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.
Wine expert taste tests the newest supermarket dupe of Whispering Angel
"At excellent value, Lidl's Breath of Paradise is a summer game changer."
Bampfield added the wine is best served well chilled or over a large ice cube.

Plus, TV wine and drinks expert Andy Clarke said he was blown away by the quality.
"I've tasted hundreds of rosés over the years and it's always so exciting to find a new one that whizzes straight to the top of my list!
"... Move over Whispering Angel… Rosé doesn't get better than this!"

Terrifying message sent by ‘Chinese hackers' to M&S boss after crippling cyber attack on British retailer is revealed
The blackmail message is believed to have included a racist term RANSOM DEMAND Terrifying message sent by 'Chinese hackers' to M&S boss after crippling cyber attack on British retailer is revealed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 'CHINESE hackers' allegedly sent a terrifying message to the boss of Marks & Spencer following a crippling cyber-attack on the British retailer. Fraudsters, believed to be from the hacking group DragonForce, are said to have emailed the company's chief executive Stuart Machin and seven other key executives. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 High street retailer Marks & Spencer was hit by a cyber attack over the Easter holiday Credit: Alamy 2 M&S boss Stuart Machin, pictured, along with seven other company executives were emailed by the hackers, believed to be DragonForce Credit: PA The message, written in broken English, was sent on April 23, indicated that M&S was hacked by the ransomware group, although the retailer has not acknowledged this. 'We have marched the ways from China all the way to the UK and have mercilessly raped your company and encrypted all the servers,' the hackers wrote, according to the BBC. 'The dragon wants to speak to you so please head over to [our darknet website].' The link to the darknet shared in the email led to a portal for victims of DragonForce to negotiate a ransom fee. The hackers added: 'Let's get the party started. Message us, we will make this fast and easy for us.' DragonForce's attack during the Easter holiday has been hugely damaging for one of Britain's best-known retailer and is thought to have cost the firm an estimated £300million. After six weeks on from the attack, the retailer is still unable to process online orders. The email was sent to Mr Machin along with seven other top executives, according to the corporation. A racist term is also said to have been included in the blackmail message and also ended with an image of a fire-breathing dragon. Along with installing ransomware in order to cripple M&S's IT system the hackers are also believed to have stolen private data from millions of customers. The £3.50 M&S buy that'll make your whole house smell like a 'boujee candle' Three weeks on from the attack, M&S informed customers that contact details and dates of birth from some shoppers had been obtained by a suspected cyber cartel. M&S also admitted other personal details, including customers' order histories, had also been pilfered by online criminals. Bosses though have stressed that no data relating to shoppers' payment, card details or account passwords had been obtained. It is unclear how many customers have been affected by the data breach. According to the company's full-year results, it had 9.4million active online customers in the year up to March 30. The email apparently sent by DragonForce is thought to have bene sent using the account of an employee from IT company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which has provided IT services to the retailer for more than a decade. The Indian IT worker, who is based in London, had an M&S email address but is paid employee of TCS.

Household bills have risen by £36bn collectively since March, with UK households paying over £100 more a month on average. We spoke to an expert on what the public can do to cut their bills, with three key potential cost-cutting areas being broadband, mobile and energy. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad How can I cut my household bills? Sabrina Hoque, telecoms expert, said: 'It really has been an awful April. So most of us in the UK would have been impacted by the rising cost of bills. Now that's across water, energy, broadband, mobile, council tax, we would have all seen our bills getting more and more expensive. 'It is costing us individually over £100 extra a month, but collectively in the UK that adds up to £36 billion so it is a lot of money. 'Not only is this impacting customers financially, but it is also affecting them emotionally as well, with 12% of Brits are now not able to save at all. Council tax, water for now there's not much we can do, but broadband, mobile and energy is where customers could really help themselves and see some very significant savings. 'It used to be the case that loyalty would pay but unfortunately that's not the case anymore. So for those customers that have been with their provider for four to six years, it's likely that they're out of contract so those are the customers that could save the most. There are some really incredible introductory rates that we see, so if a customer did switch away to a new provider they're likely to make the biggest savings. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'So for those out of contract now's a great time to switch, there's no exit fee, make a lot of savings. If you're in contract, always call your provider up first to see if they can help you out, if you are really concerned about paying bills. It may be as practical as something like removing a particular service so if you took broadband out a few years ago and you've added TV to it, it might be you might not need the TV element of it, so see if your provider can actually take that element off, but the key thing is call your provider up, see if they can actually help you with your bills.' What would you do with a spare £100? We asked people in the UK what they'd do with an extra £100. Some people said they would put the £100 towards a holiday, while others said they'd spend the money on food or eating out. A lot of people said they'd use their £100 for their household bills. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One man said he'd put the £100 towards paying his car insurance, while someone else said they'd use it to buy books or records. Some people also said they'd give the money to charity.
