It's a bottle of sangria, but does not come in the usual red colour you would expect it.
M&S' new version of the popular holiday drink comes as a Lightly Sparking White Sangria Cocktail.
Priced at £7, the drink comes as an alternative to the supermarket's Red Lightly Sparkling version.
It has a different taste and look to the classic sangria most people are familiar with.
The white sangria has flavours of orange, lime and papaya, whilst still maintaining its sparkling nature.
There is a freshness to this version of sangria, that makes it perfect for some summer drinks.
Laura White, owner of the account that posts money tips, said in her video: "While I'm used to thinking about sangria as the bold, fruity flavours of the red variety, I'm definitely on board for the white variety.
"And yes, I know white sangria isn't completely new but it's new to me.
"I've never tried it, I always think of sangria as the red variety, and it's new to M&S food halls.
"So what do you think?"
I work at M&S and shoppers are going wild for new cocktails - including a blood orange margarita perfect for summer
Laura asked followers what they thought of the new addition to M&S' drinks aisle, and received several responses.
Some were very much on board, with one user who wrote: "Had white sangria in Portugal made with Prosecco, so much nicer than red, will definitely go and get some."
Another added: "I've been drinking white sangria in Spain for 20 years, it's delicious, give it a try."
A third commented: "For someone who can't do red wine this is a game changer."
Others, however, were less convinced: "Nope nope nope that's not sangria."
Another sceptical user wrote: "Hmmmm I dunno I try it? Have you?"
White sangria is more common in Spain, and provides a lighter take on the more common red-wine based version of the drink.
