Aldi launches new red wines made to be served ice-cold
Marketed for barbecues, picnics, or garden soirées, Chill Bill is part of a range of other chillable reds, sold for summer sipping, including:
Specially Selected Chilean Pinot Noir (£6.99)
Chassaux et Fils Côtes du Rhône 2023 (£5.29
Specially Selected German Pinot Noir 2023 (£7.99)
According to Aldi wine expert Sam Caporn, 'Cooling certain red wine tones down the alcohol, sharpens acidity and enhances freshness, which is exactly what people are looking for in a summery sip.

'The trick is to pick reds that are low in tannins but high in flavour - like Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cinsault or Grenache - so the fruit still shines through when served chilled.
"These softer styles work brilliantly with alfresco food and can be chilled in the fridge or an ice bucket. Just take it out 20 minutes before serving so it's not too cold.'
Sam says of Chill Bill: "This lightly sparkling red is fruity and expressive - just pop it in the fridge. Grab it just in time for August soirees because, like with all Specialbuys, once it's gone, it's gone."

What is the perfect temperature to serve wine at?
That can really vary according to the type of wine. Chilling lighter reds can be beneficial, while medium and full-bodied offerings are often better a little warmer.
Experts usually recommend heavier red wines like Shiraz, Bordeaux and Malbec are served between 15 and 18 degrees. This keeps the tannins and acidity balanced.
Lighter red wines like Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Grenache are better served at around 12 degrees. This keeps the juicier fruit flavours nice and smooth.

Beauty lover Sam Luna shared how clever placement of a £2.99 bronzer can help you look like you've 'lost 2kg.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Sam shared how you should place bronzer and blusher on top of your cheekbones to look more snatched Credit: TikTok / @_sam_luna_ 4 She showed the finished result by doing the two different sides of her face differently Credit: TikTok / @_sam_luna_ 4 She used the Essence Essence Baby Got Bronze Shimmering Bronzer Stick to achieve the look Credit: Essence On her @_sam_luna_ account, she showed how you need to place contour bronzer on top of your cheek bones, instead of in the hollows of your cheek. She used Essence Baby Got Bronze Shimmering Bronzer Stick in Shade 20 Holiday Glow to help with her look. On top of this she used a blusher - the Essence Blush Stick Shade 50 in Cherry Cherry Baby - followed by a concealer which swiped up from the corner of her mouth and the outside of her nose. She then blended in the products and showed how lifted and snatched she looked, compared to the other side of her face which made her look like she'd 'gained 2kg', according to her. On the other side, she had placed the products lower down her face, which didn't 'lift' her features. On her video, Sam added: 'What a difference this make-up hack can make.' Her tip has been liked by over 82,000 people, and many were quick to comment. One said: 'That's crazy tho she looks so different.' A second added: 'That's crazy. With such a minimal amount too?' And a third commented: 'I'm defo gonna try this, thanksss.'

We recently shared how a beauty lover revealed her very handy hack which could cost as little as 1p and will save you ruining expensive compacts. Maya, who posts under @ shared how all you need is a cotton pad for the clever trick. 4 A beauty lover has shared how you can use a cotton pad to stop your powders from cracking Credit: TikTok / @ In a video which has racked up over 106,000 likes, she showed how you simply need to place the cotton pad inside your blusher or powder. You can then snap the lip shut and your powder will be protected from any bashes, which could lead to it cracking. Maya explained: 'Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking. 'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.'
