Lidl launched its Whispering Angel dupe this week - and it's half the price.
A bottle of Breath of Paradise costs just £10.99, making it more than 50% less.
It's made mostly with Grenache grapes grown in the French region of Provence, and has an aroma of fresh peach and wild herbs.
Breath of Paradise hit shelves this week and it's only available while stocks last, so you'll need to get in quick.
Lidl's master of wine Richard Bampfield said: "Well known for producing grapes that fuel the 'premium dry rosé' category, wines from the region of Provence are well known by both Brits and the French alike.
"However, with branded options often carrying a hefty price tag, most tend to reserve them for special occasions rather than include them in the weekly shop.

Bampfield added the wine is best served well chilled or over a large ice cube.

Brits throwing away £256 every year by staying loyal to banks
Sticking with current accounts that give nearly zero perks may be causing Brits to lose close to £256 a year — one bank is offering an alternative solution with a new launch. Millions of Brits are sticking with current accounts that give them next to no perks — even when changing banks could put hundreds in their pocket. A new study reveals 40% of people have never switched provider, despite 58% feeling let down when incentives are cut. It comes in the same week that Santander shuts its 123 Lite account, moving clients to Everyday, which has fewer rewards. More than half (51%) of Santander customers surveyed were unaware that this was happening. The research was carried out by Zopa Bank, who claim their newly launched Biscuit account offers four times the value of Everyday with customers able to earn £256 a year through cashback and interest. To prove the point, Zopa sent a giant box of biscuits through London, encouraging people to check the value of their account. The oversized snack box contained 10,240 biscuits valued at £256 — the exact amount the bank says customers can earn in a year. Merve Ferrero, Zopa's chief strategy officer, said: 'We know that over a third of UK consumers stick with their bank out of habit, even when their loyalty goes unrewarded. 'At Zopa, we want to change that. With Biscuit, we've launched the UK's best free current account for everyday value — combining the peace of mind of a fully regulated bank with the ease and value customers expect from a modern digital experience. 'Whether it's cashback on bills, interest on savings, or effortless money management in one place, Biscuit makes everyday banking better.' The survey also reveals a clear generational divide in banking behaviour. While older customers are more likely to stay loyal even when perks disappear, 23% of Gen Z plan to shop around, compared with just 16% of 45–55-year-olds. Gen Z are also turning to new sources for money advice with 42% consulting AI and social platforms like ChatGPT, TikTok, and Reddit, compared with 30% of millennials. Unsurprisingly, spending priorities for a £256 windfall differ with millennials favouring football tickets (22%), Ninja gadgets (15%) or a Sky Sports /TNT subscription (11%). Gen Z's shopping list also includes football tickets (13%) alongside Oasis tickets (10%) and Dubai-style chocolate (10%). Zopa, launched in 2020, has already attracted 1.5 million customers and won multiple banking awards. Its giant biscuit delivery, which trundled past landmarks including Pudding Lane and Tower Bridge, was taken to a foodbank.

DWP warning as millions of Brits must check their bank at 12pm on Friday
Millions of Brits will receive their benefits three days early this month, but there are some important things to note. An expert has given some vital advice Millions of Brits on benefits such as Universal Credit and PIP will receive their payments three days early this month - but there's a catch. Experts are cautioning that the early payment could leave many Brits in a bind before the next one arrives. The August bank holiday is on Monday 25 August, meaning anyone expecting their benefit payment on that day will get it on Friday 22 August instead. This applies to a wide range of benefits including:. Universal Credit State Pension Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Carer's Allowance Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) Income Support Attendance Allowance Pension Credit READ MORE: 'Garden shed tax' warning for UK households - check if you're affected READ MORE: BT warning for anyone who still has UK landline in their home Fiona Peake, Personal Finance Expert at Ocean Finance, explains: "Getting your money on Friday instead of the Monday might feel like a win going into the long weekend, but it means you'll have three extra days to stretch it. "That can throw your budget out, especially if you're living week to week. It's not always easy to hold back spending when your account's just been topped up but blowing through your benefit early could leave you short when it really matters. "Most benefits hit accounts in the early hours, but if yours hasn't arrived by midday Friday, check your bank again before panicking. If nothing shows up, get on the phone. Don't wait until after the bank holiday when lines will be jammed. Contact Universal Credit, PIP or your relevant benefits line before 5pm Friday so there's still time to get help. "Some people get caught out by thinking they'll always get their benefits early around a bank holiday. That's not the case. If your next due date falls on a normal working day, your payment will be back to its usual timing and if you've spent early, you might already be playing catch-up." 5 ways to make your money last Freeze your card on payday Fiona says, "It may sound extreme, but if you've got a habit of splurging as soon as money lands, hit pause. Most banking apps let you freeze your debit card instantly. It gives you a cooling-off period before impulse buys." Treat Friday like Monday "Don't think of the early payment as a bonus. It's not. Treat Friday 22 August like it's your usual payday and plan your week as normal." Check your Direct Debits "The early payment might not line up with when your bills go out, and that can leave you short just as rent or utilities come calling. Log into your bank now and check your Direct Debit dates. Shifting them by a few days can help you avoid missed payments and overdraft charges." Stock up on cupboard staples "If you've got a bit of wiggle room, grab extra essentials like pasta, rice, and tinned goods. That way, if money's tight in the last few days before your next payment, you've got back-up." Use the 'spare change' trick "Round up every spend to the nearest pound and stash the difference using an app or savings pot. It might only be a few quid, but it adds up fast and it's perfect for emergencies."
