becks, which is owned by Brauerei Beck & Co. 4 Booklyn Beckham has ended his feud with Becks, after a clash over booze Credit: Instagram 4 The company was protesting over Brooklyn's bid to trademark the phrase 'Becks Buns' Credit: Instagram 4 The alcohol giants had enlisted hotshot lawyer Nadya Davis, from Holland & Hart LLP Credit: Getty The company was protesting over Brooklyn's bid to trademark the phrase 'Becks Buns' with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Last year, he applied to officially rubber-stamp the phrase under classifications such as sauces, beers, wines, sauces, clothing, and even kitchen knives. But now the warring parties have come to an agreement. Brooklyn's US firm Buster Hot Sauce Inc, which filed the trademark application, has agreed to delete the two classifications which are linked to 'Beer' and "Distilled spirits; wine; mirin in the nature of Japanese shochu-based mixed liquor'. The deletion of those classifications was 'in compliance with a third party agreement", which should mean it's a formality for the trademark to now be allowed. The alcohol giants had enlisted hotshot lawyer Nadya Davis, from Holland & Hart LLP, while Brooklyn hired trademark legal specialists Merchant & Gould PC. Brooklyn had his hands full for this legal battle, as Brauerei Beck & Co's fought numerous US firms for using similar words such as Secks, Brasserie Beck, Becks Master Brew and Buck's Landing. Brauerei Beck & Co's parent company AB InBev is one of the world's biggest breweries with "21 iconic billion-dollar brands' and one in four lagers sold throughout the world comes from the firm, according to its website. This includes Stella, Budweiser, Corona Extra, Carling, Skol and Jupiler. David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off' Meanwhile, the star's feud with his family still wages on. Victoria Beckham's long-awaited Netflix programme is due for release in October, but eldest son Brooklyn won't feature amid the family's ongoing feud. It is understood she will not touch on the simmering feud - although she has promised there will be 'tears' in the four-parter. Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his actress spouse throughout - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama - amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage. A source added to us: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. "This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer." The Sun has learned that Victoria comes across 'brilliantly' - continuing from her scene-stealing one-liners in David's own four-parter.
