Our wine expert reveals the best red wines to serve chilled this spring, including a £7 supermarket pick

It's not just light Beaujolais or Pinot Noir wines that benefit from a gentle chill – many reds come alive with a short stint in the fridge. It brightens fruit, lifts floral notes and brings balance. For medium to full-bodied styles give it 20 minutes, double that for lighter reds. As summer nears, freshness is key; cloying reds lose their charm. Be mindful when chilling robust reds with high tannins, as this can accentuate their bitterness.

Your new Euro Summer staple: Dua Lipa just rocked the PERFECT Aussie bikini in Italy - and it's just $89

Dua Lipa is officially the queen of Euro Summer style and her latest holiday post proves it. The pop superstar, 29, is currently soaking up the sun on a dreamy European getaway with her newly-confirmed fiancé, British actor Callum Turner. In a recent Instagram photo dump, the Hotter Than Hell singer gave fans a peek into their sun-drenched travels - and while the private helicopter, luxe villas and million-dollar diamond ring are impossible to ignore, it was her ultra-chic bikini that stood out. And here's the best part, it's from an Aussie fashion label... and it's still in stock. The black-and-white polka dot bikini, featuring delicate lace trim and dainty string ties, is the 'Juni' set by brand With Jéan, co-founded by Sydney-based designers Sami Lorkin-Tanner and Evangeline Titilas. Retailing for just $89 for the top and $79 for the bottoms, the look is surprisingly affordable for a celebrity wardrobe staple. The cheeky-cut bottoms are high-rise and tie at the sides, while the triangle-style top is flirty, flattering and totally on-trend. They also have an inclusive size range from XXS to XL and, yes, they ship Australia-wide. With polka dots having a major moment this season, it's no surprise Dua reached for this playful print. And given her fashion track record, we're predicting a sell-out fast. Her long raven wet tresses complimented the bikini perfectly after plunging into the crystal-clear water to cool off. Dua has also been quietly rocking a giant sparkler on that finger for months, but only confirmed her engagement to Callum in a recent British Vogue interview. The hitmaker admitted she never saw herself as the marrying type, saying: 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be,' she said. But while she's still working out what to wear down the aisle, one thing's clear - when it comes to poolside style, Dua Lipa absolutely nails it. But as she continues to document her lavish trips online, some X, formerly Twitter, users cracked jokes about her nonstop traveling. Many wondered where she and Callum would go for their honeymoon since the couple had already been 'everywhere.' Some even joked that she might take it to the next extreme and head to space. Retailing for just $89 for the top and $79 for the bottoms, have an inclusive size range from XXS to XL, and still are in stock online 'This girl has already traveled all over the world, where are they going for their honeymoon to make it memorable? Mars?' one user jokingly wondered on X. 'Their honeymoon is gonna be three years long,' another wrote. Others suggested the Arctic and Antarctica, while one even joked they might go to the moon sometime soon. Some people referred to the pop singer's lyrics from her hit song Levitating. 'She did say, 'Whatever, let's get lost on Mars,'' one said. 'She knows a galaxy they can run off to,' another humored. Dua is well-aware of the travel jokes and previously made a statement about it in her aforementioned Vogue article.

Kylie Jenner flaunts her hourglass curves in a white swimsuit as she joins her bikini-clad sister Kendall frolicking in the ocean at beach club in St Tropez

Kylie and Kendall Jenner have continued their lavish Euro summer by hitting the famous Lou Lou Beach Club in St. Tropez. The 27-year-old businesswoman and influencer showed off her hourglass curves in a white swimsuit as she joined a bikini-clad Kendall, 29. Kylie completed her look with a thigh-skimming skirt which showed off her toned legs and looked like she was having a great time with an impromptu dip in the cooling ocean. As she emerged from the water she wrapped a yellow and white striped towel around her and added dark shades to her look. Kendall showed off her model figure in a black bikini which she wore with a sheer polka dot dress. The sisters were joined by a fun group of pals as they all frolicked in the sea after some afternoon cocktails at the club. It comes just after Kylie sparked further speculation she has gone under the knife as she showed off her tiniest waist ever while vacationing in Tuscany this week. On Thursday, the reality star - turning 28 next month - shared a picturesque slideshow of herself modeling a gold animal-print underwire top with skimpy bottoms on the patio of her vacation home. Mom-of-two Kylie shared a close-up of her thighs balancing a plate of black cherries as well as flaunting her extremely trim waist - just days after revealing details of her boob job to fans' delight. Jenner was simply teasing her brand Khy's upcoming collaboration with Frankies Bikinis. Kylie limited her comments on the post, but Instagram user @ was suspicious of secret cosmetic procedures: 'What work has she had done? Why no stretch marks?' they asked. Instagram user @ agreed, marveling: 'Bro is a mother of 2.' 'Kim's gonna be upset,' Instagram user @ wrote of Jenner's half-sister Kim Kardashian. The pair are over in Europe after attending Jeff Bezos' wedding over the weekend in Venice, Italy Instagram user @ commented: 'How do you even look this good over the years?' Last month, the Kylie Cosmetics founder spilled the secrets to her ample assets while responding to a TikToker: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone! [Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!' Kylie - who claimed in 2023 she regretted getting a boob job - famously gets lip filler. Rumors have swirled for years that Jenner has undergone cosmetic procedures including a BBL, before allegedly reducing the size of her backside. There is no indication this is true. In 2023 renowned plastic surgeon Dr Schwitzer claimed it is 'likely' Jenner had a classic BBL in 2017 where fat is removed from the waist to make it appear slimmer, before being reinjected into the backside for a fuller appearance. He pointed to her 'exceptionally narrow' waist as a possible sign of the procedure in a TikTok video. He said: 'If you look at her more recent content, she still has a fairly nice size buttock but it is no longer out of proportion to the rest of her body' but added this may be down to weight loss also.' The Sprinter founder was joined in Italy by her big sister Kendall Jenner and her three-year-old son Aire Webster, who enjoyed the local delicacies. On Thursday, Kylie shared a cute video of her curly-haired, three-year-old daughter Stormi Webster goofing around while onboard her $73M, 10-seat 'Kylie Air' private plane - seemingly headed back home to California. Jenner welcomed her two children during her on/off five-year relationship with disgraced Astroworld founder Travis Scott, which ended in 2022. The selfie enthusiast was in Italy to attend the ostentatious $56M wedding of Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos and his mistress Lauren Sánchez in Venice where she raised eyebrows wearing bridal-white and light-silver attire.
