Aldi orange wine returns for summer with a sparkling twist
Last summer, orange wine was one of the world's most talked-about drinks trends, fuelled by social media buzz and a growing appetite for unique flavour profiles.
Wine bars were offering it by the glass for upwards of £8–£10.

Aldi launched its own take on the innovative tipple, which became a sensation among shoppers when it launched, seeing almost 5,000 bottles fly off the shelves in the first week alone - with sales tripling by the second week.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine is aromatic and inviting from the first sip. The nose lifts with notes of apricot and subtle floral tones, while the palate follows with a gentle tannic grip adding texture and intrigue.
Long and complex, it's been created to leave a 'lingering impression of orange marmalade and minerality', pairing well alongside a charcuterie board – perfect for golden hour catch-ups in the garden.
Aldi's Specially Selected Chassaux et Fils Sparkling Orange Wine (£9.99, 75cl) is available now.

Plus, eight garden features that add the most value to a property SO-FA, SO GOOD Aldi slashes the price of its outdoor furniture by £75, and shoppers are calling the deal 'madness' WITH some now in full force, millions of Brits are rushing to enjoy the glorious weather outdoors. But if your garden could do with some TLC, you may wish to plan a trip to the nearest Aldi, where thrifty shoppers have spotted an epic deal. 2 The mega retailer has sent shoppers into a frenzy with their latest offer Credit: Getty 2 Thrifty Brits can now save an eye-watering £75 thanks to the epic deal Credit: facebook/aldi shoppers The popular discount store has long been the go-to for many cash-savvy Brits when it comes to food - and the German retailer has now also stepped up its garden range. According to one fan of the supermarket, Aldi has slashed the price of stunning outdoor furniture - and you can save a whopping £75. Taking to Facebook to inform fellow bargain-mad shoppers about the epic deal, Chris Thomson revealed that Aldi is now selling an outdoor furniture set for a mere £24.99. The set - which includes two gorgeous chairs to relax in, as well as a smaller table - was originally going for an eye-watering £100. The stylish chairs come with light grey cushions that are ideal for providing that extra comfort when you're enjoying your morning coffee outdoors - or soaking up the sun whilst reading. The light grey style goes perfectly with the mini table, which is large enough for an outdoor candle and a bottle of your favourite tipple. If you want an extra pop of colour, you could also chuck on some bright patterned cushions - or a vibrant throw to keep you toasty during the chilly evenings. Given the epic price, it's advised to best race to the local Aldi as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on missing out. However, it's worth remembering that each location has varying stock - so some Aldi stores may not have this bargain. In his post, Chris revealed that he had bagged the gorgeous buy in Carlisle. I was quoted over $13k for my backyard garden renovation - but I did it myself with ChatGPT and saved over $11,000 At just £24.99, Aldi's cut-price version is significantly cheaper than at rival stores, where similar versions could cost you hundreds more. John Lewis shoppers, for instance, will have to fork out an eye-watering £299 - while furniture retailer Daals is charging customers an astronomical £729. Amazed by the epic deal, Chris wrote in the caption: ''Bargain from to £24.99 from £ Garden features that add the most value to a house A well-kept garden can add anywhere between 5-20% to the value of a property. carried out a study and consulted 36 estate agents, garden designers and property professionals from across the UK.

I've saved £100k at 24 & will retire at 40 – here's the 5 bad habits that are keeping you broke you need to quit TODAY
WITH the costs skyrocketing, millions of cash-strapped Brits are struggling to put money into their savings - especially the younger generation. According to shocking data, the average amount of savings in the UK is just £16,000, with those between the ages 25 and 34 having set aside a little under £4,000. 2 2 But one woman, who's just 24, has already managed to save an astronomical £100,000 - and is currently on the course of retiring by the age of 40. Mia Rose McGrath has ''almost £100,000 in savings and investments '' and follows a thrifty lifestyle so she can ''soft retire'' a whopping 26 years before her peers. With more than 143,000 followers on her TikTok page, Mia, who lives in London and works in fashion, regularly posts about the strict approach she takes to manage her finances. ''Trying to be cool or aesthetic is making you broke,'' Mia shared the brutal truth in a recent video. In her eyes, forking out for a brand new outfit or spending £38 on the trendy Rhode phone case in a bid to look ''aesthetically pleasing'' on Instagram was a total waste of money. Reflecting on her own experience, the thrifty fashionista admitted that she used to chuck away cash on this behaviour before she made a key change. She said: ''I realised I was doing it for other people, not for myself.'' The second mistake that people make, according to money-smart 24-year-old, is allowing themselves to be swept up in trends and fads that turn out to be more expensive than they can afford. The saver warned: ''You don't need the latest trending item - a Labubu, a Coach bag. It's not essential.'' While she approved of saving up for something ''you really like'', Mia encouraged her followers to be really honest with themselves before making a significant purchase. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy She added: ''I guarantee if you waited 30 days to buy it, you wouldn't want it anymore.'' The third financial mistake Mia identified in the informative clip ''not saving because you think it's pointless''. Urging those who are saving none of their income to ''please change that'', Mia argued that ''no matter how small it is'', it's still worth doing. ''I guarantee, if it's £10, £50, no matter how small it is, you're probably not doing it because of that reason,'' she reminded viewers. Mia, who has accumulated ''almost £100,000 in savings and investments'' in recent years, claimed that she also started small, even putting money aside when she was relying on a student maintenance grant at university. She continued: ''I wouldn't have been able to do that if I had that mindset that saving £50 is pointless.'' Fourthly, Mia advised to start a side hustle, telling fellow TikTokers that they're ''not too busy''. She said: ''Stop using the excuse that you don't have enough time, you just don't want to enough.'' She insisted: ''Whatever it is, creating content, creating a personal brand, making extra money - I've done all those things while at a nine to five job that I have to be in the office five days a week for.'' Lastly, the savvy saver warned that it's irresponsible to think a ''man is going to sweep in'' and facilitate the ''soft life'' that some people crave so badly. ''Soft life'' is shorthand for a life lived on a person's own terms, usually free from the constraints of a fulltime job. She added: ''There is so much bad advice on TikTok saying you need to appear in your "soft feminine energy" and go sit at a bar where a rich man will find you...'' Mia said: ''You have to work hard and have your own money.

How TikTok plans to get around the US ban
TikTok is reportedly developing a new, separate application specifically for its US users, with a planned launch in September. This development comes amid a potential US ban on the video-sharing platform unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells its American operations. A sale agreement is said to be in place, with the new app expected to be available in US app stores from 5 September. Donald Trump has stated that the United States "pretty much" has a deal regarding TikTok's sale and will engage in discussions with China. The controversy surrounding TikTok centres on national security concerns, including allegations that ByteDance could manipulate content or misuse user data.
