La Vieille Ferme wine, which is also known as chicken wine because of the chickens on the bottle, is a popular choice for wine lovers because of its taste and cheap price.
One keen bargain hunter spotted the updated beverage on the shelves of their local Sainsbury's and took to social media to rave about the cans.
"Chicken wine in a can! I know what I'm drinking all summer," they wrote over the viral TikTok clip.
The rose wine comes in 200ml cans for £3.10 each, but shoppers with a Nectar card can enjoy four cans for the price of three.

Fellow TikTok users were overjoyed to stumble across the discovery and agreed the new cans have made their summer.
One commented: "Delish!"
And a second chimed in: "omg omg omg."
But others thought the cans were too small, as one exclaimed: "Wouldn't touch the sides at 200ml."

Meanwhile, someone else did the maths to work out if the cans were really worth the price, they said: "4 for 3 so £9.30 for 800ml, that's a £9 bottle of wine."
But someone else pointed out, "yes, but it's in a can so you pay for easy."
Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel
"True, I'd try for a picnic," another added.
Wine lovers have already left rave reviews for the drink on the Sainsbury's website, awarding it an average of 4.5 stars of of five.

One wrote: "Having followed La Vielle from the large bottle to the mini bottle, it now arrives in a can. Great value, tastes as good as ever."
NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks: men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.

Another said: "It's wine in a can, good for emergencies. Tastes just like the regular "chicken wine" that comes in bottles."
Notable, the wine doesn't just come in cans and the classic bottle though, it's also been available to buy in a box for a while too.
1.5L of the La Vieille Ferme Rose Wine will set you back £15.75 in Sainsbury's, if that's more your thing.

Mum rants about ‘worst hols ever' & ‘disgusting food' at 4-star Greek hotel but trolls call her a ‘drama queen'
The mother had her hubby carrying her across puddles GREEK TRAGEDY Mum rants about 'worst hols ever' & 'disgusting food' at 4-star Greek hotel but trolls call her a 'drama queen' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRIT mum has been dubbed a ''drama queen'' after ranting about the ''worst holiday ever'' at a four-star Greek hotel. Mother-of-two, only known as TikToker @strawbz938, jetted off to Greece with her family after booking the holiday with TUI. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The mother-of-two took to TikTok to rant about 'the worst holiday ever' Credit: TikTok/@strawbz938 2 The family were moved to a different part of the resort - but the mother was anything but impressed Credit: TikTok/@strawbz938 The furious mother, from Cardiff, claimed they were promised ''a five-star resort'' where they'd stay for ''seven nights'' - but the ordeal soon turned into ''a long list of problems''. After landing in Rhodes and checking into the resort, the mum discovered the accommodation was ''a three-star resort''. ''But because they have a water park, they're able to bump it up to a four-star. ''In my opinion, it's not even a three-star,'' she said in the TikTok video, showing viewers the conditions of the resort. The outraged mother also added that while the pool area ''looked stunning'', upon further inspection, she discovered everything was ''taped together''. After complaining to the staff, the family was then moved to a different part of the resort - however, the new room also ''wasn't up'' to her standards. ''I was under the impression that I was booking a five-star resort,'' she said, vowing to ''do research and read the reviews'' next time. Unfortunately for the holiday-goers, it ''then went from bad to worse'', as they here hit by ''a massive storm''. ''We got absolutely soaked walking back and forth from the one hotel to the other. At this point, I was just wanted to cry,'' the TikToker lamented. To their absolute horror, the area was covered by mega puddles - with the hubby having to carry the mother across, as ''there was no way'' she'd walk through the rain water in her ''90p flip flops from Primark''. Most popular treats for Brits on holiday Although the following day the weather had improved, the mother was less than impressed with the food - which she dubbed ''absolutely disgusting''. Sharing her woes online, the holiday-goer also showed viewers her plate of lasagna, salad, coleslaw and couscous. After desperately wanting to ''leave the hotel'', the family ventured out and visited the ''stunning'' Old Town. She said: ''Everyone kept telling to try and cheer up and just deal with it - that's exactly what I did for my children, I wanted them to have the best holiday ever.'' But their troubles didn't end there - as an hour after going to bed, they were woken up by ''a massive earthquake''. In the end, the mother decided that she had had ''enough'' and took the family back home. She went on in the caption: ''I know I'm lucky to have a holiday and some people aren't in a position to even go away for the weekend but when you've requested specific standards and you turn up to a lot less, it's very frustrating!'' Cheap holiday essentials IF you're jetting abroad this summer, here are the cheap holiday essentials you won't want to miss. PACKING CUBES: They're loved by mum-of-22 Sue Radford and not only do they save space in your luggage, but they'll ensure that your case is super neat and tidy. TAG TRACKER: There's nothing worse than loosing your luggage, but thanks to this handy £15 buy from B&M, you won't have to worry about that on your next trip. KIDS' CABIN BAG: Don't worry if you can't afford to splash the cash on a Trunki, as Aldi are selling an alternative dupe buy for just £29.99 - and it's great for children. HAND LUGGAGE CASE: For those that are opting to go hand luggage instead of paying a fortune for a check-in bag, Morrisons are selling extra small cases, that are perfect for taking on a flight, for only £7.99. Although TUI ''are currently dealing with the situation'', the furious TikToker - who claimed to have forked out £5k for the trip - said she didn't ''have much faith at all''. ''As for me being dramatic over the earthquake - yes, I do overreact, I overthink and I panic and when my children are involved I act fast and I just up and left, maybe if I hadn't of had the worst holiday ever to begin with I'd feel more comfortable saying after I'd calmed down!'' 'Drama queen' Since being posted online, the holiday video has taken the internet by storm, amassing close to 370k views in just one day. But while the mother was certainly far from impressed with the getaway, people online thought she was overreacting, as they branded her a ''drama queen''. One said: ''Drama queen. you cut your kids holiday short,take out board games,enjoy your time with the children!'' Another chimed in: ''Complaining about the weather and earthquake like it's TUI or the Hotels fault.'' A third joked: ''Did TUI make it rain?'' Someone else said: ''I don't think I've ever booked a holiday without extensively checking review sites. Is that not just standard practice?'' However, there were also plenty of those who agreed with the mum-of-two, with one writing: ''it looks sounds like a holiday from hell. nice that your husband carried you over the puddle lol.'' ''This is such a shame when you spend your hard earned money trying to make the best memories for your family! glad you're home safe!'' commented another.

'My cat had a psychic reading and his demanding requests were eye-opening'
With spiritual readings for pets increasing in popularity thanks to platforms like TikTok, Mirror Online tried out the trend with a leading celebrity mind reader, and the results were intriguing Animal psychic Jackie Weaver is renowned for being able to read the minds of pets around the world, and my cat seems to have a sixth sense too. Five minutes before Jackie arrives at my home, the normally laid back British Blue Shorthair is on high alert. Usually to be found hanging out by his food bowl or snoozing in his favourite cat carrier, Humphrey has scarpered by the time the psychic knocks on my door. With animal psychic readings said to be increasing in popularity, particularly on social media platforms like TikTok, Mirror Online decided to give it a whirl and naturally sought out the creme de la creme of experts. Jackie is a celebrity psychic who has done readings for Coronation Street legend Bill Roache's dogs and actor Matthew Rhys' horses - but can she accurately analyse my pride and joy? Luckily Humphrey's nosey side wins out and by the time I've learned all about the psychic's incredible career, he has reappeared - just in time for his reading. It's fair to say Humphrey wasn't too keen on having his thoughts read at first. When he met Jackie, he jumped onto the kitchen table, rolled onto his side looking at her enticingly to lure her in and then, when she stroked him, to my horror he went in for the kill. First came the warning bite before he gave the psychic's hand several whacks with his paw, with his tail lashing away furiously in the background. "You told me you weren't mean," laughed Jackie, as my angry cat turned upside down and much to my mortification, attacked her with his paws once again. Bumpy introduction over and soon they're soon 'chatting away'. "I'm going to ask him to tell me about himself and see what he comes up with," she says, laughingly telling me the first thing Humphrey tells her is: "I do lazy really well". Spot on! Humphrey says he often gets under my feet too which is also correct as he's forever trying to kill me on the stairs. My cat tells Jackie he enjoys it when my young daughter covers him with a blanket and draws pictures of him. He confesses to naughtily tapping her on the head with his paws occasionally too. I urge Jackie to ask Humphrey why he won't sleep in my daughter's bedroom, something she's keen to make happen and he says she'll need to be less hands on and stop talking in her sleep. "He's saying: 'I'm just looking'," says Jackie of the approach he wants her to take when it comes to her endless cuddles. "That's his advice to her." Humphrey says the word "biscuits" to Jackie too, which stuns me because my daughter used to sneak cat biscuits upstairs to try and tempt him into her room, at least until I put a stop to it. Humphrey is childlike himself, Jackie says, picking up on the fact he sleeps in my bed and likes to switch between the top and bottom ends of it. He tells her about his cat pals in the neighbourhood - a "small, cute tabby" who fits the description of my neighbour's cat and a "black and white tuxedo" moggie who pops in occasionally. So how would Humphrey describe his life? "Very easy indeed". His only complaint seems to be about the vet - he's keen to tell me his teeth and ears are absolutely fine and don't need examining anymore. His only ailment, he tells Jackie, is coughing up the occasional furball. The most surprising request Humphrey makes concerns the outdoors, with Jackie accurately picking up on the fact he spends most of his time in the back garden and rarely ventures out front. "Cat mint," Humphrey tells me through the psychic. Our cat used to have this plant in the garden of our old house and it seems he'd like it in our new one too. "I had no idea I was psychic for a long time," says Jackie of how she got started in the business. "I got to my early 40s and got stage four cancer, they only gave me four weeks to live. That was in 2005 and it wasn't my time to go, I had loads of chemotherapy. "At that point I had no physical strength. We had horses and dogs and I booked an animal communicator as a treat to come and talk to them. "She talked to my rescue dog who told her I could communicate too and the penny dropped. She showed me how to do it - when it comes into your head it often sounds like your own thoughts and you have to learn to distinguish between the two." Jackie is busier than ever, with her clients ranging from everyday people to high-flyers and famous faces. She focuses on spirit work and end of life, saying it's most rewarding and most needed. "Animals are so accepting of going to heaven," she says, detailing how she often passes on a dying pet's last request. Jackie has worked with a wide range of animals including horses, dogs, ferrets and even a kangaroo. She recently did a reading for her first bearded dragon. "It said to me: 'My skin's actually soft'," she said. "He looked very spiky on the picture but his owner confirmed the skin on his belly was very soft." Another client was a guide dog who became unusually stressed when his blind owner, who rode horses, took her wheelbarrow over to the manure heap at the stables. "She pulled the wheelbarrow behind her and the dog told me: 'She's not got a guide'," said Jackie. "I suggested she started pushing the wheelbarrow in front of her and her dog was fine watching her from then on." The psychic, who declined to say how much she charges and asked for a donation to an animal charity in lieu of a fee from us, works around the world mainly by phone. She is able to work from a picture of description or even just a description of an animal and is particularly sought after in the United States and Australia. While I tried to keep an open mind about Humphrey's reading I am a natural cynic, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned. Jackie's analysis was pretty accurate and while there were no huge revelations there were takeaways I will put into practie. Above all, by the time Jackie had left I was reassured I have a very happy cat. I can definitely see how her readings bring comfort to people whose pets have recently passed away and with a nation full of pet lovers, can only see the popularity of animal psychics increasing.

I scooped huge National Lottery win and quit my job hours later… here's what I do day to day
A MUM-of-four has revealed how her life has transformed after scooping thousands of pounds in the National lottery. Olivia Love, 36, received the life-changing call on May 16, telling her she had won £10,000 a month for the next year. 3 3 3 After receiving the news of her massive win, the Glaswegian pulled the plug on her supermarket job and spent £750 going shopping. But she said she is still processing the news. Olivia, who was previously on Universal credit to help with childcare, said she still thinks this is a "vivid dream" and will one day be woken up. She told Metro: "I just didn't believe it, I still don't believe it. I keep thinking this is a really vivid dream and at some point somebody is going to pinch me. "It's hard to put into words how much this means to me." Before striking gold, the supermarket worker earned £800 a month working at a kiosk. But now she has her sights set on a career in content creation. She's already amassed 200,000 views by sharing videos on TikTok about how her life has changed since her lucky win. In addition to taking her husband out shopping and leaving her job, Olivia has also started getting more help around the house. She's employed cleaners and gardeners - and even has somebody who picks up her laundry. Despite feeling "anxious" about all the money, she said "everyone is happy for us" and hasn't been bothered by people asking for cash. For lotto hopefuls she's advised just giving the game a shot. She said: "It is just a game of chance. You can win." According to one woman, lottery winners have a plethora of requests and ambitions after claiming their funds. Amanda Herrera runs a specialist concierge service which helps National Lottery millionaires and high net worth individuals splash their cash. Amanda's service - called The Fixer - has handled over 5,000 bespoke requests from more than 600 new National Lottery millionaires. From booking luxury cruises to Antarctica to arranging meet-and-greets with hard-to-access celebrities, no request is too extravagant for the concierge professional. During the last five years, The Fixer has spent more than £4M chartering private jets for winners, and more than 500 dream holidays have been booked for family and friends as winners want to share their joy and celebrate with those closest to them. All big winners of the National Lottery receive specialist advice and support from experts from the operators, Allwyn. 'The Fixer' then steps in to 'add the magic touch' and help winners navigate their new lives - and big dreams - with flair. One of Amanda's most frequent requests from many winners is flying pet pooches with their owners to some of the most exclusive locations around the world – all because winners haven't wanted their dogs to miss out on the celebrations. Amanda said: 'It can be a daunting experience - it sounds crazy to say - but imagine going from having a small amount of money in the bank to suddenly having millions - just like that. 'It is one incredible journey that these winners are embarking on, and I feel so honoured to be able to play such an important role in crafting and creating bespoke and unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experiences for these incredibly lucky individuals. 'A new designer watch or handbag, a VIP trip to the Grand Prix in Monaco or a VIP world cricket tour, a meet and greet with a superstar or a private showing of Cirque de Soleil on your chosen desert island – these are all real experiences enjoyed by winners which we have helped to create.'
